Don’t buy into the 20-hours-a-day entrepreneur myth. You need to sleep 8 hours a day to have a focused mind.

The bad news: The economy is screwed. The good news: You can make money off of it because although the “economy” is screwed up, innovation is here to stay. Here's a list of trends that are coming in the next 50 years (and stocks to keeps your eye on) http://bit.ly/2r0AgXh …see more

We live in a world that is increasingly polarized. Reality, however, is a lot more grey than that, which can make us feel uncomfortable. That’s why I wanted to talk to author, entrepreneur and activist Jenna Arnold about how we can learn to accept and manage the grey. Listen to A Bit of Optimism at apple.co/simonsinek …see more

Jack Welch inspired many leaders in my generation. He was named "manager of the century" for reshaping #GE with his blunt yet effective management style. As a #leader , he also became increasingly focused on people development over his illustrious career and this short clip serves as a great example of his #legacy . May he rest in peace. #RIP …see more

Small or large organisations have a lot to take away from the leadership style of Satya Nadella . Setting direction and inspiring everyone to get on the same page is one of the key responsibilities of any leader. At scale, it is even harder and he has managed to do just that and made Microsoft the most valuable company in the world. I feel this is his distinctive quality. I have come to deeply #Respect him. #Leadership …see more

This 100% recession signal from Bloomberg Economics shouldn't come as any surprise given the sudden top to the economy. What remains uncertain -- and is consequential -- is the depth and duration of this recession. Economic and market consensus on this seems more optimistic than various indications of corporate and household expectations. More to follow. #economy #bonds #recession #interestrates #markets #equities #investmentmanagement …see more

Did you know? 46% of candidates in the hiring process would check the bathroom at least once. Most of them will continue the process if it's fully stacked. Dan Ariely suggested coffee quality as a predictor of the companies success. Agencies and candidates suggest bathroom measurement is the predictor of success. What do you think? coffee or bathroom?

‪Economics according to Norm Peterson of Cheers. (I particularly like the “ah, macroeconomics” line.)‬

I’ve made and lost millions several times. I didn’t do it just once, which might be luck or it might not be. I can tell you in each case how I went from scratch to millions. And I’ve interviewed hundreds of people who have made and lost millions and gone on to achieve peak performance in their lives. But I’m going to stick to my own story. Specifically: four times I started from $0 and made millions... http://bit.ly/2u1616A …see more

Here is a little challenge. Take a note of the next 20 ads you are served on your laptop/desktop and your phone. Is this really the best we can do? Terrible targeting, stupid retargeting, creative that's not been worth a human approving. Click on an ad and see what happens? It's like nobody expected you do to it. Look at the horror that is "you may also like" AdTech is close to a $100bn industry that seems to have entirely failed to work for anyone except itself. It would be great if we rethink many of the principles of advertising today. To be more ambitious. To be more respectful of peoples attention. To be empathetic. To be helpful. To look like we cared and thought through and crafted what we do. Is that so hard? …see more

I learned the key is to be “the Boss-Whisperer”. You have to train your boss. They are very trainable. In fact, they want to be trained by you. It makes their lives easier. They no longer have to think when you are around. Because you have trained them what to think. I transformed myself into… the Boss Whisperer:  http://bit.ly/2z5evK1 …see more
