Welcome to our regular Tech Tuesday, a weekly challenge where you explain one technical concept intuitively.
Pick any idea, technology, concept, formula, …, from any technical field —math, science, economics, politics, humanities, art— and share an article, note, thread, or any other written communication explaining it as intuitively as possible.
Link back here your contributions, and make sure to check all others.
Are leaders born or trained? What about the traits that we value in leaders? What about traits like Openness? Conscientiousness? The ability to get along but not a pushover? Someone who is low in anxiety and self-doubt?
This is where it gets messy because those traits are underpinned by personality proclivities that are embedded in our psyche.
The reality is that anyone can lead but we have to be careful to ensure they know who they are and how to create a leadership profile that maximizes their strengths vs. falling victim to the common leadership tropes.
This one is a bit of a stretch but it’s still Tuesday here in California and my post from this morning is related to technology. After chewing on it for a week or two I put together a few thoughts on techno-optimism and articulated how I connect technology, human flourishing, and the good life. A bit more philosophical than technical, but hopefully thought-provoking.
