Nearly 10 years ago, Bill James, a pioneer in sports analytics methodology, said if there’s one thing he wished more people understood about sabermetrics, pertaining to baseball, it’s that the data is not the point. The point is to use the data like a razor to cut through false convictions to find the truth. “The reason that understanding is so difficult to build in baseball is because there’s an entire industry of people selling nonsensical ideas about the data all the time,” James said at the

Possono essere riassunte con queste parole molte delle testimonianze dei CIO italiani sull’adozione del cloud computing. I manager della tecnologia sono molto realisti nel loro approccio alla “nuvola”, che spesso si declina caso per caso, anziché come una migrazione totale dall’IT ereditato (complessa e costosa).

Most people can spot a toxic leader and connect the dots on why and how they are causing damage. But it’s much harder to recognize when well-intentioned leaders are actually hurting their teams because they aren’t aware of their negative impact, and team members aren’t always comfortable pushing back. If you’re a manager with a strong desire to be helpful to your team, be aware of these five common ways you may inadvertently hurt them despite your best intentions.

Times of substantial tech progress and change, like the current AI revolution, create fear and anxiety.

Instead, leaders need to take on a beginner’s mindset of openness and curiosity. This is not easy.

When the subject of how to be a good listener comes up, psychologists often talk about the value of “perspective-taking” — that is, projecting ourselves into the lives of those we’re listening to. This has been shown to make us grow more generous and less prejudiced toward them, but it’s a flawed way to understand others, because it treats empathy as a solo sport, encouraging listeners simply to try to understand what someone else is going through.
