So when a new experimental study is published and I find out that the subjects are all American undergrads, I tend to discount the results because of my suspicions about limited applicability. Here's a paper that sheds light on how much I should be discounting.

Then I revisited Gino et al.'s research on receiving advice. We're more likely to heed costly advice from confident experts under difficult circumstances. We're less likely to heed advice if we're feeling powerful, competitive, and angry. Obviously, there's more to it than that, which is why you should read these articles.

It's time to revisit. Michael Mauboussin has written a new book, The Success Equation (2012), that looks at attempts to untangle the role of skill versus luck.

It's in the mould of Richard Farson's Management of the Absurd (1997): the story of a practitioner who, somewhat reluctantly, gets thrust into a position of administrative authority and subsequently reflects on the experience. Maeda is an artist and designer, two things that are vital to innovating businesses. So he is well placed to provide some interesting insights on how leadership is evolving. Here are some recent talks on the subject.

That is why I develop teaching tools to help executives cope with biases, blind-spots, and mental traps. That's also why I offer advice on a take-it-or-leave-it basis and remain stoical when execs choose to leave it. That said, the "analytical amateurism" of charismatic leaders and overconfident bosses has become a serious decision-making problem in large organisations.
