Adam Neumann on why top-down management fails with great talent:

"Top to bottom means you think because someone reports in to you, they have to do what you say."

"But it's not true. This is not a dictatorship. They have free will."

"If you hired someone, they're really talented, they'll go work elsewhere. The more talented they are, the more the top to bottom does not work. They won't be willing to do it. They shouldn't."

"Great talent is not willing to be managed like this."

"If you're gonna manage these employees and you wanna attract the best talent in the world, remember that power comes from influence, not control."

"If you think they need to do what you said because you're their boss, you've already lost, and it's a matter of time till it doesn't work out. If they're okay with it... they're not the right employee for you, and you're not the right boss for them. There's no chance you're getting the best out of them."

@jamwt I put it in the kitchen counter for 6 months and read a few pages at a time over coffee.. it’s easier to digest that way

I co-founded Opendoor ($10B+ rev). Today, I’m launching Summation.

We raised $35M from Benchmark & Kleiner Perkins to build an AI analyst you can trust.

[Visit Half Moon Bay @VisitHMB]

Half Moon Bay isn't trying to impress you. It's a working coastal town — a harbor that still runs on fishing boats, a Main Street you can walk end to end, farms that sit right up against the ocean, and miles of open coast to walk slow.

[Notion @NotionHQ]

Yesterday, the neighborhood came together to celebrate The Notion Way, alongside SF Mayor @DanielLurie.

Thank you to @rtwlz, @theombl, and @_patrickhult for starting this project!

What was once a "Dirt Alley" is now painted with tapestry of community-submitted art.

Our very own @sarahmsachs was featured in @fastcompany’s first-ever "AI 20" list. From the profile:

“Notion’s AI has evolved from simple rewriting tools to retrieval-based Q&A and now to what she calls ‘governed AI teammates’ that operate with their own permissions and audit trails. When reasoning models improved enough to complete sequential tasks by themselves, her team rebuilt Notion’s entire AI architecture from scratch to take advantage.”

The Fast Company AI 20 list recognizes leaders from research, engineering, business, and policy helping AI diffuse into the economy. Congrats to everyone featured!

[Jamie Quint @jamiequint]

Notion is currently the best multiplayer AI platform and it's not particularly close. This includes anything Anthropic and OpenAI have built.
