By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. This video applies to us all – especially those in leadership. I highly recommend watching this video as a recommencement of sorts – to being grounded in humility, reality, authenticity, and transparency. The reason people want to be led by you is not because your special, but because you understand you’re not.

Starbucker Graduates, 1982. Dear Business School Graduates of 1982: Congratulations! It’s graduation time, and I always get a bit nostalgic this time of year, remembering my good old days at college. For me, college was this cool utopia, where I had all the trappings of adulthood, but not quite all the responsibility that came with it. The professors tried to teach us as much as they could about business and #leadership, and in turn, I tried to absorb as much as I could.

Change Starts Here
JUNE 12, 2012
Quite often in the role of a change agent, a change-related issue must be brought to the attention of people higher-up on the organization chart. A decision must be made, funds approved, change communicated or behaviors adopted, among many ways leaders must become involved in the change. When you are implementing change from the middle of an organization, often there is more than one layer of hierarchy to navigate.

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.

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth .

As is often the case, I was the contrarian on the panel, and while I probably shouldn’t have been shocked, it was the fact most recruiters seemed to believe the status quo was fine, the future was bright, and they didn’t see the need for ch

Lead on Purpose
JUNE 9, 2012
By John Daily. Stepping up to the plate in a business or office setting takes more than knowledge of how to run the organization. To become an effective leader and direct a successful enterprise, heart, soul and intuition are key traits you should have. With passion, wisdom and drive, a leader can effectively direct a workforce and turn it from a simple office to a goldmine in an instant.

In my last post I discussed how women need to compete in the workplace in order to push past the almost invisible barriers that seem to exist. Having a competitive attitude is definitely the first step in winning because it says “I’m here and I’m ready to play”. It puts you at the starting block and gives you an understanding that yes you are in a competition for your job, for your raise, for your promotion, and for the success of your company in the marketplace.

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.

“ Do I go to the left or do I go to the right? ” A common question asked when one reaches an intersection. Unless one is familiar with the area or has a map, the question may be answered with a nagging ‘gut feel’ rather than with certainty. Sometimes proceeding on the chosen course results in a successful outcome. At other times, it requires backtracking and results in a great deal of frustration, lost time, and unnecessarily spent resources.
The Programmer's Paradox

One of the great lessons learned -- long ago -- was that making variables ‘global’ in programming code was just asking for trouble. It is of course, easier to write the code with globals; you just declare everything global then fiddle with it wherever you want. But that ease comes at the rather horrendous cost of trying to modify the code later. Get enough different sections of code playing with the same global and then suddenly it is very complicated to ascertain what any little changes to the
