A very important reminder come to my inbox this week from Victor Cheng - ex McKinsey consulting guru who was one of the first one who made a successful business out of the preparation for a job in consulting with his project and book about case interviews 🗣 .. In our society full of information overload and misleading data pieces it is crucial to understand the difference between a fact and an opinion.❗️A fact is something that is verifiably true.❗️An opinion is something you think is or might be true, your hypotheses .. Being able to distinguish between facts and opinions is a useful skill for aspiring executives and all interested to improve their decision-making.The first skill is being clear on whether what you’re thinking, saying, or feeling is a fact or an opinion ☝️ The second skill is being able to see clearly when people portray their opinions as facts, so you can see it for what it really is... an opinion 🗣 .. #cheng #victorcheng #consulting #case #caseinterview #management #managementconsulting #facts #opinions #decisions #decisionmaking #analysts #business #businessanalysts #lead #leader #leaders #leadership #thinking

In Peter Thiel’s book 📖 , Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future, he shares his favourite question to ask people during the interviews: “What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”. . This question sounds easy, but actually, it’s very hard to answer as it is intellectually testing at the same time critical thinking, creativity and courage☝️The most common answers, according to Thiel, are about the educational system, importance of political power of one country or religion. All of these are bad answers as either many people already agree with them or they just take one side in a familiar debate 🤔 . Good well-thought answer to this question lies deep within your beliefs and therefore ideally it would be a good starting idea for your next startup, project or movement or life mission. Let’s think about it 🤔. . #thiel #peterthiel #book #books #startup #startups #read #reading #peterthielquestion #mustread #business #ideas #selfawareness #interview #interviewing #interviewquestion

In USA alone organisations host 55 mln of meetings per day 😱 According to research, 30-40% of hours spent in meetings are not productive 🙈: 73% of people admit doing other work during the meetings and 65% of managers believe that meetings keep them from real work and deep thinking 🤔 . . Steven Rogelberg has spent decades researching workplace meetings and he wrote 📖“The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance" and the HBR article "Why Your Meetings Stink -- And What To Do About It” . ♥️ See some of his tips in the post and for more info check “ Why meetings go wrong “by HBR ideacast . . #meeting #meetings #business #businessmeetings #productivity #manager #management #hbr #hbrideacast #harvard #productive #lead #leadership #leader #leaders #startups

Just finished the book «Future politics” by Jamie Susskind and it is a definite must: .. ▪️the author has a very complete and well-rounded understanding of different disciplines, which makes it easy for him to connect the dots and see a big picture: he cites Platon and Aristotele, discusses ideas of Marx and Smitt, gives some high-tech startup examples using Silicon Valley jargon, all this supported by law and legal terms and definitions.. and this combination does not feel weird at all 🤩 .. ▪️the book is very futuristic and for sure it will reasonate a lot to the Harari audience especially those who want to go extra mile and understand what we should do as a citizen/ government / country / society with all these challenges .. ▪️key concepts discussed in the book are redefining what is power and how it can be gained and realised; changing role of the government, citizens and democracy in the context of tech revolution . #future #futurism #politics #futurepolitics #susskind #jamiesusskind #futureofwork #tech #technology #harari #book #books #reading #homodeus #business #startup #tradingstrategy
