Want to Be More Productive? Try Doing Less. - Harvard Business Review

If we want to ramp up our productivity and happiness at home and at
work, we should actually be doing less. But that’s incredibly
difficult as you’re balancing work, parenting, friendships, and
more. When you stop doing the things that make you feel busy but
aren’t getting you results, then you end up with more than enough
time for what matters. You can follow a simple exercise to help decide
what activities on your to-do list brings you the most value, and
which you can stop doing. Decide on an area of your life where you’d
like to have better results and less stress. Write down the tasks you
do in that area on one side of a piece of paper, and on the other,
list successes you’ve had in that area. Then, identify which tasks
directly contributed to those successes. Anything that didn’t
directly contribute can be eliminated, greatly reduced, or delegated
to someone else.

"Jootsing": The Key to Creativity [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]

“Art is limitation; the essence of every picture is the frame. If
you draw a giraffe, you must draw him with a long neck. If in your
bold creative way you hold yourself free to draw a giraffe with a
short neck, you will really find that you are not free to draw a
giraffe.” —G.K. Chesterton
Dennett explains that jootsing is the method behind creativity in
science, philosophy, and the arts: “Creativity, that ardently sought
but only rarely found virtue, often is a heretofore unimagined
violation of the rules of the system from which it springs.” The
rules within a system could be things like the idea that a painting
must have a frame, a haiku must only have seventeen syllables, or a
depiction of landscape must have a blue sky. But galleries hang
paintings without frames all the time. Haiku without seventeen
syllables win international contests. And landscape paintings don’t
need to contain a sky, let alone a blue one.

Between Mathematics and the Miraculous: The Stunning Pendulum Drawings

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]
Emma Kunz (May 23, 1892–January 16, 1963) was forty-six and the
world was aflame with war when she became an artist. She had worked at
a knitting factory and as a housekeeper. She had written poetry,
publishing a collection titled Life in the interlude between the two
World Wars. Having lost two of her siblings to childhood illness, then
both her surviving brother and her father to suicide when she was
seventeen, she had coped with the physical fragility of life and the
spiritual difficulty of bearing our mortality by becoming a healer.
Her friends called her Penta, from the Pythagorean symbol for health
— a pentagram drawn with a single line.
Inspired by the Swiss Renaissance alchemist, philosopher, and
physician Paracelsus, who fused the divinations and prophecies with
the building blocks of the scientific method in his experiments and
observations in chemistry and biology that pioneered the field of
toxicology, Penta came to see the physical and spiritual dimensions of
reality as one.

The concept of coaching has been a hot topic in business circles for a
number of years. It now almost seems a given that top executives
employ the services of a coach to help them become better leaders and
advance their careers. But the rise in popularity of coaching has also
thrown up a number of questions: What really makes a good coach? What
can and should you expect from your coach? How can you pick someone
that’s right for you?
These are just some of the questions addressed in this new podcast
featuring Derek Deasy and Enoch Li, co-directors of the INSEAD MBA
Personal Leadership Development Programme (PLDP). What’s clear is
that a need for openness, engagement and a willingness to collaborate
with your coach are all essential if the experience is really going to
make an impact.

Moving past gen AI's honeymoon phase: Seven hard truths for CIOs to
get from pilot to scale
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]
The honeymoon phase of generative AI (gen AI) is over. As most
organizations are learning, it is relatively easy to build gee-whiz
gen AI pilots, but turning them into at-scale capabilities is another
story. The difficulty in making that leap goes a long way to
explaining why just 11 percent of companies have adopted gen AI at
scale, according to our latest tech trends research.1“McKinsey
Technology Trends Outlook 2024,” forthcoming on McKinsey.com.
This maturing phase is a welcome development because it gives CIOs an
opportunity to turn gen AI’s promise into business value. Yet while
most CIOs know that pilots don’t reflect real-world
scenarios—that’s not really the point of a pilot, after all—they
often underestimate the amount of work that needs to be done to get
gen AI production ready. Ultimately, getting the full value from gen
AI requires companies to rewire how they work, and putting in place a
scalable technology foundation is a key part of that process.

