Curator Notes

Paul's Update is a resource providing lifelong learning for leaders. It is curated by Paul McConaughy.

McConaughy reads to cut down on how much you have to do. Generally, each days blog has 8 articles.

From across all the days articles, 150 – 250 are digitally selected. McConaughy then goes through the 150-250 to pick the 8 to be included. He reads every article he posts.

Articles come from the categories: leadership, work, innovation, creativity, the future, and occasional sparks of brilliance.

McConaughy's selection criteria are: stimulating: encouraging or arousing interest or enthusiasm; reasonable: not extreme or excessive, fair, make sense; logical: have valid reasoning; useful: information rich; defensible: arguable, justifiable, may be proved wrong someday but not today

The description in Paul's Update is always linked to the full article.
