New Yorkers are packing up and moving to Miami — and driving locals out of the city. (via @DeborahAcosta for @WSJ)

Hey There!

We are not very good at picking our leaders. This paper confirms the “Babble Hypothesis” - whoever talks the most in a group is most likely to be made leader, no matter what they actually say or their actual knowledge. The effect works for men & women, but it is weaker for women.

You are not too old to launch a startup. In fact, older founders consistently outperform:
1) In the US, the median age for launching a 1-in-1000 fastest growing company is 45 & the average age of founders is 42
2) Worldwide, research shows older founders outperform younger ones

The CDC announced that they are no longer recommending that fully vaccinated people need to wear masks.

When feedback isn’t helpful, try asking for advice.

New experiments: requests for advice elicit more constructive input than requests for feedback.

Feedback tends to focus on how well you did in the past. Advice shifts attention to how you can do better in the future.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people hesitate to give honest feedback on an idea, draft, or performance, I ask for a 0-10 score.

No one ever says 10. Then I ask how I can get closer to a 10.

It motivates them to start coaching me—and motivates me to be coachable. I want to learn how to close the gap.

Success is the quality of our lives, not just the quantity of our achievements.

Saying "I don't know" doesn't reveal ignorance or insecurity. It reflects confident humility.

Insecurity drives us to pretend we have the answers. Confident humility gives us the courage to ask questions.

You can't learn if you can't admit you have something to learn.

Women's qualifications are less likely to be mentioned by men.

Study of 300+ intros of MD/PhD presenters:

Men introduced 72% of men as Dr. but only 49% of women as Dr.
Women introduced speakers as Dr. regardless of gender.

Respecting women shouldn't be this hard. #DrJillBiden

Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Her name is Dr. Jill Biden. Get used to it.

[Scott Galloway @profgalloway]

"Men engaged in substantially more self-promotion than women (30%)... despite the fact that men and women performed equally well on the test."

1. Keep this in mind in performance reviews (women tend to be quieter)
2. Women, be loud

A mark of emotional intelligence: treating unpleasant feelings not as unwelcome intrusions but as teachable moments.

Regret is a seminar on making wiser choices. Guilt is a class on doing the right thing. Boredom is a course on finding flow. Anxiety is a tutorial on preparation.
