Dear Designer,

You say you are an empathetic designer.

You say that you care, listen and observe users in order to gain a better understanding of their needs, preferences, and challenges.

OK. Well done! 

Let me tell you though; You failed as an empathetic designer! 

You didn’t show the same empathy to your team that you build the product with for the user you cared so much!

Your developer friend didn’t deliver the implementation as you designed.
You blamed her for doing bad work instead of asking if she was okay. If she was going through a difficult period in her life! If you could help!

Your manager gave you an unreasonable deadline with an attitude.
You argued and rushed your design work while cursing him inwardly instead of asking why he was stressed. If he was under pressure from his boss! If you could help!

You say you are an empathetic designer, because you care for your users. 

F*** that!

First, care for your team!

First, show empathy for your colleagues!

Then, only then can you truly call yourself an empathetic designer and human being.

People with a surplus of confidence and a shortage of character never fail to disappoint.

Leadership skill is inversely related to the size and fragility of the ego.

Humility, generosity, and honor are underrated virtues. The most principled person is the best poised to serve.

@jcuene No schedule yet. 1st Hacking behaviors that kept breaking schedule. Eg ID times when I’m most creative and accept I’ll write then even if inconvenient: after workouts, after going to bed at night. & Got tools super efficient. regularity is next :). Schedule is mainly 4 big “push”

More capital decreases the chances of startup / corporate venture success:

When you have the money you’re at risk of *building something nobody wants*. You don’t need to show evidence to get more funding.

Cases: Quibi, Better Place, FLO TV, Google Glass, Tata Nano…

There’s this myth that entrepreneurship & innovation is about the big idea & the creative genius.

It’s really mainly about the process & suffering of adapting your idea until you get it right!

Yesterday, we were disappointed to learn that @thenorthface and @LeoBurnett unethically manipulated Wikipedia. They have risked your trust in our mission for a short-lived consumer stunt. 1/ https://t.co/aIl5XEkS3z

At @betadotmn showcase, impressed by #SiliconPrairie startups. >$200M raised by “their” startups to date. Great work!
