How success stories mislead us

How success stories mislead us How success stories mislead us If a mathematician hadn’t followed his contrarian instincts, World War II may have turned out differently.Abraham Wald was born in Hungary, got his Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Vienna, and immigrated to the United States after the Nazis invaded Austria. During World War II, he worked for the Statistical Research Group, which was tasked with applying math to solve various problems that came up during the war.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!  One question concerned how to better protect American warplanes flying over enemy territory. These planes would take serious fire, with some returning home and others crashing and burning.Wald had to determine where to put extra armor on the planes to ensure fewer of them were shot down. In the planes that had safely returned home, the bullet holes were clustered mostly on the fuselage, but not on the engines.Knowing this information, where would you put the armor?The answer might appear obvious: Put more armor in places with the visible damage, where the planes are taking the most flack. This was the approach the military wanted to follow.But Wald thought the right approach was the exact opposite. The extra armor, he argued, should go where the bullet holes are  missing- not where they are present.Wald saw something concealed in everyone else’s blind spot. He realized they were looking only at the planes that had survived enemy fire and safely returned home- not at the planes that crashed and burned.In other words, the bullet holes on the surviving planes showed where the planes were  strongest, not the  weakest.  After all, these planes could be turned into Swiss cheese with bullets to their fuselage and still survive. The most vulnerable part of the plane was the engine, which showed no damage at all on the surviving planes. They weren’t seeing any holes on the engines- not because the planes weren’t getting shot there- but because the planes that  were  hit there didn’t return home.So Wald proposed bulking up the armor on the engines. His proposal was quickly implemented and also later used in wars in Vietnam and Korea.This story holds important lessons that expand far beyond warfare. In our daily lives, we focus on success stories- the surviving airplanes- and try to emulate them. Pick a random business book from the non-fiction aisle, and chances are that you’ll find a formula for winning the business game by following the lead of today’s mega successful entrepreneurs.But this approach can be deeply misleading. We’re seeing only the survivors- not the failures who took bullets to their engine and never returned home. The aspiring entrepreneur who moved to Silicon Valley to pursue a start-up only to fail doesn’t make the cover of Fast Company. The man who tried and failed to lose weight on the Jenny Craig diet doesn’t appear on the infomercial. The colle ge dropout who was mesmerized by the likes of Steve Jobs and left behind a promising education to pursue a dead-end doesn’t make the news.For two main reasons, the success stories you  do  see are far less valuable than they appear. First, the story might be a perfectly curated portrayal that covers up all of the bullet holes (see, for example, most celebrities’ Instagram accounts).Second, even if the failures are revealed- and the success story involves overcoming some form of adversity and emerging victorious in the end- the damage was often sustained in the fuselage where the armor is the strongest. Their engine was never hit. So if you strictly follow their approach- but take one wrong bullet in the wrong place- you’ll crash and burn.This doesn’t mean we should ignore success stories. Rather, it means we should take them with a serious grain of salt. It also means that we should spend more time learning from failures. This requires an active approach since the survivors tend to have a monopoly on media coverage. Read  the story  of a self-published author who made only $3,000 from selling 11,000 books. Listen to  this podcast episode  with Sahil Lavingia and learn from his failed attempt to build a billion-dollar company. Find the people in your field who actually took bullets to their engine, crashed and burned, and then rose from the debris to build a stronger plane with the extra armor in the right places.Keep in mind: What’s often called the “industry best practice” isn’t the best practice at all. It often consists of people putting extra armor in the most obvious spots.So look where others aren’t looking. Catch yourself when you’re about to be captivated by a success story. Remind yourself that you’re not seeing the entire sample set. Keep asking,  What am I missing?Above all, don’t get distracted by the obvious bullet holes. The vulnerabilities may be hiding under a deceptively untarnished surface.Ozan Varol is a rocket scient ist turned law professor and bestselling author.  Click here  to download a free copy of his e-book, The Contrarian Handbook: 8 Principles for Innovating Your Thinking.

