My husband looked at me in bewilderment as I explained why I couldn’t buy that “perfectly good” house in the neighborhood with the great schools, close to his work, UMD where I teach, BWI airport, our church, and our gym. “I love the house. It’s a great community. But I just can’t trust that builder. If they hire someone LIKE HER as their sales manager, I question who’s running the place.

The easiest way to be a 10x engineer is to make 10 other engineers 2x more efficient. Someone can be a 10x engineer if they do nothing for 364 days then convinces the team to change programming language to a 2x more productive language. A motivated 10x engineer in one team could be a demotivated 0.5x engineer in another team (and vice versa). A average 1x engineer could easily become a 5x engineer if surrounded by 10x engineers.

While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up. Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) aren’t built for modern data platforms and don’t work on modern architectures.

By Brody Clemmer. Chief Innovation Officer, N2Growth. Leadership is a hot topic today and will continue to be for a while. I don’t want to tell you the things that you already know, but make you think about the things you don’t. Let’s stop discussing trends, predictions, and statistics, and let’s focus on people.

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

It was a conversation that forever changed my vision of “ corporate leadership “, and put me on the more human path. It also taught me the immense value of an open heart and mind. The funny thing was, it wasn’t a chat with a boss, or a mentor, or a teacher that set me straight. It wasn’t a concerned friend or colleague who wanted to pass along helpful advice.

When I ask managers where they regret not spending enough time, unequivocally, the number one answer is “Not spending enough time developing my people.” There never seems to be enough time, or resources, or support from above, or fill in your favorite blank here _. And yet when I ask managers to identify one thing they KNOW would improve their results, you guessed it… the same answer, “If only I had more time to develop my people.” Perhaps you’ve felt that way

When we think of the term “Change Agent,” we typically think the word “agent” means catalyst: a force or substance that causes change. After all, we’re the ones who get things done, right? We instigate change and keep the energy going to see the change come to fruition. However, there’s an alternate definition of “agent” we should consider when talking about change agents: a representative.

When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital.

Bob Gourley. Shivon Zilis is an investor at Bloomberg Beta , a very interesting early stage venture capital fund. I knew I would like Bloomberg Beta when I saw how they do their website. It is smart and reflects very well on their leadership team: They decided to leverage GitHub for their site. Doing so puts them one step closer to the creators that a VC in their space needs to know and is a great way to step out in a trust-based relationship.

Leadership development is not just for grown-ups. If you’ve been with me for a while you know how passionate I am about this. Most of us take a deliberate approach to developing other skills in our kids early on: we teach them to swim, to ride a bike, to read, and read music, as early as we can. Leadership development should be no different. The earlier we can ingrain these skills, the more natural they will feel.
