A bad leader lacks talent and skill, a destructive leader lacks character. Frank Sonnenberg. Leadership can be destructive. I mean this in the sense that poor, weak, or harmful leaders exist and can do great and lasting damage, not only to the organization but most importantly, to the people.

When you call customer service you want to know 2 things: (1) Does the person who picked up your call care about you and your issue? and (2) Are they capable of fixing it? You don’t have to be a customer service expert to know within 20 seconds whether the guy on the other end of the phone cares and is eager to help. When we work with customer service departments, empathy is always identified as a top MIT (Most Important Thing).

The world is full of people who call themselves leaders, but woefully short of Extreme Leaders. Perhaps you think that’s OK. Extreme Leaders, you might reason, are only needed for extreme circumstances – a soldier taking fellow troops into battle, a Sherpa guiding climbers up Mount Everest, or a quarterback directing a potential game-winning drive in the Super Bowl.

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.

What Is Your Company Culture Having for Breakfast? You’ve heard it said that “culture eats strategy for breakfast.” The snappy little maxim usually is attributed to the late, great management icon Peter Drucker, although you’d be hard pressed to prove it. Nevertheless, most leaders buy into this pearl of wisdom as a unique way of stressing the importance of culture over strategy.

Heshie Segal is my friend. I don’t mean that as a disclaimer, but as a prime example of what you’re about to learn from her. British anthropologist Robin Dunbar famously estimated that humans can maintain a social circle of no more than 150 people, with no more than five people in our “closest layer” of friends. For entrepreneurs who depend on networks of relationships , that might seem a bit discouraging, if not downright depressing.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

In a domain model, when you have a domain element that forms an algebraic abstraction honoring certain laws, you can get rid of many of your explicitly written unit tests just by checking the laws. Of course you have to squint hard and discover the lawful abstraction that hides behind your concrete domain element.
