Why Some Digital Companies Should Delay Profitability for as Long as They Can

Harvard Business Review

Nicholas Blechman for HBR. When most of the great companies of the industrial era were founded, even the most brilliant economists believed deeply in the law of diminishing marginal returns. At its core, the principle means that the more of something that is made, the less valuable each incremental unit of that something becomes. If there were one pound of chocolate in the entire world, only the wealthiest individuals could afford to taste its unique flavor.

10 Ways to Keep the “Favorite” Pastor Hat

Ron Edmondson

I once read that leadership expert Peter Drucker once said the hardest jobs in America (not necessarily in order) are President of the United States, university presidents, hospital administrators and pastors. I don’t know about most of those, but I talk to struggling pastors weekly. I can believe it makes the list. Having been in the business and political worlds, and now as a pastor, I definitely know the hardest job I’ve ever done is being a pastor.

Gig Work Doesn’t Have to Be Isolating and Unstable

Harvard Business Review

With the rise of the so-called “gig economy” has come debate about how companies treat the people who “work” for them.

Will President Trump Learn on the Job?

Harvard Business Review

Donald Trump’s first 100 days as U.S. president are over. On 10 things he promised to achieve in that span that required legislation to enact, he came up empty, despite Republicans controlling both houses of Congress.
