Match opportunities with talent

To develop its COVID-19 vaccine in record time, for example, pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca mobilized employees into cross-functional tiger teams rather than according to functional expertise. But it also tapped its ecosystem, collaborating with academia and regulatory agencies and employing new ways of working.

Make cross-functional teams 

When hiring, consider such segments as alumni, workers who have taken career breaks to be caregivers, people in untapped geographies who can work remotely, the long-term unemployed, immigrants and refugees, and those with physical disabilities or neurodiversity challenges

Hire creatively 

<ul><li>When employees are empowered to make decisions about where and how they could work, engagement and productivity increase.</li><li>That should also involve training managers for hybrid work so they focus on outcomes, not in-office face time.</li></ul>

Empower employees with where and why of work

Talent is one of the biggest issues facing C-suite executives today. Leaders should not only understand the big shifts at play but also reimagine workplace systems, policies, and culture to deal with the current crisis and withstand future shocks.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER  #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street. What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian psychologist, author, and media commentator. He began to receive widespread attention in the late 2010s for his views on cultural and political issues, often described as conservative. Peterson has described himself as a classic British liberal and a traditionalist.

12 Rules for Life

Travel’s magical disappearing act begins before we leave home. Rule number one: pack light. Don’t do so because it’s virtuous or ecologically sound but because you’ll enjoy yourself more. Pack light and you feel light.Packing light has nothing to do with overhead bins and everything to do with psychology. Less stuff means fewer choices. Choice is good, up to a point, but too many choices confuse us, and rob us of happiness, as research shows. Travel is about corralling those choices, subduing them. A pared-down life is a better, happier life. S

 A pared-down life is a better, happier life

It is a truism that travel broadens your horizons. Like most truisms, it is only partly true. Yes, travel expands your world, but it does so by shrinking it. I was reminded of this delicious paradox…

The Real Reason You’re Happier When You Travel

When many of us start writing, we hide our personality. As a result, our writing becomes weak. Here’s why:<ul><li>We care too much about what other people might think. We’re trying to impress. Especially when we’re writing for specific readers, like potential employers or publishers.</li><li>We compare ourselves with writers we admire. We try to emulate others too much.</li><li>We lack confidence in our writing. So we try to hide behind fancy words and jargon.</li><li>We’re used to writing under industry formats, like academic or legal writing, that after some time we forget our personal voice.</li></ul>

Hiding your personality

Don’t just read it in your mind. Actually speak the words. Does it sound like you? If it doesn’t, you probably will stumble when you’re trying to read it out loud.When we truly listen to what we’ve written, we detect what’s wrong or weak with our writing. We can point out which words, sentences, and statements sound unnatural or forced or pretentious.Because that’s what unique writing is all about: Writing that sounds like you.

Read your writing out loud

It’s easy to get tunnel vision and miss the bigger picture. We tend to use words we think people want to see. Or try to sound smarter and more impressive.This happens when we’re afraid that people won’t understand or appreciate what we’re saying. But over-explaining rarely works. And in the long run, that’s unsustainable because it makes you despise writing.

Don’t try too hard

A writing style is unique because of the writer’s personality. I think we all know that intuitively. But when we write, we forget that.

Do This to Discover Your Unique Writing Style - Darius Foroux

Business leaders can first harness their paranoia by constantly asking questions--both about your business and the market overall. Most markets are more dynamic than they've ever been, and change happens fast. If you're not asking questions, you're not intimately familiar with your market, and you're going to get passed by.

Question everything

Asking questions will likely prove that you don't have all of the answers--and that's okay. Even the most successful leaders embrace humility and acknowledge that they need a trusted team to figure out the best path forward.Practice the philosophy of "hire the best and trust them." We need to empower our domain experts to make decisions and sometimes "disagree and commit." Or more often, express our point of view and then defer to the domain expert or functional owner.  This takes humility.

Stay humble

It's easy to get caught up in your business's success. While there is a time and place to acknowledge and celebrate big wins and market leadership, complacency is a death knell in today's business reality. By harnessing paranoia, leaders can avoid finding finite satisfaction in today's victories and focus on maintaining a competitive edge for tomorrow.

Stay nimble and pivot

Complacency is a death knell. Stay focused to maintain your company's edge in the evolving business landscape.

Stress Inoculation Training: What It Is, How It Works, and Benefits - The Human Condition

Overthinking goes into overdrive when we keep revisiting decisions we make, refusing to close the door on a call that has been made. Believe that you’ve done your due diligence, and revisit something you’ve already decided only when you’re presented with new information.

1. Reopen the door only when new information knocks.

Constantly ruminating and going over scenarios and possibilities often disguises itself as problem solving. It feels like you’re doing something good and useful. But you’re not, you’re just spinning in a circle. Recognize when you’re overthinking something, don’t act like it’s problem solving, and press fast-forward.

2. Know that overthinking and problem solving aren't the same 

This is a formula, a ratio, for how you should calculate how you value yourself, based on 90 percent self-worth, 10 percent assigned worth. Ninety percent should come from your self-acceptance and self-appreciation, and just 10 percent from that occasional sliver of external validation we all need.Overthinkers distort the formula, even reversing it by acting like 90 percent of their worth comes from what others think or say. So they worry, which takes the form of--you guessed it--overthinking.