Bridging the women's health gap: A country-level exploration

Women’s health is not a siloed category, but rather one that affects
individuals, families, and the economy. Women’s health encompasses
the range of health experiences that affect women uniquely,
differently, or disproportionately versus men. The women’s health
gap is the disease burden associated with inequities between women and
men in intervention efficacy, care delivery, and data.
A recent analysis from the McKinsey Health Institute, in collaboration
with the World Economic Forum, has shown that closing the women’s
health gap globally could result in better overall health, fewer early
deaths, and a boost in the economy. Addressing the women’s health
gap could enhance the quality of life for women throughout their lives
and improve future generations’ health and wealth.

It is the second giant structure found by teams led by Alexia Lopez,

first, a giant arc of galaxies, was unveiled in 2022. That structure
is 3.3 billion light-years across and appears in the same region of
sky at the same distance from Earth as the Big Ring.
“BAOs arise from oscillations in the early universe and today should
appear, statistically at least, as spherical shells in the arrangement
of galaxies. However, detailed analysis of the Big Ring revealed it is
not really compatible with the BAO explanation: the Big Ring is too
large and is not spherical.”

“Good managers [and leaders I suggest] fail when they attempt to use
silver-bullet solutions to complex problems.”James A. Highsmith,
Adaptive Software Development (2013)
Given that a leader’s main challenge is “creating an organization
that can thrive and change, or at least be comfortable in change,”
according to Diana Wu David, that creates tension. Wu David is a
former Financial Times Executive, was a management consultant, and is
currently a lecturer on Columbia Business School’s EMBA Global Asia.
Twenty years ago, through the advent of Lean, Six Sigma and
Deming-inspired approaches to efficiency, leaders were encouraged to
become experts at “just in time.” Wu David says, that leaders
“got good at ‘just in time’ and are having to get used to
‘just in case’.”

Each chapter in Mauro Javier Cárdenas’ latest novel American
Abductions is a single sentence careening its way through a mashup of
dialogue, pop culture references, political allusions, social media,
jokes, and wordplay, as well as observations and theories scientific,
spiritual, and conspiratorial.
In other words, it’s composed of the ephemera that make up our
everyday lives, but compressed into an inexorable torrent of
information, as though we the readers were AI algorithms, barraged
with humanity’s endless discharge of data, and tasked with making
sense of it all. The allusion to artificial intelligence is not
incidental: The technology not only plays a key role in the novel’s
headlong narrative, but Cárdenas also directly leveraged AI in the
creation of the book.

While jargon has the advantage of communicating a lot of information
in a short amount of time, it has deeply alienating effects on those
even slightly outside the field of reference. Director, actor, and
master communicator Alan Alda uses examples from film sets and
hospital rooms to illustrate jargon’s impact on our interactions,
and how it can exclude those we are trying to communicate with.
Now more than ever, we need to find ways to foster connections and
encourage close relationships with one another. The solution, Alda
explains, is to use jargon only when you are confident that it is
completely understood by the person you are speaking with. Otherwise,
you risk losing the opportunity to truly communicate, causing
misunderstanding and even disinterest.

The company, which started labeling state-affiliated media two years
ago, announced in a statement late last week that identified
accounts attempting to "reach communities outside their home country
on current global events and affairs" will not appear on the main feed
where users watch videos.
The new policy comes a few weeks after a study by the nonprofit
Brookings Institution that said Russian state-affiliated accounts had
boosted their use of the platform and were posting more messages in
English and Spanish.

This European Trend Is Suddenly Going Mainstream in the U.S. It's a
Lesson in Emotionally Intelligent Communication

Years ago, I noticed an interesting trend among my friends and
colleagues here in Europe: Instead of writing text or direct messages,
they had begun sending me voice memos. Some were short, a minute or
less. Others were not so short, even reaching up to five minutes--or
longer.
Recently, it seems this practice is going mainstream in the U.S.
"Burned out on screens, people are sending lengthy voice notes
instead," reported the Washington Post last week. And this morning
LinkedIn published a short article on "The rise of the voice memo."

3 Succession Situations to Plan For
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]

Succession planning has always been important, but not critical. Now,
in 2024, it has evolved from "should do" and "must-do" to "cannot
wait." Many external factors make it increasingly pertinent for
organizations and leaders to identify their next-in-line.
First, we are entering an unprecedented era of retirements, with 4.1
million Americans poised to leave the workforce yearly until 2027.
Second, there's a growth cycle on the horizon, subsequently, we can
expect an uptick in workforce velocity. When the job market picks back
up, workers of all levels will have options for better opportunities
in greater quantities--C-Suite included. And third, on the other side
of the upcoming growth cycle, economists predict the emergence of a
multi-year economic downturn starting in 2030. Ahead of this projected
slump, many CEOs are considering their five-year strategy, which may
include a merger, acquisition, and/or exit.

