Do we need more specialist or more generalist skills for the future? Some futurists predict that, in the age of AI, choosing to be a generalist will be a risky career move. Someone with broad, basic competence in multiple domains is likely to be overtaken by an AI language model. However, there is a growing view that generalists will own the future. A generalist has something that language models don’t have: the capacity to learn quickly & see/solve novel problems in new domains. The person who thrives in the future might not be the expert who knows the exact answer to a question (specialist). Rather, it might be the one who knows which questions to ask in the first place (generalist). every.to/chain-of-thought/wh…. By @danshipper via @FerraroRoberto.

Often the most helpful thing you can do for people is to push them to be more ambitious or encourage them to hold themselves to a higher standard.

Felt a bit low today and then received this message from our director of engineering which made my day "Just had my one to one with ******. He said some lovely things about you including 'When I'm with Holly I feel like I can achieve anything'"

Leaders are often promoted into positions without essential people skills. They may have longevity, strategic thinking, the right connections but they never say “how are you really doing?” “thank you for everything you’ve done” or “I’m sorry I got that wrong” Leadership is this.

Liverpool, Walthamstow, Oxford, Bristol - beautiful scenes from up and down the country of communities coming together in the face of hatred this evening. THIS is who we are, THIS is what we should be striving for.

This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember. When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand. I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone. Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return. How dare they do this to him. How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing. After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive. So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!! He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see. It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win. If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡

take that break. take that nap. take that trip. take what you need—because this world will take everything from you, if you don’t take care of yourself.

"Leadership is language". Words are powerful tools that energise or deflate, inspire or dishearten. When we talk about "resources" rather than "people", or use "they" rather than "we" or say someone is lazy or use "must" or "have to" or abbreviations excessively, we set the culture. There are some great examples of leadership teams identifying words they want to use more & less often & holding each other to account for it: antmurphy.medium.com/leaders… Via @ant_murphy @noelito
