2022-06-19 07:34:59 Issue #340 | A Guide to Value Investing

Two weeks ago, in issue 326 of One Daily Nugget, we featured a Harvard Business Review article by Bill Gates about his good friend, Warren Buffett.

A disciple of Benjamin Graham, Buffet has long followed the principles of “value investing.” Rather than betting on which company may become the “next big thing,” value investors look for stocks that are deeply undervalued at current prices.

2022-06-18 07:35:00 Issue #339 | Why and How to Be Radically Candid as a Leader

According to an old saying, “If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.” In today’s nugget, published by First Round Review, Kim Scott, co-founder of Candor, argues that, to become an effective leader, you need to do the exact opposite!

Recalling an episode in which Sheryl Sandberg bluntly told her that saying “um” during presentations makes her “sound stupid,” Scott concludes that radical candor is not only effective but also the kindest thing a leader can do for her subordinates. After all, if Sandberg had sugar-coated her pointer, Scott would have kept brushing it off as a minor issue, never addressed it, and hurt herself in the long term.

But how do you apply radical candor without offending your colleagues? Read on to learn more!

Like many Nuggeteers, you probably lead a busy life and, with so much to do, learn, and accomplish, find it tempting to cut back on your sleep occasionally to “gain” precious time.

As CNBC’s Zameena Mejia argues in today’s nugget, however, citing a study by Zlatan Krizan and Garrett Hisler, sleep loss plays “a causal role in shaping anger.”

Next time you deal with a co-worker or acquaintance who seems irritable, consider if lack of sleep might be to blame. And, importantly, avoid skimping on sleep yourself!
