Most companies are full of really busy people, which makes it hard to slow down and focus on trying new things. At the same time, stopping everything to focus on innovation can leave day-to-day tasks neglected. So, how can leaders make sure workers are able to balance operational necessities with innovation? Four strategies can help: 1) Clearing the “process debt” that’s blocking innovation time; 2) Subtracting something old before you add something new; 3) Putting innovation at the top of the l

Western society tends toward reductionism. We focus on our own particular area of expertise, learning subtle nuances largely invisible to those outside the field. As a result, we tend to overvalue developments within our realm of knowledge, while that which lies outside our immediate attention often seems less relevant. Yet the reality is that everything is connected.

In our busy lives, it’s hard to find enough time to pause and reflect. But if we never make the time, we may just end up running fast in the wrong direction — and this is especially true when it comes to our careers. That’s why, once a quarter, it’s useful to run through this three-step exercise, or do a “career detox.” The first step involves turning inward and asking yourself a series of reflective questions focused on whether you’re still happy with your current path.

The traditional approach to leadership is best described as the pursuit and maintenance of power over people. However, this isn’t the most effective method. The “leading through” paradigm engages middle managers and employees of all levels so that leadership is a collaborative effort which leaves everyone feeling valued, seen, and in turn, more motivated.

The core value of humanity is our ability to make choices about what matters to us. AI will have all manner of effects over the course of its development. Faced with this, it is important to ask a simple question: should we care about all of those effects? In short, the answer is no. But how do we get there? Let’s imagine that one of the effects of AI is that autocomplete functionality increases the usage of the letter “s” in English-language text and chat messaging by 8%.