These maps show where Americans struggle to afford a home

These maps show where Americans struggle to afford a home These maps show where Americans struggle to afford a home The single biggest expense in most people’s budgets is for housing. Whether renters or homeowners, personal finance experts agree that a housing payment should ideally be no more than 30% of income. If you spend more than that, the government considers housing to be a financial burden. So what does the situation look like across the country?We found the numbers for our maps from the Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) at Harvard University, which publishes an annual analysis of housing trends and figures. We created a series of heat maps corresponding to the metro areas where a significant share of the population (25% or more) face a burden to pay for housing.Top 10 metro areas where Americans struggle to afford their homes1) Los Angeles, CA: 46.7%2) Miami, FL: 45.7%3) San Diego, CA: 43.2%4) New York, NY: 43%5) San Bernardino, CA: 42.9%6) Fresno, CA: 41.2%7) Ventura, CA: 40.4%8) Honolulu, HI: 40.3%9) Bridgeport, CT: 38.9%10) Bakersfield, CA: 38.8%An obvious trend is immediately obvious looking across the entire country: housing burdens are significantly more prevalent on the coasts as compared to the Midwest and the South, and in particular California and the Northeast. Don’t get us wrong - housing burdens are in every region. But in fact, 6 out of the Top 10 metro areas with the highest percentage of people burdened by housing costs are in California, topping out at 46.7% in Los Angeles. That means almost every other person is struggling to keep a roof over their head in LA. Clearly these places have incredibly high demand for housing combined with comparatively low incomes for most people.Taking a closer look at the Southwest reveals the extent of the problem. Stretching from San Francisco along the Pacific toward San Diego, between 30-45%+ of the population struggle to pay for housing. San Jose represents a fascinating case study of inequality. The average household income is $109,200, and yet 36.5% of people have trouble paying for their homes. In a word, that’s due to gentrification. People with high-paying jobs in Silicon Valley can afford to pay expensive prices, but that drives up the prices for everybody else too.The situation is similar across pockets of the Northeast, in particular in the greater New York and Boston areas. Places like Bridgeport, CT have comparably high average household incomes ($89,700) but shockingly high figures for housing cost burdens (38.9%). Let’s spare a thought for Pittsburgh, though, where the average household makes significantly less at $55,000 and 25.3% of the population struggles to pay for housing. These numbers hint at the pockets of poverty that exist in old manufacturing centers.Speaking of the Rustbelt, take a look across the Midwest. Chicago immediately stands out as the place with the highest share of housing burdens at 35.0%, which is several points above every other metro area in the region. The city with the highest average incomes is further north in Minneapolis-St. Paul a t $71,700. The relatively low rates of housing burdens combined with reasonable income levels make us believe the Midwest is the best overall place for housing in the country.Taking a look across the South demonstrates a slightly worse situation than the Midwest. There are clearly several metro areas with significant problems, notably Virginia Beach (35.2%), New Orleans (36.2%), Orlando (37.6%) and Miami (45.7%). But what stands out to us is actually McAllen, TX, along the US-Mexico border. 31.8% of the population struggle to pay for housing on average incomes of only $36,700. These numbers indicate a severe level of poverty combined with a shortage in affordable living spaces.There are two sides to the equation when it comes to affordable housing: income levels and housing costs. Expensive housing may in itself not be a burden if everyone has enough money to support the market. And making relatively little money doesn’t necessarily mean someone is burdened by housing costs if it takes only a couple hundred dollars to pay the rent. Unfortunately, there’s been significant pressure on both sides of the equation. As the JCHS notes, “The national median rent rose 20 percent faster than overall inflation between 1990 and 2016 and the median home price rose 41 percent faster.” And over the last 20 years, inflation-adjusted median household incomes have only barely grown to about $59,000. The combination of rising housing costs and stagnant wage growth indicates that the crisis in affordable housing will endure for many more years.Data: Table 1.1This article first appeared on HowMuch.

