Working with small samples? Using a case(s) to explain a phenomenon?

You should read this article: Eye-opener and feather-ruffler!!!

"On the scientific study of small samples: Challenges confronting quantitative and qualitative methodologies"

Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. As for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. V/@StreetsblogUSA https://t.co/vTLLMEQiYe

"What follows is our obituary for the concept of generations."

Millennials, Gen Z, Gen X... all garbage labels without validity. They don't help us predict how people work or act, and they hurt our understanding of people change over time. via @rskudesia https://t.co/PCLtibwsFl

There are just six basic emotional arcs for all stories:
1. Rags to Riches (rise)
2. Riches to Rags (fall)
3. Man in a Hole (fall rise)
4. Icarus (rise fall)
5. Cinderella (rise fall rise)
6. Oedipus (fall rise fall)

You can visualize arcs of novels here: https://t.co/rEeqyz6QE1

Promocja #DisneyPlusPL i to jak została przeprowadzona to piękny case study tego jak nie robić UX. 1) Brak potwierdzenia email rejestracji - zamiast tego info, że mejl przyjdzie 13.06. 2) "Ale czy napewno?" Myśli user. 3) Otóż nie. Nie przyjdzie. 14.06 też nie. Promocji nie ma.

Returning all WFH employees to the office 5-days-a week looks almost impossible

- Firms pushing 5 day returns see <50% compliance
- Firms pushing 4 days or less see >80% compliance

Firms should aim for something moderate and succeed, rather than aim for a 5-day return and fail

Being a good entrepreneur can hurt your chances at other jobs.

Corporate recruiters avoid hiring good founders; worrying that they won’t fit in. Non-founders got callbacks 24% of the time, failed founders 16% of the time, & successful founders just 11%! https://t.co/P7gjxidtTL

One reason why people may choose to remain ignorant is to make it easier to enact their intuitive preference, when freely available relevant information might encourage a more deliberative decision, study by @Kaitlin_Woolley et al finds: https://t.co/jpIuE5EMmr HT @GordPennycook

One big UX request for conference organizers as we move back to face-to-face conferences: make the first names LARGE on the name tags.

@AlexOsterwalder Meaningfulness of work.

[Constantinos Coutifaris @coutifaris]

Question: Do organizational cultures require some pruning to grow and prosper?

Evidence: Communicating 5 or more cultural values to employees obscures what the organization stands for, whereas 4 or less illuminates it.

Conclusion: Less may be more when it comes to culture too.

Nature experimental paper finds in person meetings raises innovation by about 15%

Randomized Control Trial paper finds WFH 2 days a week reduces employee quits by 35%

Hybrid #WFH can deliver both
3 office days for better innovation
2 home days for better employee retention

Thank you @HarvardBiz Idea Watch for featuring our research on how leaders can create #psychologicalsafety in #teams!

Leaders sharing their own prior negative feedback with team members—rather than seeking new feedback—achieved lasting improvements in team psychological safety.

A strong culture (=norms widely shared/strongly sanctioned) is a form of bureaucracy. It mostly rewards conformity & stability.

A subculture is a form of bureaucratic gray zone (=pockets extending discretion). It offers adaptability without often weakening stability. @TessSLea

Coffee is a mind-enhancing drug that actually works!

A randomized, placebo-controlled, between-subject, double-blind study shows the caffeine equivalent of one cup of ☕️ increases problem-solving ability, especially for problems requiring insight. https://t.co/5ngeGziTBl

@doodletweet Is there a way of scheduling group polls with time slots <30 mins? Also, can I do it in other views than the calendar? Both of these were available in the previous version.