Protest Histories Make Some Employers Wary of Hiring New Gen-Z Grads

Graduation season is in full swing, meaning with young people
across the U.S. are striding across stages to collect their
college diplomas, then stepping straight off to enter the labor
market. However, many of those new job hunters may be taken
aback at the reception they receive from less than impressed business
owners--especially those averse to hiring participants
in pro-Palestinian protests that swept university campuses since
the October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, and the subsequent Israeli
bombardment of Gaza.
While many companies report having a harder time finding qualified
job candidates than before the pandemic, a recent survey found
considerable wariness among hiring managers to offering positions
to recent Gen Z college grads. The poll by Intelligent.com, a
higher education advisory company, showed respondents gave a variety
of reasons for those hesitations, with perhaps the most surprising
being a candidate's past participation in
controversial pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Fully 30 percent of
bosses said they'd be concerned with a job applicant's activities
during those protests, with 22 percent saying they were "reluctant
to hire graduates who participated."

Will artificial intelligence take our jobs? As AI raises new fears
about a jobless future, it’s helpful to consider how economists’
understanding of technology and labor has evolved. For decades,
economists were relatively optimistic, and pointed out that previous
waves of technology had not led to mass unemployment. But as income
inequality rose in much of the world, they began to revise their
theories. Newer models of technology’s affects on the labor market
account for the fact that it absolutely can displace workers and lower
wages. In the long run, technology does tend to raise living
standards. But how soon and how broadly? That depends on two factors:
Whether technologies create new jobs for people to do and whether
workers have a voice in technology’s deployment.

Being happy and positive at work can be a win-win for employees and
organizations. But what happens when your boss practices toxic
positivity? No matter how bad or stressful the situation is or how
difficult the circumstances, they convince themselves that simply
acting happy or thinking positively will change the outcome — then
spread this toxic positivity to their teams. By doing so, they put the
responsibility on individuals to try to survive and persevere in
broken and dysfunctional environments, without addressing the root
causes at hand. How can you tell the difference between a boss who is
optimistic, thinks positively, and coaches and inspires their team and
one who practices toxic positivity? The author presents three red
flags to watch for.

saying ‘Positive vibes only!’ Or you might have seen the endless

If we want to ramp up our productivity and happiness at home and at
work, we should actually be doing less. But that’s incredibly
difficult as you’re balancing work, parenting, friendships, and
more. When you stop doing the things that make you feel busy but
aren’t getting you results, then you end up with more than enough
time for what matters. You can follow a simple exercise to help decide
what activities on your to-do list brings you the most value, and
which you can stop doing. Decide on an area of your life where you’d
like to have better results and less stress. Write down the tasks you
do in that area on one side of a piece of paper, and on the other,
list successes you’ve had in that area. Then, identify which tasks
directly contributed to those successes. Anything that didn’t
directly contribute can be eliminated, greatly reduced, or delegated
to someone else.

"Jootsing": The Key to Creativity [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]

“Art is limitation; the essence of every picture is the frame. If
you draw a giraffe, you must draw him with a long neck. If in your
bold creative way you hold yourself free to draw a giraffe with a
short neck, you will really find that you are not free to draw a
giraffe.” —G.K. Chesterton
Dennett explains that jootsing is the method behind creativity in
science, philosophy, and the arts: “Creativity, that ardently sought
but only rarely found virtue, often is a heretofore unimagined
violation of the rules of the system from which it springs.” The
rules within a system could be things like the idea that a painting
must have a frame, a haiku must only have seventeen syllables, or a
depiction of landscape must have a blue sky. But galleries hang
paintings without frames all the time. Haiku without seventeen
syllables win international contests. And landscape paintings don’t
need to contain a sky, let alone a blue one.

