Sure. And please note, I'm not prescribing or suggesting anything about the end of the world regarding a single missed night of sleep. I am commenting about the world of ignorance I had regarding sleep prior to a very recent education.

I would have been mad. Heck, I'm mad just reading that. It's bad management. If you are going to use metrics you have to know that they are going to create perverse incentives. It's management's job to be vigilant in see

I laughed. I can go glass half-full or empty on OKR's. They obviously have value, but using OKR's at Google is one of the biggest selection biases possible. Google seems to have done so many things in its history that would be dea

I learned from the article that KP's problem was that their firm bifurcated. They had a growth fund led by Mary Meeker which was likely responsible for a number of those impressive logos you listed. Meeker's success with the growt

Good question. This is not my domain, but it reminds me of financial fraud, accountability of those at the top, and the consequences they face. I was studied accounting in the wake of the major accounting scandals of the late 90's&#x2F

What about Amazon makes it successful with having multiple versions of the same concept at one time compared to Google's* lack of success doing the same? *At least my impression of Google and their structure/incentive system that

Leading by Example, as you describe it, sounds a lot like Andy Grove's concept of Task Relevant Maturity [0], described in his book High Output Management [1], which seems popular with the tech crowd. [0] https://getlighthou

I came to Revisionist History with a healthy skepticism of Gladwell. I echo your sentiments about its worth. The semi-connected episodes 4,5,6 from season 1 about education hooked me. I also enjoyed Saigon 1965 (S01E02) and the one about Mc

By "garbage collect" I assume you mean autophagy. Just ran across this yesterday from the Salk Institute, which looks promising for autophagy [1]. Now, the hypothesis is that fasting is one of the ways we can induce autophagy. The

I agree that what consumers want!=what corporations want. The implicit point in my post above is that consumers are voting with their wallets for the low-cost fares, that are complicated and convoluted. So in this instance of airline ticket

Thank you. That's a clear accounting of perverse incentives in action at Google. "I adopted a new strategy. Before starting any task, I asked myself whether it would help my case for promotion. If the answer was no, I didn’t do it
