    There is something very special about the best leaders, they teach their teams how to think. It’s not magic, you can learn how in my talk.

    Really important data for managers to consider in helping your teams learn, grow and innovate

    A giant study at Microsoft adds to the growing picture of the sudden shift to remote work: the problem is not with existing work & teams; it is the future of organizations. People stop creating new bonds & become more siloed. Bad for innovation & careers.

    The internet doesn't turn people into trolls. It just makes their trolling more visible. 8 studies, over 8k people: if you're an asshole online, you're probably an asshole in person too. Trolls choose aggression to get attention. It's better to ignore them than feed them.

    While I've got your attention, please consider purchasing a shirt & taking a stand: 100% of profits will be donated to nonprofits empowering Black women entrepreneurs & future investors. Tag somebody who needs this! 🙏🏿

    Everything seems simpler than it truly is, when you are not the one working on it. Everything seems more complex than it truly is, when you are the one working it.

    This is great advice for . 👇🏼

    People believe they think objectively - but we don’t. The brain takes in all environmental info, analyzes it against a lifetime of experience, and spits it out in half a second. The analysis isn’t clean - it’s overlayed with influence. Pause & challenge it often.

    There's gross misrepresentation then there's *gross* misrepresentation. 🤢 It takes a special kind of hubris to steal the origin story of the critical work (in service to veterans!) done by a group of women in government.🤮🤮🤮

    Wow. I know needs to sell services, but this is a gross misrepresentation of how Human Centered Design came to & evolved at VA. Huge stretch + countless omissions. I was there from the summer of 2013 - 2018. Let me give you the full story. 1/

    This is a great test. My version when I was a consultant was to ask what the strategy was and to see if I could get a clear, consistent answer without much thinking. A few times people laughed at the idea of strategic priorities. Not good

    Too many leaders think they have a strategy, but in reality they don't. A litmus test: When your team is making prioritization decisions with high/medium impact, how often does the discussion reference the strategy? If it happens rarely or never, you don't have a strategy.

    I’m just a blind girl, standing in front of tech twitter, asking you to describe images. That’s it. No demands, nothing unreasonable, just a request to tell us blind folks what is in your pictures so we can enjoy them too. (I’ll even show you how to do it 👇)

    An interesting look at how cities are evolving

    In some downtown business districts, 70%-80% of all real estate is dedicated to office space, according to an analysis using data.
