Elon musk may lose a lot of money if he doesn't sell off soon. He seems to be thinking the IT/Tech model of something new giving a dominating advantage will work in the automotive market. But, I don't think that model is so easily transfera

Had a gut feeling that asking an advance is a "better" practice, in generally making an impression that one is a professional. This article does a great job in making that "why" crystal clear. But then, there are always exceptions, I have a

It does, big time for me. But then it would depend from person to person. I can be a restless person sometimes, to say it lightly. So I need to print out a long email to read it, and then I usually read it while walking and that works perfe

Quite insightful compared to your run-of-the-mill checklists. I guess it wouldn't have come up on hbr.org otherwise. Its nice it covers some really diverse aspects of a business. I am glad I have followed some of them which I was already aw

Thats a pretty awesome achievement, I hope he keeps it up and does some good with it. Goes to show what 2 weeks of complete absolute immersion into something can result in. There's always a chance that such a thing could be a fake claim, bu

Would have liked it better if it had gone in more depth. Nevertheless, it was a good one. "The message to each of us should be clear as well. If we focus on our feelings in the short term, we'll undermine ourselves in the long run." That wa
