Leave All Work and No Play in the Dust

May 22, 2018 by Jeremy Lott

For my first job in Washington, DC, I worked very long hours. One night, a rare dinner date was lined up. “What time do you get off?” my date asked to coordinate. A long, awkward pause followed. “It’s kind of a philosophical question,” I finally admitted. That was fine by me at the time, but […]

Don’t Bet the Farm on Brainstorming

3 Reasons to Think Twice Before Scheduling that Meeting

May 15, 2018 by Jeremy Lott

Automation for the People

Why It's Difficult and How to Get It Right

March 20, 2018 by Jeremy Lott

If you want to understand how hard it can be to automate, consider the many attempts to replace cashiers with self-checkout systems. To wit, CVS pharmacies were once lousy with self-checkout systems, which I personally tried to use, many times, to get out the door faster. Almost every time, some loud error sent me to […]

Guy Walks into a Board Room

How Leaders Can Stand Up and Cast a Compelling Vision

January 23, 2018 by Jeremy Lott

Comedians refer to an audience that hasn’t heard any jokes yet as a “cold room.” It is thus the job of the comics who go first or second in the night to warm them up. You tell some jokes, suggest a convivial mood for the crowd, and hope they’ve brought their funny bones. I have […]
