The document discusses different "energy vampires" that can drain your enthusiasm at work as described in an article. It identifies six types of energy vampires: the sob sister with constant complaints, the drama queen who exaggerates small issues, the constant talker who dominates conversations, the fixer-upper who demands you solve all their problems, the blamer who makes you feel guilty, and the vindictive person who tries to cut you down. It provides tips on how to protect your energy by limiting time with complainers, not getting drawn into dramatics, interrupting overbearing talkers, setting boundaries on fixing problems, using visualization to not take criticism personally, and not internalizing meanness from vindict

Why Good businesses fail?
This document discusses why good businesses can fail due to people-related issues. It argues that while management can control products, processes, and pricing (the three Ps), people are more difficult to manage. Representatives occupying high positions sometimes lack the ability to deal with people issues effectively. They may pit people against each other, criticize others behind their backs, and undermine middle management. As a result, good performance can suffer. The document suggests that either representatives need to change their behavior, or management must change the representatives for the business to succeed. However, confronting representatives directly about needed changes is difficult. Ultimately, more "daredevils" willing to speak up may be needed to improve people management and ensure good businesses do not fail.
Leadership
The document discusses how gutsy leadership can transform a workplace by taking bold risks, embracing change, and fully engaging employees. It argues that gutsy leaders blow up old rules, motivate people through passion rather than fear, and create a fun culture where people work at full throttle. Such leadership builds a world-class culture that attracts and retains top talent, inspires people to feel like owners, and defines work as a heroic cause.
Impossible Vs Unusual
The document discusses how established organizations can get stuck operating within existing paradigms and assumptions, similar to the character Wile E. Coyote in the Roadrunner cartoons. It suggests organizations need more "roadrunner thinking" by questioning assumptions and trying new approaches. Some ways to shift paradigms mentioned include starting with the desired end instead of existing processes, changing the frame of reference, doing the opposite of the obvious, and finding people who don't know the existing paradigms. Breaking paradigms in organizational, market, and industry assumptions can enable major growth for established companies.
Managing Recruitment Price
The document outlines the steps in a strategic planning process, including performing an environmental analysis, setting objectives, identifying alternative strategies and threats/opportunities, preparing forecasts, selecting a strategy portfolio, creating an action plan, and monitoring progress. It then provides questions for self-evaluation related to career goals, values, qualifications, and performance standards. The document encourages continuous self-improvement and advises treating others with respect.
Inside board rooms
The board room is a place of complex group dynamics that are difficult for outsiders to understand fully. Many factors beyond business fundamentals, such as moods, personalities, and relationships influence discussions and decision making. Public company boards face particular challenges due to their diversity of members appointed by the government rather than company executives. For boards to be effective, directors must actively engage in deliberations and ask challenging questions rather than simply agreeing with management. Dissenting views are a sign of a functional board.
To build lasting instituitons..
Olorgesailie, located in Kenya, was the site of the earliest and longest-running manufacturing activity for stone tools, lasting approximately 1 million years. Tools were made in large quantities and specific areas were designated for tool production and sharpening. This organized site functioned as an early factory for over a million years, demonstrating the ability of early humans to establish long-lasting institutions. Religions and cultural practices like music traditions have endured for thousands of years, while modern institutions in India such as government organizations and universities are relatively new, only a few hundred years old. For companies to truly qualify as institutions, they must not only have existed for a long period of time but also continue making an impact in the future

5 S In Personal Management
The document discusses the "Five S Principle" as it applies to personal management. The Five S Principle originated in Japan as a way to enhance work environments through sorting, systematizing, spic-and-span cleaning, standardizing, and self-discipline. When applied to personal management, the Five S Principle involves sorting possessions into needed vs unneeded categories, creating an organized storage system, maintaining cleanliness through regular cleaning, standardizing processes through schedules and indexes, and developing self-discipline to sustain the system. Implementing the Five S Principle can help individuals devote more time and energy to achieving results through an organized, high-quality approach to personal management.
Fundamentals Of Success
The document outlines six fundamentals of success which are: 1) Add value, know your industry and customers, and have a plan; 2) Communicate effectively up, down, inside and out of your organization; 3) Know how to deliver results and be accountable; 4) Conduct business with integrity and respect; 5) Invest in relationships with your team to gain loyalty and productivity; 6) Gain perspective on your goals and limitations. Following these fundamentals can help individuals and organizations achieve success.
Create Impact
First, constantly look for ways to improve performance and don't get stuck only seeing the same horizons. Second, be a constructive critic by looking for what's missing and hasn't been done yet. Third, have empathy for others, believe in their success, and help each other rather than just helping yourself. Fourth, communicate complex ideas in simple language so others can understand. Research at business schools should imagine new ways organizations could work and help them get there, rather than just observing best practices. For organizations to stay resilient, they must challenge themselves cognitively, strategically, politically, and ideologically to continuously renew themselves and seize new opportunities rather than just optimizing outdated models. We need managers with courage and vision to
Dont Measure Success With Designations
This document discusses several aspects of management that are crucial but often not taught thoroughly in business schools (B-schools). It notes that while B-schools teach management theories, they may overlook practical implementation and qualities like humility, self-awareness, and common sense. The document suggests B-schools could better prepare students by introducing courses on profitability, attracting and retaining talent, and developing leadership humility. It also stresses the importance of considering both success and failure as learning experiences.
Gutsy Leadership
The document discusses how gutsy leadership can transform a workplace by taking bold risks, embracing change, and fully engaging employees. It argues that gutsy leaders blow up old rules, motivate people through trust and fun rather than fear, and inspire employees to work at full throttle. Such leadership can create a world-class culture that attracts and retains top talent by putting people first and fostering collaboration. When an organization defines its work as a heroic cause and empowers people to think like owners, people will dedicate themselves fully to the business's success.
Grow Great Leaders
The document discusses several key aspects of growing great leaders. It talks about how leaders are both born and made, and the tensions that exist between field operations and headquarters. It also discusses the importance of effective communication, building trust, being accessible to employees, challenging conventions, and knowing when it's time to step aside to make way for new leadership.
A roadmap for success!
The document provides six rules for success in business and organizations. The rules are: 1) Add value for customers and know your industry; 2) Communicate effectively with all stakeholders and provide feedback; 3) Establish clear plans and accountability to deliver results on time and on budget; 4) Conduct business with integrity, ethics, and respect for others; 5) Invest in developing relationships both internally and externally; 6) Maintain perspective and balance by acknowledging limitations and making time for life outside of work. Following these six rules can help individuals and organizations achieve success.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
