Continuous, Real-Time, Semi-Structured Feedback Instead of Annual Reviews
In a question on Quora about how a start-up should handle performance reviews, John Lilly writes: After believing in annual reviews for most of my career, I don't really believe in them anymore. Not timely enough, demoralizing in general (everyone thinks they're above average), and just a hell ...
Thank you for writing this. As it happens, I just came back from the photo shop, where I finally had the roll of film developed that was in my dad's camera when he suddenly died six years ago.

Yes, it gets you more sex and money, at first. But time levels the playing field.
The "It" Quality
In the business world investors are looking for TheGuy, according to Randall Stross: The guy. No special emphasis on either the or guy, but no intervening pause, either. TheGuy. That’s the person needed to head a start-up once it has grown beyond a seed. To wit, a stud, ideally, a big honkin’ st...
