I heard today by an older "old-school" partner that the partners who want to work reduced hours are "annoyed" because their compensation is less... He used a not so nice term.  Their comp is based on billable hours... Gee when young female mothers complained.   They were told it was completely fair.   Now that it affects them, and the comp is not based on results...they are mad.   Makes me LOL!  #womenpartners  #otherside #newbusinessmodel  #willthisforcechangenowthatitaffectsmen #radicalcpa #accounting #tax …see more

Enjoyed sharing my journey with students at SP College, Pune during their Maven festival celebrating their centenary year

"Take an inclusive approach when it comes to promotions. Lean into them, rather than out. The average-case outcome of a "yes" decision is the candidate tops out at their next natural level, which means they're a good performer. The best case outcome is that they thrive and grow, and feel rewarded. The worst case outcome is that we miss a promo for someone who was up for promo for good reasons, and they leave the company. If a promo candidate is performing at the next level, promote them. If they're performing at the next two levels, fast track them to get there. If they're on the bubble for promo, err to the side of inclusion whenever possible." - Jeff Bezos …see more

🍗 Want to know my LinkedIn story of growth? Within 3 years, I gained almost 40k followers. At one time, I had 22k profile views. I became super active on LinkedIn 3 years ago. And it started with video. Since then I’ve been recognised as a 3x LinkedIn’s Top Voice. This is a story about how I became a channel on LinkedIn and more. There’s a bit of fried chicken too. No longer is LinkedIn a static resume. It’s a distribution channel to amplify your brand/voice. If I can do it. You can too. Amplify your voice. Be you.

The biggest favour you can do for yourself is to stop hiding behind the mask of professionalism. "professionalism" is a strong excuse to execute "perfectionism". It's great if you are proud of what you do. Better if you believe in what you do. But the one who wins the game of being visible online is the non-perfect, non-English speaker, creating content. I'm referring to me. As a child of an immigrant. The biggest benefit for me on a personal level is that I get to control my narrative. And I gained the confidence to be me. I found my life purpose. If I can do it. You can too. In this week's #StringTheory newsletter, I chat about a life lesson and practical tactics on how you can grow on LinkedIn. For yourself and for your business. There's a 20-minute video presentation to watch. Here's a CTA, can you do me a small favour...

5 creative ways to create ENGAGING LinkedIn posts... Need inspirations on how to create interesting and trigger engagement on your posts. Then check out the blog post (see link below). The key thing about engagement is not to trigger "views" but to think about how to encourage "conversations" and engage in commenting. Engagement = Amount of Interactions I find them many read comments too. Think of it as a thread of conversation that happens in a post. A good post triggers conversations. That's engagement.

I've had a couple of hours to process, I'm struck by how that many people can be in one place (in my case DC) without incident. Babies, kids, adults, teens, students, older people including those pushed in wheelchairs by (grand)daughters. People of all races, ethnicities, religions, customs. How is it even possible that more than a million people co-existed in a tight space w/o panic when the exit route was overcrowded.And nothing bad happened. A sea of people wanting more for their nation and for the world. Democracy. …see more

Great article about the “pains and inefficiencies” of a heavy meeting culture. Most people don’t like lots of meetings, and most of the meetings (especially large, nontarget ones) are quite ineffective. I hope every company attempts to adapt GE’s CEO’s recommendation regarding meetings: “little or no meetings where possible”. #meetings #meetingculture #companyculture …see more

Nudging patients to do things like taking medications does not work, as it turns out. So how do doctors and nurses partner with their patients to be more "compliant?" (Note: I do not care for this term since it is prerogative and connotes 'bad patient/good provider.') Why don't patients do 'what's in their best interest ?' Is it possible the down sides are not clear or are we humans only "wired" to deal with the "here and now..." come what may? Just as we are bad with dieting or exercise perhaps the same is true when it comes time to take our meds. Selected Excerpt: "A thorough review published in The New England Journal of Medicine about a decade ago estimated that up to two-thirds of medication-related hospital admissions in the United States were because of noncompliance, at a cost of about $100 billion a year. These included treatments for H.I.V., high blood pressure, mental health and childhood illnesses (it can be difficult to get children to take their medicine, too)." …see more

Artificial intelligence has been enjoying a boom in certain medical specialties and radiology always stands out. There is an interesting story in MIT Tech Review about what A.I. is capable of in imaging. Rizwan Malik, radiologist at the Royal Bolton Hospital, turned to A.I. to make his job easier. In his hospital, patients often had to wait six hours or more for a specialist to look at their x-rays. If an emergency room doctor could get an initial reading from an A.I.-based tool, it could dramatically shrink that wait time. A specialist could follow up the A.I. system’s reading later. So last year, Malik identified a promising A.I.-based chest x-ray system called qXR from Qure.ai and proposed to test the system over six months. As COVID-19 jumped into our lives, they also had to re-design the system that now is capable of identifying coronavirus-specific signs. Such a fast response and iteration is only possible in the case of A.I.-based medical technologies. This is why it's so crucial that the FDA, for example, started analyzing companies instead of individual algorithms for approval. Also, there are so many COVID-19 related ongoing A.I. projects in medical imaging, that Stanford started to curate many: https://lnkd.in/gE_rdhP #themedicalfuturist #AI …see more
