  How does a child become an NBA player?The oft-cited 10,000-Hour rule, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book Outliers, gives one path forward: practice incredibly frequently. Using The Beatles’ early career in Germany, and Bill Gates’ childhood in front of a computer as examples, Gladwell asserts that 10,000 hours spent on specialized practice will result in expertise, and perhaps greatness, in the subject.Ten thousand hours is a lot of hours, though. Let’s generously

  Technology is influencing the culture of your workplace. The question is: Will it create intended positive results or sidetrack the organization’s mission?Powerful tools are giving leaders a deeper understanding of their organization’s culture and work dynamics. They also provide a way to get ahead of issues that could handicap success.We see this as an emerging field of “culture technology,” a multidisciplinary, science-based approach to improve workplace culture.

  Why do you go to basketball games? Is it to see who will win? Or to watch the action, and have a good time?Most of the time, the NBA appeals to both groups. It’s a fascinating competition, the kind of sport we at The Tribune can dedicate two beat writers to. There are matchup questions, coaching chess matches, and competitive one-on-one battles. But it’s also undeniably fun: a fast-paced sport with feats of top-tier athleticism. Mascots and cheerleaders entertain. Even after losses,
