As an employer, you know that striking the balance between being respected and being liked is a stunningly hard task. I would like to offer you a type of management that refuses this premise entirely. The most successful employers work with all their employees, and are often seated alongside their lowest tier employees.

Our digital universe is vast and growing exponentially, expected to swell to 44 zettabytes of data by 2020. (For reference, one zettabyte is 1,000,000,000,000 gigabytes.).

People don’t always make choices in their best interests. There are many examples: On average, Americans weigh 16 pounds more than their target body weights ; 68% of people save less for retirement than they intend to; and although 85% say they would like to be organ donors, only 28% are. Designing decisions in a way that nudges but does not force consumers to make better choices offers a way to alleviate many of society’s problems.

In the largest proposed deal of the year, AT&T reached an agreement to buy Time Warner. Some observers are skeptical, comparing the acquisition to the spectacularly failed AOL–Time Warner merger of 2000. Others say the new company will be a “powerhouse.” Will the outcome be different this time? AT&T’s stock is not massively overvalued, as AOL’s was.
