Get the book here: amzn.to/2NSkKbf If you are an executive, business leader or manager, you probably want to improve your leadership development and management effectiveness to build a high performing and innovative team, and increase your KPIs. Here is the HUGE problem: Only 10% -15% of leaders are self-aware, but 95% think they are. 80% + of managers overestimate their abilities compared to others. It only gets worse the higher up you go. This results in 99% of teams underperforming. Your self-awareness challenge is a career killer. Everyone eventually hits their ceiling and plateaus. Few people do anything about it. Have you made significant progress in the past year? If not, you've hit the plateau. Most people stay there for years or decades. Here's the massive upside. You need a couple small changes to get exponential growth. You'll be operating in your area of enius. The fear, overwhelm and stress will disappear. You'll rocket past everyone to the top. jasontreu.com twitter.com/jasontreu www.linkedin.com/in/jasontreu

Your Ideas Are Terrible plans and executes corporate hackathons and corporate + startup collaboration programs. We believe that if you don’t approach every new idea with a high degree of humility – even to the extent of assuming your ideas are terrible – you lack the flexibility required to challenge your beliefs, examine evidence that might prove you wrong, and find the path from creating something mediocre to building something great.

WHAT IS PRIMER We build machines that read and write Organizations today face a problem. The amount of data we are collecting is growing exponentially. At the same time the number of human analysts who can read it is at best growing linearly. We require new ways to close this intelligence gap and accelerate our understanding of the world. Primer is a machine intelligence company that uses machine learning and natural language processing to automate the analysis of large datasets. We build systems that read documents, discover insights and automatically generate reports comparable to those of a human analyst. Our products are built on top of a core set of computational engines. Their architecture is modular by design, allowing for continuous development on our analytic pipeline. These engines allow our customers to process a diverse set of document types across multiple languages. They do the work of extracting information, identifying key insights, performing analysis at scale, and generating output as human-readable text and graphics. Before Primer, Sean was co-founder & CTO of Quid, an augmented-intelligence company. He holds a PhD in physics from Oxford, where his research as a Rhodes Scholar focused on complex systems and the mathematical patterns underlying modern war. He sits on the Board of Directors at Anadarko (NYSE:APC) and is a TED Fellow. https://primer.ai https://twitter.com/primer_ai
