Time To Fire The Talent?

Brief Date: 
24th Feb 2011
Brief Author: 
Ben Horowitz

Here we are not talking about poor performers but smart talented people who can be poisonous for your company. The author classifies them into two types, the Heretic who is always on the lookout for weaknesses simply to feel empowered and prove that the company is being run by morons and the Jerk, who is always hostile and aggressive so much so that he can singlehandedly breakdown communication across the executive and eventually through the company.

Facebook in 10 years......

25th August, 2009
By Nick Vaidya

Has the facebook phenomenon reached maturity and equilibrium or are we to expect change?  It is, indeed, a lot of things to a lot of people.  It is a social resume.  It is a directory of people? It is play ground? It is a blow horn? And on and on....Whatever it may be to you, it evolves for each individual. What do you think it will look like in 10 years from now?  

Quote of the Day

“
There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.
- Michael Dell
