I’ve written several times about one of my favorite leadership lessons, “A Short Course in Human Relations” (click on image at left for a PDF of the slide). Today my thoughts are focused on one part of that lesson, the “6 most important words”, triggered by the recent firing of Groupon CEO Andrew Mason. “I admit, I made a mistake” Mason publicly admitted his failure when he published his resignation note on Twitter ( and also threw in, for good measure

News Flash – innovation, growth and development cannot occur by pretending we live in a world that has long since passed us by. Leading in the 21st Century affords no safe haven for 20th Century thinkers. Old, static, institutionalized thinking will gate the pace of forward progress faster than just about anything. If you want to expose yourself as an out of touch, dated leader, keep trying to address today’s issues and opportunities with yesterday’s thinking.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Just how big is the business gender gap? It’s not breaking news that women are offered fewer opportunities to advance into leadership roles in the business world.

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.

There is no greater demonstration of the impact that businesses have on cities and regions than what has been occurring in the Midwestern Unites States. The closing of factories and the loss of middle income jobs has led to a steady outward migration of residents of which the biggest gainers have been southern states like Florida, Texas, and my current state of residence Tennessee.

As an entrepreneur I can’t lie it seems like we have a lot of perks. We think that it’s great because we make our own schedules, we don’t have to answer to anybody and we can set our own fees but let’s be realistic here. The truth is we have none of those things. We do answer to someone, they are called clients and they determine if we will be around to answer to anyone else.

In case of my 7 year old daughter, all significant behavioral and habit changes have been a result of “face time” – time spent one to one to inspire, inform and involve her. Face time is an oasis of meaningful conversation amidst the hustle and bustle of life – a place where positive difference and lasting change happens. This sounds simple, but in an organizational context, the hustle and bustle can be far more toxic, keeping leaders away from having face time with their people.

The research surveyed 4,100 professionals in 33 countries, and found that work-life-balance is the number one indicator of career success (56%) above money (46%), recognition (42%), and autonomy (42%).

A language is powerful when it offers sufficient building blocks for library design and adequate syntactic sugar that helps build expressive syntax on top of the lower level APIs that the library publishes.

Passwords have been the de facto manner of providing security for IT systems. They’ve got a bad reputation, but it’s not the passwords themselves that deserve the reputation – it’s the individuals using them and the weak standards to which these passwords are managed. In fact, a password system implemented in a secure manner – long and complex passwords that change periodically – can be (virtually) uncrackable.
