One of the nice things about working for myself is that I can choose not to work with miserable buggers. I'm happier in my role, and my clients get better results.
Alex M H Smith@smithesq

In every consultant / client relationship, it is essential the two parties actually like each other on a personal level. The compounding influence that has over the quality of the work and end results is RADICALLY under-appreciated.

@dougsmarshall Indeed. Yesterday I opened up a Blue Sky account for my personal mumblings (football, music, cricket etc) and will wind down my "other" account on here. Not currently sure whether there's much value in setting up a Blue Sky equivalent of this B2B work account right now, though.

@davetrott Thanks. Years back I used to run grad recruitment at the agency I worked for in which I ran a section entitled "What is an idea?" This generated all kinds of esoteric nonsense until I did the reveal: "an idea is a solution to a problem".

The conspiracy theorist in me fully expects my tweet distribution to be throttled because I've toggled-off the permission. Pfft.

Peter Thiel: "I’d rather be seen as evil than incompetent." It's the far-right billionaire's most telling phrase. Thiel wants us to think he's an evil genius, because he wants us to think he's a genius. 1/

@FinanceDirCFO In the 1990s John Major ducked the question by setting up a Royal Commission into pensions, which reported after he'd left Number 10. Gordon Brown then...changed the tax treatment of company pensions thus pretty much signalling the end of them. They're all as bad as each other.

@simon_hayhurst Precisely. And that's why we can't trust politicians to do the right thing. Irrespective of party, they all want to kick it down the road until it becomes someone else's problem. The only option is for much higher pension contributions by employees and employers, not lower ones.

Always amazed by stories like this. The problem isn't that public sector pensions are too high, it's that private sector pensions are *far* too low for a comfortable retirement. This approach just loads extra social costs onto future generations and is ultimately self-defeating
Charles Knight@Charlesknight

The problem with this idea is that in many of the areas that the right-wing press think are "proper", if you degrade the overall package then you aren't going to get the people I need. 1/2

@FinanceDirCFO If we're going to live longer, we're all going to have to do a combination of: - working longer - paying more in - drawing less out Political suicide for any party that implements it, but what other choice is there?

@FinanceDirCFO My daughter doesn't have a company final salary pension, so will have to make up the "difference" herself. In many ways, this is as it should be - ultimately we're all making up everyone else's pension shortfall in any case, one way or another. So what's the solution?

LinkedIn really is sliding rapidly downhill in the desperate search to drive clicks rather than by adding value to its user experience. Latest dumb bot-driven clickbait post below from my LinkedIn feed. @doctorow: the growth-at-expense-of-UX is just like you've been predicting.

Their stories might not make the "Aren't I Amazing?" bestseller list, but they might be more instructive for the rest of us trying to make the best of whatever talents we possess.

Would be interesting to know which successful people - either in business or elsewhere - you think might fall into this category?

Contrarian view: most people who are wildly successful are outliers who have some talent but are also hugely lucky, so lots of folk who follow their path will fail.
