"Theory, in other words, isn’t the opposite of practice; it’s what practice becomes once it’s generalised." Great piece if you - like most #management scholars - try to balance #interdisciplinarity, #theory, and #practice in your work aeon.co/essays/four-...

Great piece by @angeladuckworth.bsky.social re: asking for help is a skill. Very true in #entrepreneurship: founders operate in #networks that shape their opportunities and strategies. Being able to ask for help - and provide it to others - drives this network's value. tinyurl.com/44rs3v5u

Great view of #institutions as “social technologies” that scale trust from small groups to nations by @jliep.bsky.social. Tl;dr - institutions reduce coordination problems to the task of managing small groups of "guardians". But they only work where #socialcapital is strong. tinyurl.com/4yb2vasx

Strong ties are valuable, but how do we build them? Janice McCabe at @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social suggests strong ties form when your identity is shifting (new parent, new city, new passion) and others are, too. For deeper connections, find spaces that match who you’re becoming. tinyurl.com/y3fk8h88
