A leader’s guide to telling it like it is
We need to talk Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Leaders are often overwhelmed by information, whether it comes through torrents of emails or during seemingly endless meetings. “In our efforts to connect across our organizations, we’re drowning in real-time virtual interaction technology,” observe McKinsey senior partner Aaron De Smet and coauthors in a report on their research. “Interacting is easier than ever, but true, productive, value-creating collaboration is not.” Lack of effective communication can contribute to the problem—leaders rarely take the time to craft brief, authentic messages that cut through information overload and advance organizational objectives. A back-to-basics approach can help.
In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations were tasked with conveying complex and sometimes conflicting information to diverse audiences. We noted back then that “the fundamental tools of effective communication still work”: offering clear, simple, and frequent messages; choosing candor over charisma; and helping people build resilience to get through the crisis. Postpandemic, the same techniques can help leaders manage through uncertain times and gain the trust of employees and external stakeholders. Organizational changes can benefit from a well-planned communications strategy—for example, honest messaging can go a long way toward making business transformations successful. In challenging situations such as mergers, “communications should be genuine and transparent,” suggest McKinsey senior partner Oliver Engert and colleagues. “Employees value having difficult messages communicated in a direct way.”
That’s roughly how many more times management teams blame rather than credit external events—such as inflation, political upheavals, or regulatory changes—for company performance. “In good times and terrible ones, companies across industries tend to talk a lot more about headwinds than tailwinds,” observe McKinsey senior partner Ryan Davies and colleagues in their study of 14 consecutive quarters of public-company reporting. Yet they find little to no correlation between headwind or tailwind investor communications and company performance, noting that “consistent, clear, and transparent messaging is essential for companies to maintain and enhance credibility with shareholders.”
Many leaders are taught to create compelling stories that can help effect the organizational transformations they desire. But all too often, such stories fall short because they ignore five major types of impact—including impact on society and individuals—that motivate employees, according to McKinsey senior partners Carolyn Dewar and Scott Keller in their classic article on the irrational aspect of change management. At one company, switching from communicating a conventional change story to one that included all five kinds of impact lifted employee motivation measures from 35.4 percent to 57.1 percent in a month and enabled a 10 percent improvement in cost efficiency in the first year.
Corporate buzzwords and jargon are often the target of jokes. But poor communication can have consequences that are far from amusing—bad writing may cost businesses nearly $400 billion a year, according to one survey. In a well-known case, a single typo in a government agency’s report forced a company to go out of business. Workplace communications that are too long, poorly organized, or unclear may confuse recipients and drain productivity. “The difference between good and bad communication can’t be overstated,” says McKinsey partner Julie Goran. “Think about having a clear and compelling narrative that’s shared in a coherent and consistent way. It encourages dialogue and engagement, and it’s a source of motivation.”
Lead by communicating well.

History lesson. It’s important to know the historical context when considering the US office market, David Steinbach, Hines’ global chief investment officer and cohead of investment management, shares with McKinsey partner Brian Vickery in a recent episode of Deal Volume. Tax reform in the 1980s and about 15 years of 0% interest rates incentivized landlords to “increase rent and create higher tenant inducements,” Vickery explains. That in turn raised tenants’ expectations and “distorted the dynamics of supply and demand within office buildings.”

Explaining 9 types of API testing
Smoke Testing
This is done after API development is complete. Simply validate if the APIs are working and nothing breaks.Functional Testing
This creates a test plan based on the functional requirements and compares the results with the expected results.Integration Testing
This test combines several API calls to perform end-to-end tests. The intra-service communications and data transmissions are tested.Regression Testing
This test ensures that bug fixes or new features shouldn’t break the existing behaviors of APIs.Load Testing
This tests applications’ performance by simulating different loads. Then we can calculate the capacity of the application.Stress Testing
We deliberately create high loads to the APIs and test if the APIs are able to function normally.Security Testing
This tests the APIs against all possible external threats.UI Testing
This tests the UI interactions with the APIs to make sure the data can be displayed properly.Fuzz Testing
This injects invalid or unexpected input data into the API and tries to crash the API. In this way, it identifies the API vulnerabilities.

API Vs SDK!
API (Application Programming Interface) and SDK (Software Development Kit) are essential tools in the software development world, but they serve distinct purposes:
API:
An API is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications and services to communicate with each other.It defines how software components should interact.
Facilitates data exchange and functionality access between software components.
Typically consists of endpoints, requests, and responses.
SDK:
An SDK is a comprehensive package of tools, libraries, sample code, and documentation that assists developers in building applications for a particular platform, framework, or hardware.Offers higher-level abstractions, simplifying development for a specific platform.
Tailored to specific platforms or frameworks, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance on that platform.
Offer access to advanced features and capabilities specific to the platform, which might be otherwise challenging to implement from scratch.
The choice between APIs and SDKs depends on the development goals and requirements of the project.

