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.
All conversations are an opportunity to engage and persuade. We can improve relationships and everyday discussions by bringing in formal debate tactics or "productive disagreement", to our own lives, claims the author.
As a people manager for long, nothing is more painful to see smart people go down because of several misconceptions and undermining themselves. This is a great article to check, whether we have fallen into one of those. Good news is that the author has given some remedies too.
Technology enthusiasts will remember the furore Apple create when they said they'd not ship Adobe's Flash on their devices in favour of other technologies like HTML5. At that time time, perhaps 2008 or so, Steve penned this note to give Apple's point of view. Over the years I've read this post several times. It is written in a simple language and so persuasively puts out Apple's view while simultaneously rebutting the claims by Adobe and other pundits. Notice how easy it is for both techies and ordinary consumer to understand the arguments.
Though the article talks about these 11 books as an alternate to doing an MBA, I've read and most of them and they all are gems. Take a look.
