An entirely new “management paradigm” for data is needed. As used here, a “management paradigm” embodies a common language, a holistic vision of the ways data should contribute, a clearly defined organizational structure showing how data integrates across the organization, along with clear roles and responsibilities for all involved. Eventually, it needs to incorporate corporate culture, relationships with universities and vendors, policy, and anything else that advances, or holds back the effec

In fewer than five years, the World Bank has cycled through three Presidents. Jim Yong Kim left the bank abruptly in 2019 (a move that necessitated Kristalina Georgieva to serve as acting President for two months); David Malpass didn’t finish his first five-year tenure and left in June, 2023; and now, Ajay Banga, the former CEO of Mastercard Inc., sits at the helm of the world’s most prominent development institution.

Treating everyone with respect is the foundation of good leadership. Employees who feel disrespected are more likely to also feel excluded or even inferior. The authors offer seven behaviors, based on their analysis of data collected from more than 4,500 employees, that lead to a demonstration and feeling of respect. These include valuing diversity, staying in touch with individuals’ issues and concerns, building trusted, resolving conflicts, balancing results with a concern for others, encourag

As leaders, one of the thing that we are expected to do is to communicate with the teams that we work with all the time. In many cases, our effectiveness as a leader may even depend on our ability to communicate. We might communicate to inform, inspire or influence. We need different strategies for different objectives. If we are communicating to inform, we need clarity in our communication.

Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

GUEST POST from David Burkus As long as people remain the center of organizations, attracting, retaining, and motivating those people—keeping them happy at work—will be one of the most important elements of a leader’s job.

Innovation is the lifeblood of any organization—be it a startup or a seasoned corporation. But with innovation comes risk, and with risk comes resistance. Innovation antibodies can be that internal or external roadblocks that see their role to protect the organization from risk. What they end up doing is meddling and stifling progress. To counter these threats, a novel approach has emerged: dark innovation.

Doing what you did last works well, right up until it doesn’t. When you put 100% effort into doing what you did last time and get 80% of the output of last time, it’s time to do something different next time. If it worked last time, but the environment or competition has changed, chances are it won’t work this time. You can never step in the same river twice, and it’s the same with best practices.

I'm sure the list of mistakes he made is quite lengthy. I'll just note three key lessons here in the immediate aftermath of his departure: 1. Giving a journalist seemingly unfettered access during your early days as CEO, and then being so loose with commentary and language during that time together, wa

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
