The first three months are critical in any workplace. Getting to know your coworkers, learning how everything’s done in the company, and establishing rapport with your bosses must all happen during that time.
If it doesn’t, there’s a high chance you won’t make it through the probation period (if there is one). Even if you do, you’ll have created an image of someone who shouldn’t really be trusted with important matters.
You don’t want that, do you? You want to be someone who’s an integral part of the workplace, someone who’s
important and dependable.
So how do you do that?
The document discusses the concept of effectuation entrepreneurship, which is a framework for entrepreneurial thinking developed by Saras Sarasvathy.

Some key principles of effectuation include using an affordable loss approach to evaluate opportunities, embracing uncertainty through flexibility, and building partnerships by leveraging who and what entrepreneurs know. Effectuation emphasizes control over predicting an uncertain future and believes the future is created rather than predicted.

Effectuation is a means-oriented approach where entrepreneurs leverage their own resources and form partnerships to create new ventures, viewing contingencies as opportunities.

The document provides brief advice and insights from Dawan's experience as an entrepreneur.
The document summarizes the author's first 100 days at their first job out of business school working as an investment banking M&A analyst at JPMorgan in New York City. Some of the key responsibilities included providing financial advisory services and creating financial models for valuation analysis. The biggest lessons learned were that great leaders welcome criticism and feedback rather than only wanting to hear agreement. The worst mistake made was overestimating the importance of quantitative analysis over qualitative factors in decision making. Work-life balance was challenging with 80-85 hour work weeks but was managed by making Fridays for exploring New York and spending time with friends.
The document summarizes the theory of effectuation as proposed by Saras Sarasvathy. It outlines five principles of effectuation: (1) starting with the means available rather than predefined goals, (2) focusing on affordable loss by limiting downside risks, (3) leveraging unexpected contingencies by viewing surprises as opportunities, (4) building partnerships through pre-commitments to reduce uncertainty, and (5) maintaining control over outcomes rather than predicting an uncertain future. The theory is based on research analyzing the decision-making processes of expert entrepreneurs.
This document discusses entrepreneurship and what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. It covers topics such as who entrepreneurs are, the importance of having a great idea, the personal traits needed like commitment and risk tolerance. It also discusses common management challenges, how to increase chances of success through opportunity analysis and business plans, and key factors like the people, opportunity, competition and risk/reward. Non-financial resources and entrepreneurial orientation are also summarized.
The document outlines 5 principles of Effectuation: 1) Start taking action based on your current means rather than waiting for the perfect opportunity. 2) Evaluate opportunities based on acceptable downside rather than attractive upside. 3) Form partnerships with committed organizations to jointly create the future rather than focus on competition. 4) Embrace surprises and remain flexible instead of sticking to goals. 5) Focus on activities within your control to achieve desired outcomes rather than trying to predict the future. Overall, the principles advocate a worldview where the future is made rather than found or predicted.
The document summarizes the five principles of effectuation used in entrepreneurial thinking: 1) Bird in hand - leverage existing means and resources, 2) Affordable loss - assess downside risks, 3) Lemonade - leverage unexpected opportunities, 4) Crazy quilt - build partner networks to co-create outcomes, and 5) Pilot in the plane - focus on actions that directly influence outcomes. It discusses each principle and questions whether entrepreneurs can accurately estimate risks and opportunities or if more caution is needed in new ventures given high failure rates.
The document summarizes key learnings from interviews with executives from innovative companies like Google, Philips, and Diageo about how to foster innovation. Some of the main points are: most successful innovations come from exploring small ideas rather than focusing on big ideas; innovative companies encourage innovation from all employees, not just those in certain roles; transformational innovators focus first on creating a great product rather than making a strong business case; innovation takes 3-5 years to gain traction in markets and requires significant time, resources, and determination; and innovative companies make trying new things the default rather than waiting or striving for perfection.
When dealing with complexity you have to be aware of that cause and effect can only be deduced in retrospect. With this in mind, success or failure, is not completely in our hands when we are developing complex products. What is in our hands is the commitment we show, the ownership we take, and the effort we put in. That is what we should celebrate.

Creating your professional development plan 3 surprising truthsEmmanuel Leslie Addae
This document discusses three surprising truths about creating an effective professional development plan (PDP). The first truth is that developing your skills is your own responsibility, not your employer's. Second, a PDP should be regularly revised as goals and circumstances change over time. Third, professional development and skill-building is an ongoing process, so a PDP is never truly complete and should be used throughout your career. The document provides examples and advice for creating a meaningful PDP to facilitate career growth.

Jon Cohn Exton PA - Knowledge management in software architectureJon Cohn
The document discusses different views on architectural knowledge that emerged from a literature review. It identifies four primary views: pattern-centric, which sees architectural knowledge as reusable patterns; dynamism-centric, which advocates more formal representations for dynamic systems; requirements-centric, which examines linking requirements to architecture; and decision-centric, which views architectural knowledge as the design decisions and rationales behind architectural results. The document argues that design decisions can help link these different views, as decisions represent the reasoning that produces architectures from patterns, requirements, and other concerns.

Evaluation of the role of energy storages in Europe with TIMES PanEUIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes the results of scenario analyses conducted using the TIMES PanEU energy system model and ESTMAP storage database to evaluate the role of energy storage in Europe. The analyses found that increased electricity demand and electrification of the energy system are needed to meet EU GHG reduction targets. Additional electricity storage capacity investments from 2030 onward are also needed to integrate more variable renewable energy from wind and solar. First investments are in diabatic CAES and battery storage, shifting later to pump storage and adiabatic CAES as costs decrease. Energy storage, along with other flexibility options, helps reduce GHG emissions compared to scenarios relying more on natural gas storage.

Managing expectations is critical for business leaders and entrepreneurs.

When managing others' expectations, provide accurate information along with the risks and context so people understand the challenges. Examples show the consequences of overpromising or mismanaging expectations, like disappointing investors or losing key hires. Properly setting expectations sets the stage for addressing inevitable challenges without surprises.
Mel feller illustrates the steps needed to start your business by mel fellerMel Feller
Mel Feller knows that business coaching is a process used to take a business from where it is now to where the business owner wants it to be. A business coach will assist and guide the business owner in growing their business by helping them clarify the vision of their business and how it fits in with their personal goals. Fitting the business vision in with the business owner’s personal goals is a step that is missed by most business coaches, who often only focus on the business goals. In so doing, they are omitting the goals of the business owner altogether. A great business owner seeks to understand why reaching business growth goals is important to them personally, and the impact it will have on their life. After all, the business owner ultimately determines the speed and passion in which the goal is met (if ever), and if it is not linked to the business owner’s personal dreams, goals and plans for themselves, there is no burning reason why getting to that business goal is critical. Mel Feller has created this guide to take you by systematically through how you can start a business. It covers every conceivable thing you could want to know when setting up a business, including:
Most entrepreneurs fail for several common reasons: (1) Trying to do everything alone instead of sharing work, (2) Running a business only part-time instead of full-time, and (3) Lacking a clear business plan and revenue model. Other reasons include unrealistic expectations of help from others, poor networking skills, ego that prevents listening to advice, and not recognizing the importance of employees. To succeed, entrepreneurs must avoid these pitfalls and focus on building a sustainable business model.
