Karriere- und Leadership-Tipps vom besten CEO der Welt Frank Slootman hat mit Data Domain, Service Now und Snowflake drei milliardenschwere Softwarefirmen hochskaliert und an die Börse gebracht. Er gilt als bester Software-CEO der Welt. Das sind die top Karrieretips aus seinem Buch AMP IT UP. "We all need to be careful what “elevator” we get into early in our careers. Some go up, some go down, some don't move. It's largely beyond our control, so choose wisely. We have seen staggering examples of this phenomenon in Silicon Valley. Anybody who spent the last 20 years at Google, Amazon, or Apple would have done spectacularly well, regardless of their individual merit. And anyone who stayed with companies like IBM and HP would have stagnated during that period." "We coped in ways I have used ever since: hire people ahead of their own curve. Hire more for aptitude than experience and give people the career opportunity of a lifetime. They will be motivated and driven, with a cannot‐fail attitude. The good ones would grab the opportunity to accelerate their careers with us." "I would sometimes say in all‐hands meetings that I was personally committed to help each of our employees reach a different station in life as a function of the company's fortunes. In exchange, I was asking for the best they had to offer. That was the deal: we do the best we can for each other. People sometimes gave me an incredulous look: a CEO who is saying that his goal is to elevate our fortunes? Seriously? Yes, and our companies proved it. Sometimes years after a staffer had moved on, I would still receive an email expressing their appreciation for how much our company had changed their life's trajectory." "Not everyone has this visceral sense of contest, especially at companies that shield their people from the real stakes at hand. When leaders fail to explain the industry landscape, employees don't feel the cold winds of competition. Their jobs and paychecks feel secure, but that's an illusion. Good leaders explain that none of us are ever truly safe in our roles for any length of time. If this fact makes people uncomfortable, that's good."

Maybe a small hack for my network. I am lucky to receive a good inbound flow of angel investment opportunities, but am not able to invest into all of the teams. Whenever I am unable to do so, I instead refer them to this URL instead: https://lnkd.in/eyfWEKz3 Thank you Jan Thomas for facilitating this with your Startup Insider team!

Lieber besser vorher die #User #Community fragen, bevor man #große #Deals abschließt, um mit ihren Daten #AI zu trainieren: "#Stack #Overflow users sabotage their posts after #OpenAI deal Anti-AI users who change or delete answers in protest are being punished." "I hate this. I'm just going to delete/deface my answers one by one," wrote one user on sister site Stack Exchange. "I don't care if this is against your silly policies, because as this announcement shows, your policies can change at a whim without prior consultation of your stakeholders. You don't care about your users, I don't care about you." https://lnkd.in/emqQSkk9

We enjoyed the #PlatformCon kick-off with Kelsey Hightower and Kaspar Von Grünberg! Our key takeaways: - Abstractions are the key to creating successful platforms! - Developers should interact with the platform through a well-defined API, e.g. portal, CLI, REST API, IDE/editor plugin, etc - With appropriate APIs, contracts, and boundaries, Silos with organisations can be beneficial in enabling work to get done (think modular design that embraces the "single responsibility principle" with small batches, a fast flow, and a good feedback mechanism) - Always provide a "happy (golden) path" for developers to get access to platform services and capabilities - Over time, the difference between on-prem and cloud will disappear. Focus on the APIs and workflow (think IaC++)

The first project that gets all my attention focuses on Commercial Excellence in the pharmaceutical industry. As a cancer survivor, this has been both exciting and encouraging for me. 🎀 The innovation being driven by new technology even in its various intricate regulatory restriction, is truly astonishing. The future promises a more integrated healthcare system. I strongly believe in incorporating more holistic approaches into #healthcare. A #DigitalTwin could change how we think about next best actions in a way that makes sense for the industry and is the best for the patient. Bringing conversations like this to the forefront, especially with experts from #Grünenthal, #Pfzier, #Bayer and other pace setters in this industry, is very enlightening. #GenerativeAI, makes me more confident than ever that there is a better way to do things. This is a great step forward in getting to understand those limitations and possibilities. Looking forward to learning more and onboarding great minds!
