Benedict Evans at a16z recently tweeted the following: There’s so much truth in this tweet. And it resonates so much, I think it deserves a name: The Bad Product Fallacy. Your personal use cases and opinion are a shitty predictor of a product’s future success. I’ve been in the Bay Area for 10 years now , and nothing stings more than whiffing on the prediction of whether a product will be success.

Like most ways of being, introversion or extroversion ( properly, extraversion) is not absolute. Yet people tend to form an identity around this label, ostracizing the other for being too outgoing in the case of extroverts, or too quiet in the case of introverts. Introversion is also often confused with shyness, but shyness is just a fear of social judgement.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
