THANK YOU

In cross-functional meetings, silence can be deceptive. I’ve seen it many times – leaders walking out of a room feeling aligned, only to find out weeks later that there was no real agreement at all. The signs were there: no questions, no pushback, a few polite nods. BUT just because no one speaks up doesn’t

Did you read Part 1 and Part 2? To remind you, the heralding of photons is all about detecting something, in this case a single photon, that can be very difficult to detect. In Part 1 I suggested building signal detectors to monitor key inputs to your project, or team, from other projects or teams because

Did you read Part 1 last week? As a reminder, the heralded photon is a single photon that is heralded by the heralding photon. You need the heralding photon to know you have the heralded photon as the heralded one is harder to detect. Single photons are used in quantum computing. I went down that

If you are a quantum physicist and find yourself here, you’re in the wrong place. Everyone else might find this helpful 😊 Recently I heard about “the heralded photon”. I asked my quantum physicist son to explain it to me. He is a very, very, very good explainer of complex science to lay people (if

Imagine a workplace where every team member feels safe sharing their ideas – even the unpopular ones. That’s psychological safety, and it’s an imperative for good decision making for every leader, as every leader is influenced by the voices or the silence of peers and direct reports alike. It’s not enough saying you want open

The importance of clearly communicating risk appetite. How often do decisions get deferred at Board level? Is it due to the level of uncertainty? That’s fine, sometimes it is better to defer. However, what I have witnessed way too often is a deferment due to a lack of clarity on the agreed appetite for risk.
