ADI IGNATIUS: I am Adi Ignatius. ALISON BEARD: I’m Alison Beard, and this is the HBR IdeaCast. ADI IGNATIUS: All right, Alison. So today we’re going to be talking about taking risks. We’re going to be talking about looking around corners, and we’re going to be talking about whether good leadership is ultimately more about instincts or about processes. This all comes from an interview I did with longtime Hollywood and Media entertainment industry executive Barry Diller. ALISON BEARD: I’m really looking forward to listening to this conversation because I covered IAC Barry Diller’s company when I was a junior…
How one tool turned burnout into a breakthrough Just a few months ago, Taylor, a 10th grade social studies teacher at a public school, was overwhelmed. Between changing curriculum, oversized classrooms, endless lesson preparation, and overloading management, she was almost maintaining her head above her head. She loved teaching, but the pressure was so exhausting. What about digital tools? That was a completely different story. “I’m not anti-technology,” she would often say, “I’m just short on time.” Like many educators, she has tried to use online tools previously, but most have either been too complicated or not tailored to her…

The government’s cavalier approach to security for its rapidly expanding digital governance and identity systems should be enough to give all UK citizens pause — if only they knew about it! Some time roughly a month ago, hackers broke into the UK’s Legal Aid Agency’s IT system and made off with a “significant amount of personal data” belonging to hundreds of thousands of legal aid applicants dating all the way back to 2010. That data, according to The Register, could include applicants’ contact details, home addresses, dates of birth, criminal histories, employment statuses, and financial data such as contribution amounts,…

In two Econlog posts (“Reduced Press Freedom in Canada”, August 24, 2021, “Reduced Press Freedom in Canada, Part 2”, December 14, 2021), I documented the fact that Justin Trudeau’s federal government will subsidize journalism. This is an attack on freedom of the press. As I wrote in an article on this same issue in 1971, freedom of the press does not guarantee that the media subs will subsidize your reporting more than guarantees the larynx where freedom of speech works. When the government subsidizes the press, it must choose who to grant. In principle, it is the same as collecting…
Rents are high, and childcare is getting even more expensive. So, where can renters with children catch a break? Americans are having fewer children. A leading reason? Childcare is too expensive. In fact, 40% of families struggle to find an affordable option. The typical family spends between 9% and 16% of their annual income on full-day care for just one child. The government considers spending anything over 7% of a household’s annual income on childcare unaffordable. In some cases, childcare costs more than rent, a mortgage, or even college tuition. Childcare prices have jumped 263% since 1990, nearly double the…
