Why Your CEO Should Be Like Cognizant's CEO

Hi folks, today I want to introduce you to the legendary man of this decade, Mr. Ravi Kumar S. He is an expert in generative AI and has now found a way to drive the growth of the company with the help of generative AI. Over the past few years, the company has maintained a $19 billion revenue. While he hasn't yet managed to significantly increase the company's revenue, he has identified ways to potentially boost it by giving a modest 1%-3% hike and delaying promotions for 2-3 years. Additionally, he has set some impractical conditions, making it difficult for employees to receive promotions, even though he is the highest-paid Indian CEO. He seems to be bringing his previous company’s politics into his current organization. Meanwhile, employees continue to celebrate Ethnic Day as if they are attending his wedding. Ravi Kumar, you should understand that the promotion from PA to A is very necessary, and you're delaying it for more than 3-4 years? You must realize that we have families and can't survive in big cities with this package. If you can't increase our salaries, at least provide us with work-from-home options so we can manage within this budget. Please don't destroy Cognizant's culture. Anyone can post this on linkdin? Don't forget to mention Ravi kumar S.

From Nat Friedman’s personal site (former Github CEO)

Some things I believe: As human beings it is our right (maybe our moral duty) to reshape the universe to our preferences * Technology, which is really knowledge, enables this * You should probably work on raising the ceiling, not the floor Enthusiasm matters! * It's much easier to work on things that are exciting to you * It might be easier to do big things than small things for this reason * Energy is a necessary input for progress It's important to do things fast * You learn more per unit time because you make contact with reality more frequently * Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit * "Slow is fake" * A week is 2% of the year * Time is the denominator The efficient market hypothesis is a lie * At best it is a very lossy heuristic * The best things in life occur where EMH is wrong * In many cases it's more accurate to model the world as 500 people than 8 billion * "Most people are other people" We know less than we think * The replication crisis is not an aberration * Many of the things we believe are wrong * We are often not even asking the right questions The cultural prohibition on micromanagement is harmful * Great individuals should be fully empowered to exercise their judgment * The goal is not to avoid mistakes; the goal is to achieve uncorrelated levels of excellence in some dimension * The downsides are worth it Smaller teams are better * Faster decisions, fewer meetings, more fun * No need to chop up work for political reasons * No room for mediocre people (can pay more, too!) * Large-scale engineering projects are more soluble in IQ than they appear * Many tech companies are 2-10x overstaffed Where do you get your dopamine? * The answer is predictive of your behavior * Better to get your dopamine from improving your ideas than from having them validated * It's ok to get yours from "making things happen" You can do more than you think * We are tied down by invisible orthodoxy * The laws of physic
