November is here, bringing a shift into year-end planning, new industry insights, and plenty of innovation across the tech landscape In this edition of ARC Reads we continue to share the latest tech and business articles that have piqued our interest.
If Trust Is So Important, Why Aren’t We Measuring It? -Ask senior executives whether trust is an important part of leadership and you’ll get emphatic agreement that it is. In my interviews with over 70 senior leaders across multiple sectors, every CEO I spoke with affirmed that leadership trust was foundational to positive outcomes such as employee performance, customer loyalty, profitability, and innovation.

Embracing AI: Are You a Doomer, Gloomer, Zoomer, or Bloomer? - Artificial intelligence draws out four kinds of people, said tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman. He calls them doomers, gloomers, zoomers, and bloomers. Which one are you?

Frustration festers. Performance stagnates. More on company culture here.
