The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write. In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text. The pen is mightier than the spoken word.

Hey leaders: If people aren't coming to the office, look in the mirror. They're not avoiding work. They’re avoiding toxic cultures, micromanagers, constant interruptions, and countless hours wasted commuting. If you want people to show up more often, make it worth the trip.

Heartwarming how many people donating supplies for refugees in Ukraine at this Amsterdam do drop off point. About 5 people/minute came. Our sleeping bags + supplies are all going to the Polish border tonight alongside hundreds (thousands?) other items. #SupportUkraine

Criticizing is fast and easy. Creating is slow and difficult. The two hours you spent on a book or movie usually took two years to produce. Anyone can tear down someone else's work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.

“One thing I’ve learned about tech startups: there are two types of CEOs. The “sales CEO” and the “engineer CEO”. The sooner you figure out which CEO your startup has (and you need to figure out: it’s rarely obvious), the better off you’ll be.” - from a startup veteran engineer

When people ask for your feedback, it's a mark of respect. They value your knowledge, skill, or taste. When they don't hesitate to give you feedback, it's a sign of trust. They have faith that you'll take it as an opportunity to grow, not a threat to your ego.

Dear managers: If you can’t keep your team engaged in virtual meetings, might it be time to rethink how you run your meetings? If you can’t trust people to be engaged when their cameras are off, might it be time to rethink your management style? Sincerely, Everyone with a Job

The irony of "soft skills" is that they're often the hardest to master. Leadership, communication, collaboration, creativity, and adaptability may not be technical, but they're increasingly vital. Behavioral, social, and emotional skills are what make humans indispensable.

Dismissing ideas that you dislike isn't critical thinking. It's confirmation bias. Critical thinking is approaching new information with a mix of curiosity and doubt. It starts with gauging the credibility of the source, the rigor of the logic, and the validity of the evidence.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. It's 2021. When will we stop punishing dominant women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Don’t confuse science with truth. Science is a systematic method of pursuing the truth. When scientists are wrong, it doesn’t invalidate the method. Science is the most rigorous process of discarding inaccurate ideas and moving toward accurate ideas. Trust the process.

Leader isn't a title to claim. It's a position of respect to earn. Leaders aren't always the first to take charge. They're the first to take responsibility. Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions. #FridayFeeling

Too many conversations end with people assuming they're on the same page, only to learn later that they weren't. "The greatest enemy of communication," William Whyte wrote, “is the illusion of it.” The meeting isn't over until you've asked everyone: what are the key takeaways?
