Choosing The Management Track
Interesting retrospective from software engineer Daniel Na, who moved into a management role and realised some important lessons, all of which are portable to our world in recruiting and HR. In the end, it’s a load of trade offs. Also: worth reading this as an on-premise account of how management works. Management in a remote first world is going to be entirely different and likely would need another retrospective… CULTURE

Digestible report from World Economic Forum, acts as a tone setter for ‘where we are now’ with some signposts as to where we are going to go. Not radical enough in my view (still talking hybrid model - come again??) but a decent primer on the key elements to think about in organisational design. Have a read here

Good luck to our US readership this week. Voting for who becomes the next President of the United States is an awesome responsibility and I have faith that you will discharge it well. For the rest of us on Planet Earth, we can only hope that we all find a way to better connect the requirements of just society with a system of government optimised to deliver to those ends. Have a great week everybody. Hung