The key to talent acquisition Job training programs for hidden talent

The key to talent acquisition Job training programs for hidden talent The key to talent acquisition Job training programs for hidden talent With the tightest labor market the United States has seen in 50 years, and the average cost inflicted on employers for long-term job vacancies at more than $800,000 a year, HR departments are jostling for qualified candidates to meet labor requirements. But a persistent skills gap â€" and an unemployment rate hovering near 3% â€" is hitting businesses large and small.Job openings have outnumbered Americans seeking work for the 13th straight month â€" there are 1.28 million more available jobs than unemployed people. Employers looking to fill open roles are in a bind. To fill vacancies maiming productivity, they need to find training programs that divert from traditional hiring pools.These are three key aspects to look for when choosing a new talent acquisition program for your company.Jump into new hiring poolsIf your company is struggling to fill vacancies, it is time to shake up where you are looking for talent. Look beyond individuals from top colleges or those who fit the exact l evel of experience and education level you typically adhere to. In fact, many successful companies, like Apple and Google, no longer require employees to have college degrees at all. Journey towards individuals who aren’t a “cookie-cutter fit” or are otherwise overlooked, such as opportunity youth, military veterans, and their spouses. Find employees from the communities where your business has a presence.I founded a nonprofit, Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS), to help Corporate America find this “hidden” talent. Through partnerships with organizations seeking to diversify their workforce, WOS develops and nurture the skills of talent from underserved communities. The idea came from a student who took my tech management course at Columbia University. We started a program helping individuals in Harlem, where almost a third of households had incomes below the federal poverty level, find and maintain jobs. It was free, and we were successful in finding people not just job s, but careers. Research showed that the talent was there, they just needed the training, mentorship, and support, as well as self-confidence, to secure and hold onto their jobs.Clear the path to successReceiving more than just technical (hard-skills) training is imperative to success when comparing talent acquisition alternatives. Does the program remove barriers and clear the path to success for future employees? Those who go through the WOS program receive training in professionalism, business communications, and interpersonal skills. Employees need both hard and soft skills to succeed. They also receive health insurance and stipends as a part of the program. To invest in long-term success, our candidates must have their short-term financial needs met. To address this gap, WOS sometimes goes further to bridge the gaps of the economic divide. We’ve paid for WiFi so candidates can complete training courses at home, childcare to ensure the individual can make it to work or class, transportation stipends and college tuition, enabling individuals to get their bachelor degrees.The cost of higher education has skyrocketed 213% in the past 30 years â€" it has become so cost prohibitive that its a luxury most simply cannot afford. Americans with a bachelor’s degree earned less in real terms than in 1990, diminishing its perceived value. Pivot once again and go back to basics. Utilize workforce development organizations that pair potential employees with one-off courses or boot camps specific to a skill set. In seeking talent to fill vacant IT positions, power company PSEG enlisted WOS’ expertise to find and develop talent from underserved communities in New York City.The corporation and nonprofit are partnering with General Assembly to provide coding instruction, a $15,000 value per person, free of cost to nine individuals taking the course. Mohammad Khan, a 23-year-old from the Bronx, graduated from a high school with just an 18 percent graduation rate. He is now being trained to be an IT specialist for PSEG. Another participant, 24-year-old Amro Manaa, said his greatest barrier of entry to working in tech was the cost associated with learning to code.Absorb the riskCorporations are starved for good talent but they are resistant to risk. Every time a business replaces a salaried employee, it costs 6 to 9 months’ salary on average to replace them. They are hesitant to pour resources into a new employee they are unsure to be cut out for a corporate environment. That risk aversion to hiring out of the ordinary pool could be to the company’s peril.A third-party training provider needs to first transform the talent to meet the needs of a potential employer and then absorb all of the risks of hiring a new employee, which can be accomplished by providing a trial period for each potential new hire. For the initial six to 12 months, the company itself does not employ the employee, rather the training organization is the official employer. Th e training provider administers the benefits, i.e. health insurance, additional professional development opportunities, and organizes a case manager to alleviate any HR situations and provide mentorship support. At the end of the trial period, the corporation can choose to hire the candidate as a full-time employee.Hewlett-Packard (HP), one of the leading global software companies, started its partnership with WOS to recruit and train veterans for vacant IT roles. Upon the program’s completion, all participants, including the attrition reserve, were hired on full-time, with a 100 percent retention rate by the end of the first year. This program saved the software company $150,000 in new hire expenses.Dr. Langer is the director of the Center for Technology Management at Columbia University and founder of Workforce Opportunity Services, a nonprofit committed to developing the skills of untapped talent from underserved and veteran communities through partnerships with organizations d edicated to diversifying their workforce.
