When a +10% isn’t really a +10%. OK, this is an infuriating startup experience: You ship an experiment that’s +10% in your conversion funnel. Then your revenue/installs/whatever goes up by +10% right? Wrong :(. Turns out usually it goes up a little bit, or maybe not at all. Why is that? Let’s call this the “ Conservation of Intent.” The difference between high- and low-intent users.

The Westworld season finale made an interesting claim: humans are so simple and predictable they can be encoded by a 10,247-line algorithm. Small enough to fit in the pages of a thin virtual book.

The recruitment, interviewing, hiring, and on-boarding of even one new employee is a time-intensive process every manager takes seriously. It’s also one of the hardest skills for a new manager to learn, in part because — unless you’re working at a very fast-growing company — you typically don’t get a lot of practice with it.

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.