Emma Kunz (May 23, 1892–January 16, 1963) was forty-six and the
world was aflame with war when she became an artist. She had worked at
a knitting factory and as a housekeeper. She had written poetry,
publishing a collection titled Life in the interlude between the two
World Wars. Having lost two of her siblings to childhood illness, then
both her surviving brother and her father to suicide when she was
seventeen, she had coped with the physical fragility of life and the
spiritual difficulty of bearing our mortality by becoming a healer.
Her friends called her Penta, from the Pythagorean symbol for health
— a pentagram drawn with a single line.
Inspired by the Swiss Renaissance alchemist, philosopher, and
physician Paracelsus, who fused the divinations and prophecies with
the building blocks of the scientific method in his experiments and
observations in chemistry and biology that pioneered the field of
toxicology, Penta came to see the physical and spiritual dimensions of
reality as one.

The concept of coaching has been a hot topic in business circles for a

employ the services of a coach to help them become better leaders and
advance their careers. But the rise in popularity of coaching has also
thrown up a number of questions: What really makes a good coach? What
can and should you expect from your coach? How can you pick someone
that’s right for you?
These are just some of the questions addressed in this new podcast
featuring Derek Deasy and Enoch Li, co-directors of the INSEAD MBA
Personal Leadership Development Programme (PLDP). What’s clear is
that a need for openness, engagement and a willingness to collaborate
with your coach are all essential if the experience is really going to

Moving past gen AI's honeymoon phase: Seven hard truths for CIOs to
get from pilot to scale

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=6386&nl=daily]
The honeymoon phase of generative AI (gen AI) is over. As most
organizations are learning, it is relatively easy to build gee-whiz
gen AI pilots, but turning them into at-scale capabilities is another
story. The difficulty in making that leap goes a long way to
explaining why just 11 percent of companies have adopted gen AI at
scale, according to our latest tech trends research.1“McKinsey
Technology Trends Outlook 2024,” forthcoming on McKinsey.com.
This maturing phase is a welcome development because it gives CIOs an
opportunity to turn gen AI’s promise into business value. Yet while
most CIOs know that pilots don’t reflect real-world
scenarios—that’s not really the point of a pilot, after all—they
often underestimate the amount of work that needs to be done to get
gen AI production ready. Ultimately, getting the full value from gen
AI requires companies to rewire how they work, and putting in place a
scalable technology foundation is a key part of that process.

Women’s health is not a siloed category, but rather one that affects
individuals, families, and the economy. Women’s health encompasses
the range of health experiences that affect women uniquely,
differently, or disproportionately versus men. The women’s health
gap is the disease burden associated with inequities between women and
men in intervention efficacy, care delivery, and data.
A recent analysis from the McKinsey Health Institute, in collaboration
with the World Economic Forum, has shown that closing the women’s
health gap globally could result in better overall health, fewer early
deaths, and a boost in the economy. Addressing the women’s health
gap could enhance the quality of life for women throughout their lives
and improve future generations’ health and wealth.

story was largely told by institutions from Europe and the United
States. Can a stunning new museum change that narrative?

It is the second giant structure found by teams led by Alexia Lopez,
an astronomer at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK. The
first, a giant arc of galaxies, was unveiled in 2022. That structure
is 3.3 billion light-years across and appears in the same region of
sky at the same distance from Earth as the Big Ring.
“BAOs arise from oscillations in the early universe and today should
appear, statistically at least, as spherical shells in the arrangement
of galaxies. However, detailed analysis of the Big Ring revealed it is
not really compatible with the BAO explanation: the Big Ring is too
large and is not spherical.”

“Good managers [and leaders I suggest] fail when they attempt to use
silver-bullet solutions to complex problems.”James A. Highsmith,
Adaptive Software Development (2013)
Given that a leader’s main challenge is “creating an organization
that can thrive and change, or at least be comfortable in change,”
according to Diana Wu David, that creates tension. Wu David is a
former Financial Times Executive, was a management consultant, and is
currently a lecturer on Columbia Business School’s EMBA Global Asia.
Twenty years ago, through the advent of Lean, Six Sigma and
Deming-inspired approaches to efficiency, leaders were encouraged to
become experts at “just in time.” Wu David says, that leaders
“got good at ‘just in time’ and are having to get used to
‘just in case’.”

Each chapter in Mauro Javier Cárdenas’ latest novel American
Abductions is a single sentence careening its way through a mashup of
dialogue, pop culture references, political allusions, social media,
jokes, and wordplay, as well as observations and theories scientific,
spiritual, and conspiratorial.
In other words, it’s composed of the ephemera that make up our
everyday lives, but compressed into an inexorable torrent of
information, as though we the readers were AI algorithms, barraged
with humanity’s endless discharge of data, and tasked with making
sense of it all. The allusion to artificial intelligence is not
incidental: The technology not only plays a key role in the novel’s
headlong narrative, but Cárdenas also directly leveraged AI in the
creation of the book.

