FT: [Jeffrey Pfeffer’s] new book, published this summer, is called 7 Rules of Power: Surprising — but True — Advice on How to Get Things Done and Advance Your Career. His seven rules are: get out of your own way — that is, speak with confidence and do not undersell yourself, break the rules — do the unexpected, show up in powerful fashion — with conscious body language and actual language, create a powerful brand, network relentlessly, use your power — do not be afraid to wield power once you have it, [and] finally, remember that “success excuses (almost) everything” — the powerful attract and retain support.”
WSJ on SMS: “Messaging—whether via traditional SMS texting or apps such as WhatsApp or Signal—makes communicating faster, more efficient and fun. Over 80% of people in the U.S. read their texts within 15 minutes of receiving them. At least, that’s according to a January survey commissioned by EZ Texting, an online platform that provides texting tools for companies. Messaging apps are no longer a place just for close friends and family; they’re now also where we sync with class parents, business contacts and every expected attendee of the coming family reunion.”