3. Remember the 90-10 rule.

Overthinkers read too much into things. Why? They’re assuming something bad lies underneath, something like a bad perception, someone wishing them ill, or an unfavorable outcome.When you catch yourself doing this, switch your assumption to what you're reading into was well-intended, or at least neutral. The vast majority of the time, it really is, so why not act like it?

4. Assume good intent.

News flash: You can’t read the future, you can’t read minds, and you can’t know everything. So don’t try. Thinking harder doesn’t activate the crystal ball.

5. Embrace informed ignorance.

A Buddhist chaplain once taught me how to handle uncertainty. I remember his teachings as an acronym: OAR. Observe uncertainty, don’t overreact to it. Acknowledge the presence of uncertainty and accept that impermanence is inevitable. Realize that uncertainty brings benefits, like unleashing creativity and resilience.

6. Embrace uncertainty.

Overthinkers keep asking themselves “what if,” which is an impossible question to answer. If you catch yourself asking “what if,” quickly switch it to “we’ll see,” which is a way of moving past analysis paralysis to acceptance.

7. Replace “what if” with “we’ll see.”

By this I mean stop spending so much time in your head. Get outside it and switch gears to connect with what's going on around you so you can take joy in it. It can be dark and foreboding inside that head of yours, no?

8. Get outside and play.

Overthinking also comes from overworrying about the worse-case scenario, which of course no one wants to experience. But ask yourself, “What is the probability the undesirable outcome will actually occur?” Odds are, not very high.

9. Do the math.

Related to the above, this means stop taking small details and turning them into questionable conclusions. Stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Unlike at the mall, this kind of escalator lifts nobody up.

10. Stop framing the unremarkable as catastrophic.

We often feel the need to overthink because we simply fear being wrong. Ask yourself in such moments what the realistic cost of being wrong is. When you can lower the stakes, you raise your ability to get mentally unstuck.So don’t overthink it. Take the inspiration here and run with it. Without looking back.

11. Evaluate the true impact of being wrong.

Sara-Jayne grew up in a Catholic household where talking about mental illness was taboo. “I knew the way that I thought and felt things was different, but it wasn't until my early twenties that I realized just how impactful it was on my whole life,” she tells Verywell.

10 Instagram Accounts That Destigmatize Mental Health

Manifest the inherent life within you to achieve life's hierarchy of needs "And life confided the secret to me, behold, it said, I am that which must always overcome itself"~Niechze, Thus Spoke Zarasthusra We are Life. We carry forward life within our bodies, our genes, architypes,cultures and much more unknown. Our bodies keep the score of our experiences. Life adapts gradually through us as means. Then we wither off, life continues. But life isn't anything fundamentally special, it is unique, that's undeniable yet it still follows the laws of reality, the fundamental truths of this Universe.

Shadow Truism

<ul><li>The more personal, the more universal</li></ul>The key to understanding people is to understand that the actuality of people are not what they think, believe or possess. It's their behaviour. Behaviour is prompted by a cause. It's nature reveals more about a person than it conceals the irrationality behind it for that particular individual. Therefore, to know oneself is to unbiasly observe one's behaviour and then find the cause of it. It's always the Attributions we make which make what we make of us.

Understanding People

"Behaviour is the mirror of personality, persona and Shadow

Attribution Theory

Attribution theory is concerned with how individuals interpret events and how this relates to their thinking and behavior. Attribution theory assumes that people try to determine why people do what they do, i.e., attribute causes to behavior. A person seeking to understand why another person did something may attribute one or more causes to the behaviour.A three-stage process underlies an attribution: (1) the person must perceive or observe the behavior (2) the person must believe that the behavior was intentionally performed (3) Attribution is made which is personal, situational or ovccsional

What we Identify with is the most causal aspect of behaviour. Identifing as a good person, for example, make us incapable of knowing when we are in the wrong due to the repellent cognitive disonance and Constitency bias. So does it work with politics, Gender, Victimhood and everything in life. It becomes a mask that cannot be detached from the face. It rules our behaviour, metal formations (believes, awareness, biases etc), desires, visions, purpose and perception. Attribution makes us "us".

Identity

"Truth, calculations and Potentially are the ultimate recipe for success" "All lies and misunderstandings take toll" "No matter how vurnerable you are, in the darkness of the unknown, the light of truth will keep you off the dangerspots. The brighter it shines, the safer your venture is" "If truth is light, know that it hath many hues. All truths have their domain, degrees of truth, radiance and rewards." "Courage and truths are the fundamentals of living."

Truism

It stands for a philosophy of caution when ingesting truths, caution when identifying, confidence by knowing the limits/radiance of the truths, and forever pushing your understanding as a truth-seeker. It has three symbolic architypes.