While jargon has the advantage of communicating a lot of information
in a short amount of time, it has deeply alienating effects on those
even slightly outside the field of reference. Director, actor, and
master communicator Alan Alda uses examples from film sets and
hospital rooms to illustrate jargon’s impact on our interactions,
and how it can exclude those we are trying to communicate with.
Now more than ever, we need to find ways to foster connections and
encourage close relationships with one another. The solution, Alda
explains, is to use jargon only when you are confident that it is
completely understood by the person you are speaking with. Otherwise,
you risk losing the opportunity to truly communicate, causing
misunderstanding and even disinterest.

The new policy comes a few weeks after a study by the nonprofit

Years ago, I noticed an interesting trend among my friends and
colleagues here in Europe: Instead of writing text or direct messages,
they had begun sending me voice memos. Some were short, a minute or
less. Others were not so short, even reaching up to five minutes--or
longer.
Recently, it seems this practice is going mainstream in the U.S.
"Burned out on screens, people are sending lengthy voice notes
instead," reported the Washington Post last week. And this morning
LinkedIn published a short article on "The rise of the voice memo."

3 Succession Situations to Plan For

Succession planning has always been important, but not critical. Now,
in 2024, it has evolved from "should do" and "must-do" to "cannot
wait." Many external factors make it increasingly pertinent for
organizations and leaders to identify their next-in-line.
First, we are entering an unprecedented era of retirements, with 4.1
million Americans poised to leave the workforce yearly until 2027.
Second, there's a growth cycle on the horizon, subsequently, we can
expect an uptick in workforce velocity. When the job market picks back
up, workers of all levels will have options for better opportunities
in greater quantities--C-Suite included. And third, on the other side
of the upcoming growth cycle, economists predict the emergence of a
multi-year economic downturn starting in 2030. Ahead of this projected
slump, many CEOs are considering their five-year strategy, which may
include a merger, acquisition, and/or exit.

Graduation season is in full swing, meaning with young people
across the U.S. are striding across stages to collect their
college diplomas, then stepping straight off to enter the labor
market. However, many of those new job hunters may be taken
aback at the reception they receive from less than impressed business
owners--especially those averse to hiring participants
in pro-Palestinian protests that swept university campuses since
the October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, and the subsequent Israeli
bombardment of Gaza.
While many companies report having a harder time finding qualified
job candidates than before the pandemic, a recent survey found
considerable wariness among hiring managers to offering positions
to recent Gen Z college grads. The poll by Intelligent.com, a
higher education advisory company, showed respondents gave a variety
of reasons for those hesitations, with perhaps the most surprising
being a candidate's past participation in
controversial pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Fully 30 percent of
bosses said they'd be concerned with a job applicant's activities
during those protests, with 22 percent saying they were "reluctant
to hire graduates who participated."

Will artificial intelligence take our jobs? As AI raises new fears
about a jobless future, it’s helpful to consider how economists’
understanding of technology and labor has evolved. For decades,
economists were relatively optimistic, and pointed out that previous
waves of technology had not led to mass unemployment. But as income
inequality rose in much of the world, they began to revise their
theories. Newer models of technology’s affects on the labor market
account for the fact that it absolutely can displace workers and lower
wages. In the long run, technology does tend to raise living
standards. But how soon and how broadly? That depends on two factors:
Whether technologies create new jobs for people to do and whether
workers have a voice in technology’s deployment.

Being happy and positive at work can be a win-win for employees and
organizations. But what happens when your boss practices toxic
positivity? No matter how bad or stressful the situation is or how
difficult the circumstances, they convince themselves that simply
acting happy or thinking positively will change the outcome — then
spread this toxic positivity to their teams. By doing so, they put the
responsibility on individuals to try to survive and persevere in
broken and dysfunctional environments, without addressing the root
causes at hand. How can you tell the difference between a boss who is
optimistic, thinks positively, and coaches and inspires their team and
one who practices toxic positivity? The author presents three red
flags to watch for.

assurances such as ‘chin up’ or ‘everything happens for a

saying ‘Positive vibes only!’ Or you might have seen the endless
