7 Time-Proven Strategies for Dealing With Information Overload. A prominent researcher writes “information overload is a problem of the times.”
What’s causing that overload? “At present in the world there are about 55,000 scientific journals publishing about 1,200,000 articles a year. Also about 60,000 books and 100,000 other research reports are issued annually . The sheer physical bulk of scientific and technical publications appearing in the United States has doubled approximately every 20 years since 1800.” The researcher then counsels that “since people can’t blow a fuse…they must adjust.” A recent blog post? Even in that age pre-dating personal computers, the Internet, and iPads, people were overloaded by information. More recently, researchers W. What can we do to deal with the information tide? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Over the years, self-help and management guidebooks have dedicated significant attention to queuing, employing multiple channels and approximation as ways of improving information processing.

The Clayman Institute for Gender Research. Study shows gender bias in science is real. Here’s why it matters.
It’s tough to prove gender bias.
In a real-world setting, typically the most we can do is identify differences in outcome. A man is selected for hire over a woman; fewer women reach tenure track positions; there’s a gender gap in publications. Bias may be suspected in some cases, but the difficulty in using outcomes to prove it is that the differences could be due to many potential factors. We can speculate: perhaps women are less interested in the field. Perhaps women make lifestyle choices that lead them away from leadership positions. The only way to do that would be by a randomized controlled experiment. But in a groundbreaking study published in PNAS last week by Corinne Moss-Racusin and colleagues, that is exactly what was done. The scientists also offered lower starting salaries to the “female” applicants: $26,507.94 compared to $30,238.10. This is really important. We are not talking about equality of outcomes here; this result shows bias thwarts equality of opportunity.
Expert Project Management: Project Manager to Project Leader? - Decision Making. Introduction | Evolution | Definition | Leader vs.
Manager Project Life Cycle | Team Building | Decision Making | Conclusions According to Dilenschneider,[15] the power of consent is gaining significance and is a rapidly emerging force of importance to leaders, just as consensus is waning. Consent can be driven by genuine humanitarian motives, but can also be driven by self-interest, or both, especially when consent hinges on the self-interest side of humanitarian or humanistic concerns. However, viewed from the perspective of members of a project team living in a world of self-interest, they are more efficient than ever in deciding what is in their own self-interest. They will say: First give me a good reason to buy into such-and-such a decision. Therefore, in the interests of effectiveness or efficiency, consensus will remain a vital tool for dealing with visionary and strategic issues, requiring more effort spent in gathering intelligence.
