"People never trust an accommodating man with important things. That may sound harsh and cynical, but check it up in your own experience. If you have a severe illness, for example, you turn to the busiest, most exacting doctor in town. The fact that he is busy and can’t be bothered by little things gives you confidence in his ability and judgment."
Well, there's also the fact that the best doctors are the most in demand, so a doctor who isn't busy isn't that in demand, which is a good indicator that he isn't the best.
and of course we all feel comfortable being helped by "the best" doctor after they had a triple 16-hour shift.
It's quite crazy how hard medical professionals are overworked. It's impossible there's not plenty of mistakes happening. Whether you'll ever hear it is something different.
It seems pretty obvious based on Trump's choices for head of EPA, DOE, etc. that even if he is "keeping an open mind" he is appointing people to positions of power that have anything but an open mind in regards to climate change and environmental stewardship.
His recent interview was probably just political posturing so he doesn't get lambasted by the media while he is making these appointments.
The article is from 2014 and it is about a paper studying "social effects in consumption" in a controlled situation (i.e. while you are stuck in an airplane), and another paper about social influences of high schoolers signing up for an SAT prep class.
While the studies are interesting, it is hardly worthy of the click-bait title.
TL;DR if you sit next to someone on an airplane who buys a drink you are 30% more likely to buy a drink yourself (and presumably the study successfully controlled for people traveling together).
Edit: The post title was just changed from what I clicked on "People around you control your mind: The latest evidence" which was so much more entertaining!
Yeah, have to agree with louprado here. The 'People around you control your mind' although a bit more entertaining and click baity is actually more accurate than 'peer' or 'pressure'.
That was just when they were brainstorming new ideas. The emphasis was also on the team lead enforcing this policy, which is definitely achievable if you are a good manager.
In all I thought this sounds extremely effective, especially compared to how they started i.e. "meandering product meetings where we didn’t write down our decisions".
The single 5 star review had some pretty insincere as the "advice to management":
It's pretty easy to openly communicate with management (all the way up to c-level) in my experience, no need to put it on some website when you could discuss it with them directly.
Here is their rebranding announcement:
