There is a disturbing “coaching bias” that I see rampant on LinkedIn re workplace wellness
This bias says “the experience and insight I’ve had that helps me will help you”
It’s not necessarily wrong
the certainty of the coach w their personalized, generalized advice #NoGood

The delivery of this advice is always storytelling about their experience, their pain, their learning, their resolution
The stories are well written and compelling
The advice seems reasonable
But their advice, generalized for all as “better ways” is laced w #distortion

1/ “on 100 senior leaders are telling us”
I’m sure these 100 senior leaders believe what they say about team effectiveness and their own personality

2/ research reports on what it actually measures
which might be nothing, or pure bullshit
So the best research about executives, that executives will want to purchase, is research that gives them validation like “leadership is a team sport”

As I understand their point:
The motor aspects of writing, when coupled with the real-time granular activity of listening and while “trying to understand” alchemizes learning in powerful ways
Me:
Yes absolutely true

- a opera singer
- a juggler
- person w no arms
- person who can’t write
No? must be out of luck then b/c of this magical “writing” that humans invented recently

#Narcissism thread 🧵 15 (more) questions to ask yourself if you are questioning whether someone is a #narcissist
1. Do they devalue, diminish, demonise or harshly judge you or act as the righteous ‘authority’ figure with you regardless of their age, status or employment? 🚩
1. Do they devalue, diminish, demonise or harshly judge you or act as the righteous ‘authority’ figure with you regardless of their age, status or employment? 🚩
Are they #superior? For e.g. A non lawyer preaching to a lawyer about law. 2. Are they #defensive? Do they seem only interested in trying to prove that they are right & you are wrong, in a defensive mode? 🚩They are #competitive not co-operative. Co-operation is a must #healthy
3. Do they demand #attention from you? For e.g., insisting on having the conversation when it’s convenient for them only &/or use emotional #manipulation to ensure conversation happens on ‘their’ terms? They may not answer the question, go off topic, deflect, defensive, accuse 🚩

... a 1-sigma spike in fund flows predicts +3.5pp outperformance for size ("SMB" = small minus big)
... dollar volume matters as much as (if not more than) market cap:
e.g. speculators in singlenames can be marginal buyers inflating prices (with asymmetric size bias due to bandwagon a la $aapl $tsla) by reducing supply for more structural ETF demand
