With AI productivity, your team is burning out
I’ve been working in the tech industry for over 20 years, and for about half that time I’ve been in a leadership role. I’ve always believed that to achieve good results, it’s essential to keep an eye on teams’ wellbeing because how people feel shows up in their work. People don’t always want to talk about what’s troubling them, so you need to spot it early when something’s gone wrong. I had a simple indicator: If someone started taking longer to get things done, I knew it was time for an unsc

Knowledge is what separates a good operation from a great one. It is also the hardest thing to scale, because the knowledge that matters most does not live in systems. It lives in people.

The analyst who understands why the model is wrong this time even when the numbers say otherwise. That knowledge compounds when it stays and disappears whe
