Perhaps the most significant epic journey of modern times is not found in literature, but in the real-time voyage of man into space — mankind walking on the moon and seeing “spaceship earth” floating against the black backdrop of the universe, and bringing that extraordinary shift of perspective back to the planet. Edgar Mitchell, a member of the 1971 Apollo XIV crew, is one of those rare people who had the privilege of walking on the moon’s surface, and I once interviewed Edgar about his experi

When you run a platform on scale, you have to make sure it’s truly open. That way, not only do you do well, so do others.

By now you may have seen those absolutely terrifying online videos of robotic humanoids opening doors, running at Usain Bolt like speeds, jumping over obstacles, and getting up on their own after mean humans repeatedly knock them down.

You often hear discussions about cultural fit among people on recruitment and selection committees, as well as by people working for executive search firms. Recently, though, Adam Grant of the Wharton School has made an important point about the downside of hiring for cultural fit, and he's received a great deal of attention for his thought-provoking and insightful comments.
