Vulnerability (A Mini TED Remix)

/

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. Introverts and extroverts (and even ambiverts) need to learn how to embrace who they are while simultaneously allowing themselves to be vulnerable.   

Susan Cain’s TED Talk on The Power of Introverts comes directly from this year’s TED. Brené Brown’s 2010 TEDxHouston talk The Power of Vulnerability led to her delivering the closing talk of this year’s conference, expanding on themes she explored above. 

To learn more check out Cain’s Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking and Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are.

True Innovation

/

Innovation and the Bell Labs Miracle by Jon Gertner - NYTimes.com:

But to consider the legacy of Bell Labs is to see that we should not mistake small technological steps for huge technological leaps. It also shows us that to always “move fast and break things,” as Facebook is apparently doing, or to constantly pursue “a gospel of speed” (as Google has described its philosophy) is not the only way to get where we are going. Perhaps it is not even the best way. Revolutions happen fast but dawn slowly. To a large extent, we’re still benefiting from risks that were taken, and research that was financed, more than a half century ago.
