What Sets Genius Teams Apart

The most successful executive teams can achieve outsized outcomes, but
they can also be challenging to manage and be a part of. The author, a
psychologist who has worked with executive teams for over 20 years,
explains what sets the best teams apart — their members’ raw
capacity, the scale of their aspiration and achievement, and their
constant generative tension — and unpacks how to manage the latter
so that teams are productive, not destructive.

Dilip Rao didn't need to start a business. As an investment banker at
Credit Suisse, he was highly paid and good at his job. But on July 5,
2014, while crossing the street in Midtown Manhattan, the then
33-year-old newlywed was struck by a car. He suffered a concussion and
a handful of other injuries, which rendered him temporarily unable to

Night terrors, often known as sleep terrors, have a sure way of making
us feel rattled. After all, who wants to have anything other than
peaceful sleep? Unfortunately, for those of us experiencing night
terrors, undisturbed sleep is hardly ever achieved. Night terrors are
a form of sleep disturbance that occurs when your brain is partially
asleep and partially awake.

Taken near Kolwezi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a major
cobalt reserve, Pascal Maitre’s photos draw attention to the huge
appetite for this metal. This is driven by its high stability and
energy density, which make it suited for use in everything from
lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles to superalloys. The demand
has led to corporations setting up vast extraction operations in the
region, displacing villages.

Why the 2024 Chicago convention is not the 1968 convention - The

Democrats plan to convene in Chicago next week to celebrate as their
presidential candidate a sitting vice-president who did not win a
single primary vote. The candidate, a former senator, has a good
record on civil rights but is tied to the White House’s support for
an unpopular war. Kamala Harris may be no Hubert Humphrey, but the
parallels with the Democrats’ calamitous Chicago convention of 1968
have sharpened since she replaced President Joe Biden at the top of
the ticket. Party insiders ordained her, as they did Humphrey to
replace Lyndon Johnson, and like Humphrey she has yet to distance
herself from the president’s handling of a war that has infuriated
her party’s left.

Last month, after I published an article about the Republican
Vice-Presidential candidate J. D. Vance and his fixation on the
traditional nuclear family, I received an e-mail from Donna Morel, an
attorney in San Diego. Morel is a fact-checking hobbyistânotably, she
exposed major fabrications in best-selling books by the late celebrity
biographer C. David Heymann. After Donald Trump named Vance as his
running mate, Morel had begun looking closely at "Hillbilly Elegy,"
the 2016 memoir that brought Vance to national prominence and provided
the springboard for his foray into politics. Morel suspected that the
book was "a little too made for Hollywood," she told meâin 2020, it
was adapted into a movie starring Glenn Close and Amy Adamsâand she
wanted to see if her hunch was correct.

Traffic along some of Seattle’s stop-and-go streets is running a
little smoother after Google tested out a new machine-learning system
to optimize stoplight timing at five intersections. The company
launched this test as part of its Green Light pilot program in 2023 in
Seattle and a dozen other cities, including some notoriously congested
places such as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Kolkata, India. Across
these test sites, local traffic engineers use Green Light’s
suggestions—based on artificial intelligence and Google Maps
data—to adjust stoplight timing. Google intends for these changes to
curb waiting at lights while increasing vehicle flow across busy
throughways and intersections—and, ultimately, to reduce greenhouse
gases.

Take $150 off a set of Sony noise-canceling headphones, plus the rest
of the week's best tech deals
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=50636&nl=daily]  

Consider all of this more of a PSA than a true deal, as we still need
to actually review all of the new gear. We'll inevitably see discounts
in the coming months as well. But the Pixel 8s were our favorite
Android phones for most people last year, so there's at least reason
to be optimistic if you want to get in early. For now, you can read
our hands-on previews of the Pixel 9 series and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold
if you're curious to learn more.

There has been no reason given as to the indefinite hold. It’s
likely been an extremely expensive undertaking to translate the game
into VR, and this is at a time when reports indicate that the market
is shrinking. So that could be it.

Best of all, you don’t have to worry if your hours of creation are
in danger of being sacked and torn down by invading hordes or warring
factions. Based on this trailer, it looks like Tiny Glade is the
relaxing gaming equivalent of taking a long, warm bath.

None of the individual elements in my playthrough were wild, unique
things, but the way they connected and the level of polish to
everything made me very excited to play the full game. It felt like,
behind each turn of a page, there was a new little surprise just
waiting to make me smile. The Plucky Squire was originally slated for
a 2023 release, but is now due out on September 17. It's coming to
Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and will be
free on PlayStation Plus’ Extra and Premium tiers.

Fortnite returns to iOS in the EU as the Epic Games Store debuts on
mobile

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to dropping back into Fortnite, in part
because for the last several years my iPhone's nickname has been
Doctor Doom, aka the Marvel villain who is the central figure in the
new season. Also, I'm dearly hoping that in short order Epic gives the
people what they truly want: an emote of Chappell Roan's "Hot To Go!"
dance in Fortnite. I would gladly spend all the V-Bucks I have on
that.
