'It’s almost always easier to say yes than no–in the short run. Yes, it’s okay for you to treat me that way. Yes, I’ll stay late tonight and miss dinner again– after all my wife won’t say no. Yes, it’s okay skip my workout. Yes, your work is fine (even though it could be better.). A close second to expectation violations , the inability to say no is one of the top sources of intrapersonal and interpersonal conflict in organizations.

'By Bob Gourley. The FBI just posted the first official written articulation of why they believe North Korea is linked to the ongoing Sony Hack. As someone who has worked with FBI investigators in the past I have to tell you they do not go public like this unless they have evidence. It is true they have been wrong before, and it is a very American trait to be skeptical of government assessments.

Every time I started running the job, I kept hearing this subtle noise. I kept noticing the correlation for a few days but I was too intimidated to ask. Finally people starting cursing that their machines had gotten really slow lately and I realized we were running Hadoop on the developer’s desktop machi

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.

'Amy was dreading her performance review. She’d just be in the job a year, and her interactions with her imperfect boss were becoming more tense and intense with each passing month. The truth was, she questioned his approach to running the department, and he wasn’t listening to her ideas. She didn’t love his suggestions, and often reacted defensively to his feedback, making matters worse.

'George Santayana. I’m sure you’ve heard this famous quote many times: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” – George Santayana. Indeed, it’s a very powerful message about learning from the past. However, I would offer that this quote should be amended to truly reflect using history to a leader’s advantage: “Those who learn best from wisely selected amnesia are destined to greatness”.

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.

'By Bob Gourley. Recorded Future has launched a new free service for cyber defenders which I am finding valuable for situational awareness. This new cyber daily provides technical indicators and context around vulnerabilities making them more understandable and helping put them in context. My view is their report can be helpful to both security executives and more operational and tactical defenders since it can help both prioritize actions and discuss the need to mitigate specific concerns.

That''s actually the title of a new book that Naseer has co-authored with S. Max Brown. As Tanveer explains it in a recent conversation he had with me, leadership vertigo occurs when your brain tells you one thing and the facts tell you another.
