We all eventually pay the price for thinking with our head instead of our heart.

Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience.

Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero.

Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.

[Daniel Yudkin @dyudkin]

My coauthors @rystoli @NeilLewisJr and I have an article out today in @TrendsCognSci about an unexplored aspect of the relationship between academia and private industry, and its implications for diversity in psychological science.

It *sounds* so obvious that this is what leaders should do: Help people feel purposeful, motivated, and energised so they can bring their best selves to work. What makes it rare is that it involves giving up control and power. Many leaders love it too much to give it away.

In hiring, it might be time to get rid of experience requirements.

Data: past experience rarely predicts future performance. What matters is past performance—and current motivation and ability.

It's how well people can learn to do a job, not how long they've already done it.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

At the start of a decision, intuition is unreliable. The patterns you've detected in the past might not apply to the present.

After you've weighed the decision, intuition becomes useful. It adds valuable information that your analysis might have missed.

More evidence that programming should be taught in schools:

When kids learn to code, they don't just get better at computer skills. They also show gains in cognitive ability, math, creativity, and reasoning.

Intelligence is more than what you know. It's also how you think.

[Amy Edmondson @AmyCEdmondson]

Why this is bad advice is this: Individuals can often spot problems, but solutions often require team input from diverse departments or experts

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When failure is caused by deviance or negligence, it's a performance problem to manage.

When failure is the result of an experiment to explore an idea or test a hypothesis, it's a learning opportunity to reward.

Bugün dünyanın dört bir yanında müthiş işler yapan bilim insanlarımız var. Ülkeye demokrasi gelse üniversiteler özerk olsa en az yarısı geri döner. İşte o zaman görün siz aydınlığı.

[Erhan Erkut @ErhanErkut]

Bir üniversiteyi ilk 100’e rektörü sokamaz. Ancak ve ancak hocaları sokabilir. Böyle hedefler de vakumda konulamaz. Ünivde enine boyuna tartışılması gerekir. Bakalım üniv mensupları bu hedef üzerinde birleşiyorlar mı? Bunu teyit etmeden konuşmak doğru mu?

Sanat eseri özelinde farklı düşünsek de öğrencilerin kimlikleri üzerinden şeytanlaştırılmasını ve tutuklanmasını kabul etmiyoruz.

I was going to post this next week but the news cycle suggests otherwise. Here is "What is Juneteenth?", my most widely read @Forbes column in 2018. It relates to #blacklivesmatter, #race, #diversity and #bias conversations happening now. #juneteenth

Demographically underrepresented students innovate at higher rates than majority students, but their novel contributions are discounted and less likely to earn them academic positions. In PNAS: https://t.co/OCyzSkNOEh