The Dragon stands for Courage, Rage, Vigilance and Freedom.Courage when Rational is a leverage in life, When irrational is a sentence of death.Youth is a dormant rage of the human condition.Vigilance is knowing that you are capable of the despicable tyranny and keeping it that way.Life doesn't fights just in punches, bite or swords. It fights in possibilities. Thus, it is innately free. Thus, be free, of bondage of identities, lies, desires, emotions, flow (flow state) than to languish it away.

The Dragon

"We are, in all truths, everything we are capable of; willing, unwilling, consciously, unconsiously, Wholly or partly. Life is potential crafted by nature and nurture"Our shadow is what we are capable of by our nature and nurture, even if we refuse to identify with it. We may not act like barbarians, identity with barbarianism but we are. We may not have committed a crime, but all of us are criminal by nature. Everything rejected by us is casted into the pitch of our shadow.Shadow is the unknown

Shadow

"Nobody is who they say they are; no matter how genuinely they confess"

"Just because the shadow disappears in darkness doesn't mean it isn't there. It means that you noticed it only in the light, tagging along. One may think that it is distinct from oneself but Shadow is what allow us to craft ourselves, change, adapt, fight,win and manifest. It's us"To integrate the shadow, know your Attributions and know how to disindentify and identity with what is requisite of your purpose. Make it impersonal to be you, similiar to how you are indifferent to yourself.

Shadow Integration

The Phoenix stands for Resilience, Truth, Sacrifice and Self-overcoming. It stands for the nature of life. If the dragon be the attitude, let phoenix be thy soul. Hedonism is not the search of happiness, it's substitution for our guilt of giving up. Self-overcoming is the way fo life. It is rewarded, regarded in highness and transcends all needs. Abraham Maslow who studied the happiness men placed this need in the apex of the heiarchy.

Phoenix

Morality is the Nash Equilibrium of the Game of Civilization. Culture ingrains civility among people, Religion ingrains morality. I truths, they are mere imaginary lines to navigate through strategies. Game theory explains behaviour, and knowing the attributions, we could infact read people and ourselves. I would recommend to get into depth with it.

Game Theory

I hope I could convey what I desired. This realisations changed my life. I got them by 17 years of searching, crisis and Suffering. I hope it helped you all. The next segment is my belief I hold. It may not be true and I would not recommend acting on them.

Farewell

The Universe is not pessimistic/ optimistic. It is full of all possibilities. It happens across multiverse of possibilities. Every possibility is a reality. Even life was suppose to be impossible, yet here we are.Everything is connected to an ultimate reality which is at superposition of infinite possibilities, indipendent of space-time. Creation, preservation and destruction occurs preodicly. There is nothing life suffers more than conditonal freedom. Bondage is the comfort of retirement.

Opinion

These Ideas are A collection of 17 years of deliberate suffering to dawn upon realisations. These empowered my character and helped me to know what and how to don anything in my life. I thought, I ought to share this. It like the meme "I understood the assignment" where the assignment was life.

Philosophy

The Philosophy of ShadowTruism

Is anything you eat. Be it healthy or unhealthy. I believe nutrition is the best and the easiest way to feel good. It's the basic that that you have control over once you grow up. So most doctors and health experts advise you to change your diet before putting you on any meds in case of diseases or simply to get you back to fitness.

Nutrition

Because that is the main source of substrate for all the energy you need for surviving. The carbs, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibres etc come from the food you eat which constitutes nutrition.Thus simply put, WHAT YOU EAT, BUILDS AND FUELS YOU!

Why Is Nutrition Important

Let me get that straight before I begin. NOT EASY.Our dietary habits begin in childhood and are influenced by family patterns, region we live, ethnicity etc. It's said that what you eat as a child is what forms the basis of your lifetime eating habits to a certain extent. That is why we are encouraged to eat healthy as children.But the changing times have made it more of a challenge. Fad diets, crash diets , thinning supplements, the need to fit into a figure prototype is why most people try to change their diet. Some succeed, some don't.

Changing Your Dietary Habits

<ul><li>Start small : Don't make big changes overnight. Neither will you like it, nor your body. Go slow. Your body needs time to adjust to the new changes after years of eating the same way.</li><li>Consult a dietician, nutritionist or even your primary healthcare physician. DO NOT FOLLOW RANDOM BLOGS AND CELEBS BLINDLY. PLEASE.</li><li>Try to build your new healthy diet around your traditional one. It is easier and more effective.</li><li>ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Your body is the best judge when it comes to assessing what food suits you and what not. </li><li>Be mindful of your allergies and health conditions before you start.</li></ul>

Tips To Modify Your Diet

<ul><li>Do not eat foods that you cannot digest or aversive to just because it is more healthier. Look for another alternative.</li><li>Make sure to have enough protein and fibers in your diet. </li><li>AVOID FAST FOOD. Once a while it's okay. Don't make it a habit.</li><li>Shop for your food on your own. Visit the grocery store or the supermarket. That's the best way to take control of your health. Learn cooking. Invest in your health.</li><li>Most important. BE CONSISTENT. Don't just start eating healthy for a week or month to fit into an outfit. Do it to be healthy. Change your priorities.</li><li>Stay active. Choose a fitness routine.</li></ul>
