Food for thought for the Weekend (11-Nov-17)

Food for thought for the Weekend: My series where I present assorted collection of interesting blog posts, TED talks, podcast and articles I read/listened this week, some quotes that resonated with me, excerpts from my own reading.

What Steve Jobs taught Guy Kawasaki About Intelligence: Many times we feel changing the decisions we made might make us look foolish and tend to perpetuate the mistake. Guy Kawasaki (Apple Evangelist, and now a VC), shares that he learnt from Jobs that it actually is a sign of intelligence. Guy also argues that though it was very tough working with Jobs, it eventually made you better.

2. The Little Black Book of Stunning Success: Robinsharma, the author of the "Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" is giving away this gem of a book free. Grab it. (Registration is needed. Scroll the page one screen and you'd see the registration page to your left).

3. Men, Want to Fight Sexism at Work? Read Sheryll Sandberg's blunt adviceWell-intentioned men are often eager to know how they can be better allies. Sheryl has some advice. 

4. Masters of Scale: In this series of podcasts, Reid Hoffman (founder of LinkedIn) interviews industry giants specifically on how companies grow. Great resource if you want to hear directly from the horse's mouth.

Have a great weekend!
