D. B. Weiss Quotes

Progress in a globally interdependent society relies more than ever on the unimpeded flow of information.

There's a lot that's wrong with the way we work - bad habits that develop around control of information, people hoarding information as a means of preserving their own power. When you're using Slack, everyone can see what's going on because the default mode is public.

When you have more than two people working together, it gets a bit unfocused as an idea.

You have to have access to ideas. The Internet is facilitating that access to ideas. In 25 years, the way that data's going to flow back and forth, we don't quite understand yet.

Communicate, communicate, and then communicate some more.

I have a running conversation with a couple of colleagues. Mike Schmidt's one of them; some on my White House team are others; Alex Burns on the politics team is another. That just helps me not lose my place, right? We're just constantly talking about what we're hearing and where things are.

I like having as many team-mates as possible. It's great, because the more people you can learn off, the better I think it will make you as a driver.

When you have a small, balanced squad, you can work better. First of all everyone is involved in every squad list, a meeting can be a good training session.

It's great to communicate as a team.

Every day, I absorb countless data bits through emails, phone calls, and articles; process the data; and transmit back new bits through more emails, phone calls, and articles. I don't really know where I fit into the great scheme of things and how my bits of data connect with the bits produced by billions of other humans and computers.

Communication isn't just directing a guy on what to do: it's passing the information along to the guy that's next to you, and that's where we make the calls come to life.

In a nine-piece-band is one guy gonna call up eight guys and have a 45-minute discussion about every decision? No. So things are a lot more democratic in Stone Sour. Plus, we're closer and it's a lot easier to communicate. In Slipknot that's the big problem - communication.

If you don't share information among your startup's team, then it'll be just about a coincidence if product, marketing, and engineering are ever aligned. Those odds are too low to succeed.

My work at NASA has always been about team efforts, and so it's intrinsically about mentoring. I have been blessed with some brilliant colleagues who were able to take on huge challenges without a lot of guidance.

The strongest human instinct is to impart information, the second strongest is to resist it.

One of the great things about having good players in your band is that you just ask them questions. You can pick up some good information that way.

Communication does not always occur naturally, even among a tight-knit group of individuals. Communication must be taught and practiced in order to bring everyone together as one

Second, you need to spread the large amount of information knowledge that you've gained-pooping like an elephant. This means sharing information and discoveries with your fellow employees and occasionally even with your competitors.

We are stronger when we listen,and smarter when we share.

Teamwork doesn't come naturally. It must be taught.

Communication works for those who work at it.

Learn to work with people you wouldn't go to lunch with.

It doesn't matter how much we know, it matters how clearly others can understand what we know.

Working with people is what I like to do. I don't feel intimidated. I always go in prepared. When you're not prepared, that's when you feel uncomfortable.

I couldn't be a one-woman show, since I wouldn't have anybody to bounce off from. Once you're out there, dribbling on, you have nobody to interrupt you. I love being part of a company, and telling a story.
