Here's a thread that's not preachy. It's informative.
"75% of consumer perceptions are influenced by simple shapes and colors."

A long thread, but worth the read... #brandidentity

Notice how logos recently all look the same?

Not because it makes them look better...

But because of THIS psychological trick that manipulates your brain.

That's why Google, Microsoft, and Airbnb are all doing it.

Here's the full explanation:🧵

This needs to be hyped!

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

One of the most important and overlooked trends of 2024:

Enhanced geothermal costs have fallen 50%.

This technology could provide 24/7 clean power all around the world. It could be one of the most important technologies of the 21st century.

But still completely overlooked.

@HarvardBiz Organizations interested in long term growth need to prioritize employee learning.

Plan, Assist, Monitor and Incentivize.

@annebibb @BuiltIn Yes, it's ok to fire a customer. This is especially true in B2B settings or where you have to continuously engage with the customer.

Such customers drain your team's energy. Let them go gracefully.

@curious_founder The cost is less than 1/10th of what it was in 2010... Thanks for sharing.

@richenergyceo True! Sports unfortunately is run by men in suits! And when you suits become your skin, money talks.

[Nitesh Verma @BMBlogHost]

@happyhenry Henry spreads Happiness! Always a pleasure to read and listen to his thoughts.

[Nitesh Verma @BMBlogHost]

@SteveGutzler Great! Never miss to show some love and gratitude to people who work behind the scenes.

They make us look good!

[Nitesh Verma @BMBlogHost]

It's increasingly difficult to find posts without an image, carousel, link or video on @X and @LinkedIn

I miss the old days... Can there be a filter where we could simply filter posts on our feed?

Sometimes, I prefer reading what people have to say without these distractions.

[Nitesh Verma @BMBlogHost]

@AdamMGrant @milanicreative Exactly! "Inaction is the recipe for regret".

Always take that shot. It's better to miss than regret later.

And do choose your own goals!

[Nitesh Verma @BMBlogHost]

Like all relationships, teams too function best when there's TRUST.

[Dave Bookbinder @dbookbinder]

What’s the secret to building high-performance teams? TRUST.

In the latest episode of Behind the Numbers, I sit down with George Dom, founder of the High Trust Leadership Network and former Navy fighter pilot with the Blue Angels.

PhD students — Do these 10 things in the first year of your PhD.

With this, 90% of your PhD problems will disappear.

𝟏. 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜: Many PhD students struggle to narrow down their research topic to a concrete research gap. Learn how to perform a gap analysis. Read more secondary studies. Make sure that you don't end up doing something that already exists.

𝟐. 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬: Understand how your supervisors work. If they expect something in a written form in each meeting, make sure to follow accordingly. Learn the best communication ways and clarify expectations.

𝟑. 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬: Certain skills and habits are quite common across all types of research. For example, how to read a research paper, how to be consistent, and how to do a literature review. Develop them as early as possible.

𝟒. 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫: This will really help you in the confirmation of your candidature if you have a paper published or at least submitted. Try to publish as soon as possible. If it happens, it will give a big boost to your confidence level.

𝟓. 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡: The early you understand the importance of your mental and physical health in your PhD, the better it is for you. Don't think that if you never exercised before, you don't need it in your PhD either. You do need it.

𝟔. 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬: Once your gap research a matured level, start identifying and following the most relevant researchers, conferences, and journals. This will help to be updated and understand the expectations.

𝟕. 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: Within 6 months or so into your PhD, start reflecting on what skills I am lacking. These skills could include networking, collaborations, presentation, and so on. Start developing them from there on.

𝟖. 𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡: Some students take too much teaching load right away. Don't do it. It will impact your PhD progress. Once your PhD path is laid out, then you can teach in the later years.

𝟗. 𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲: Some students start in a very relaxed way - oh I have a lot of time. Start it with a full swing as later you might not be as energetic as you might be at the start. The first year is the most crucial year. Start it well and your life will be easy later.

𝟏𝟎. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟: At the start, most of the PhD students are directionless - what to do, what's going on, days are passing by, and I am not doing anything. Learn how to find your way forward right from the start. Anything you'd like to add?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We learn more from reading on paper than on screens.

54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

In 1975, Kodak was the world's most powerful photo company, worth $31 Billion.

By 2012, they were completely bankrupt...

Not because of competition or technology - but because of ONE fatal decision…

Here's the biggest business mistake in history (and how to avoid it): 🧵
