Google's Jeremy Wertheimer on why a bit of naiveté can be good for entrepreneurs

Favorite excerpt:

Why entrepreneurs shouldn't over-think things. "If you're looking at (starting a company) rationally, you probably would decide it's not so smart ... We had a lot of self-confidence … we went at it. And once you go at it, then you're committed, and it's too late. So as you keep learning how complex it is, that's alright, because you're ready and you're committed, and your pride is involved. And you have no other options any more, and you're just going at it."

How to Become a C.E.O.? The Quickest Path Is a Winding One

"New evidence shows that a mix of skills, especially technology skills, counts more than simply long experience in one specialty." An excerpt:

These are some of the big findings in a new study of 459,000 onetime management consultants by the social network LinkedIn. Experience in one additional functional area improved a person’s odds of becoming a senior executive as much as three years of extra experience. And working in four different functions had nearly the same impact as getting an M.B.A. from a top-five program.

Good news for (courageous) job switchers:

And two business school professors, Jennifer Merluzzi of Tulane and Damon J. Phillips of Columbia, studied hundreds of graduates of an elite M.B.A. program who went into investment banking. The people who were specialists — who had focused only on banking in the past — received fewer offers and lower starting bonuses than those who had worked across various specialties.

As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy.

The End of Reflection

An excerpt:

There are many moments throughout my average day that, lacking print reading material in a previous era, were once occupied by thinking or observing my surroundings: walking or waiting somewhere, riding the subway, lying in bed unable to sleep or before mustering the energy to get up.

Now, though, I often find myself in these situations picking up my phone to check a notification, browse and read the internet, text, use an app or listen to audio (or, on rare occasions, engage in an old-fashioned “telephone call”).
