Recruiter Mimi VerLoren van Themaat: in this candidate-driven market, the chances while interviewing a candidate are high that they are currently also in other processes, perhaps even at your competitor. Three tips on how to deal with this.

Whether you’re a leader, engineer or someone else who isn’t usually associated with “getting to know the customer”, there’s no excuse for not talking to your audience.
The Problem of False Predictability — itamargilad.com
Doing hard-to-predict things in a company that demands predictability is a recipe for waste and pain. Product development requires a different path.
Make New Year’s resolutions you can actually keep
It’s that time of year again — when seemingly every advertisement, social media post, or well-meaning loved one is quick to remind you how you’re due for a refresh, a restart, a rebrand. Self-improvement is difficult any time of year, but you may feel extra pressure to embark on a life change at the top of the new year.
