Take notes. That forces you to process what they are saying instead of thinking about your response. You’ll have plenty of time to talk when they stop.

Yes. Because the scope is so broad and the purpose is investing in our relationship, my directs often have so much to talk about that we have topics still untouched at the end of 30 minutes. This is universal across my whole team: extrovert

I do weekly half-hour 1:1’s with all my direct reports. Each one is pre-scheduled for the same time every week. I almost never cancel, although I do reschedule sometimes. The first half is for whatever they want to talk about (work status,

PG invented that definition when he started YC. It's a good definition, and useful in the VC world. But it's not the original definition, and most of the non-VC/Valley world still uses the original one: a business that is try

That definition of "startup" is very valley-centric. Most of the rest of the world still means it the way the grandparent meant. A small, fairly young company that is building a new product/service.

I'm not sure if that's true, but if it is then electric cars will definitely reduce the problem. They use regenerative braking for a large percentage of their braking power, which means that the brake pads are used much less.

Kbutler is joking. HomeGrocer and WebVan were early companies that attempted to sell groceries on the Internet. They both collapsed in the dot-com crash. I am not sure why they failed but more recent attempts seem to be succeeding. My two c

We buy market data from two sources every year. They get their data by collecting it from the companies that buy their data. Obviously that's not perfect, but it's more objective than most other methods. That hardest part is figur

Counterpoint: I still use only Thinkpads because they have TrackPoint. For those of us who prefer it, it is vastly superior to trackpads.

I get the same amount of serendipity now with a smartphone as I did pre-Internet. Before, I'd wander around the area randomly and then grab some tourist brochures if I didn't find anything interesting. Now, I do the same but with

I started with SQL Server 7, which was soon after the fork from Sybase. The current versions still have the same syntax and core features. Performance, replication, features, and tools are all vastly improved. But it still feels like the s

The safe alternative (from Tesla's perspective) would have been to let SolarCity die. That's why people are questioning Musk's actions on this deal: they look like he's putting his own interests ahead of Tesla's.

All of that sounds reasonable, except "Live in a multi-unit building in a city". Being that close to that many people sounds like hell.

Yes, that would be very interesting. As a hiring manager, I wouldn't make a decision based solely on that information, but I definitely would use it if it was available.

Yeah, most feedback is going to come from what the giver feels is important, and a manager will usually prioritize what the company needs. A good manager will also prioritize the employee's own goals, but not every manager (or company)

Oh, ok. I was mostly talking about how an individual can get maximum benefit from feedback. One of the biggest sources of growth for me has been actively engaging and acting on the feedback I receive. For more on that, I strongly recommend

by joshyeager 10y ago
Yes, feedback is essential for growth. Without it, you can't grow any farther or faster than your own ability to evaluate yourself and decide how to improve. Annual performance reviews aren't a good feedback tool. They are much to