Explain the Top 6 Use Cases of Object Stores
What is an object store?
Object store uses objects to store data. Compared with file storage which uses a hierarchical structure to store files, or block storage which divides files into equal block sizes, object storage stores metadata together with the objects. Typical products include AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage.
An object store provides flexibility in formats and scales easily.Case 1: Data Archiving
With the ever-growing amounts of business data, we cannot store all the data in core storage systems. We need to have layers of storage plan. An object store can be used to archive old data that exists for auditing or client statements. This is a cost-effective approach.Case 2: Unstructured Data Storage
We often need to deal with unstructured data or semi-structured data. In the past, they were usually stored as blobs in the relational database, which was quite inefficient. An object store is a good match for music, video files, and text documents. Companies like Spotify or Netflix uses object store to persist their media files.Case 3: Cloud Native Storage
For cloud-native applications, we need the data storage system to be flexible and scalable. Major public cloud providers have easy API access to their object store products and can be used for economical storage choices.Case 4: Data Lake
There are many types of data in a distributed system. An object store-backed data lake provides a good place for different business lines to dump their data for later analytics or machine learning. The efficient reads and writes of the object store facilitate more steps down the data processing pipeline, including ETL(Extract-Transform-Load) or constructing a data warehouse.Case 5: Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT sensors produce all kinds of data. An object store can store this type of time series and later run analytics or AI algorithms on them. Major public cloud providers provide pipelines to ingest raw IoT data into the object store.Case 6: Backup and Recovery
An object store can be used to store database or file system backups. Later, the backups can be loaded for fast recovery. This improves the system’s availability.
Over to you: What did you use object store for?

From purpose to power: Defying the status quo
Readers & Leaders
Plus, 5 interviews on life and leadership lessons THIS MONTH'S PAGE-TURNERS ON BUSINESS AND BEYOND
You’ve just been blindsided by a business setback or a personal loss. The experience could render you crippled by caution, or it could help you reframe the future. As the interviews below demonstrate, life lessons can create opportunity for growth and innovation. At times, they can harness the potential that turns the biggest gambles into the greatest payoffs.
In this edition of Readers & Leaders, learn how perceived setbacks turned three authors into catalysts for change and transformed their approach to business and leadership. When met with the challenges of Ebola and energy deprivation in the poorest communities, Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, employed the “big bets” concept—using innovative solutions to tackle the world’s greatest problems. In a new Author Talks interview, Dr. Shah shares the importance of learning from others to enact change, why trusting your moral instincts is important, and why giving up control is essential to achieving scale and sustainability. In other featured interviews, Ron Shaich, founder and former CEO of Au Bon Pain and Panera Bread, explores how the loss of his parents helped him redefine a life well-lived and turn pain into purpose, and BBC analysis editor Ros Atkins discusses how a lost job opportunity triggered a journey into improving his communication skills.IT BEARS REPEATING
“I actually learned a playbook of how young people, in particular, can aspire to be changemakers. Anyone can be a changemaker if they adopt a big-bet mindset and are willing to think boldly—just as boldly as you would in the private sector. Think boldly about how you can actually make positive changes in this world.”
—Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, president, the Rockefeller Foundation, in an October edition of Author Talks.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Ron Shaich on why your life assessment shouldn’t happen “in the ninth inning, with two outs”: “Essentially, the process of a premortem, or defining today what’s going to matter tomorrow, is about figuring out, ‘Where do I want to land in the future? I know where I want to be in three years, in five, in seven. I could effectively build a plan to get there.’” Watch the full interview.
Ros Atkins offers a practical approach to effective explanation: “If you can spot the elements of those subjects that you’re not comfortable with, get the information to help you, and then do the preparation to make sure you can express that information clearly, you understand the subject, and you can then explain it.” Watch the full interview.TURN BACK THE PAGE

Hello, new API landscape!
Hello, new API landscape!
The 2024 stage is set for innovation and digital progress. How will you ensure your business thrives in this dynamic digital landscape?When we gazed into our Tyk crystal ball to look at upcoming trends for APIs (as we often do – we haven't just been named as Leaders in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for no reason – more on that below), observability,
OpenTelemetry, and the importance of API monitoring stood out ten-fold.
These frameworks are reshaping how we monitor, trace, and optimise APIs by providing comprehensive insights into data flow across services and applications.
It's a huge focus for us, and we're backing that prediction up with a powerful new feature as part of Tyk 5.2... OpenTelemetry Tracing, launching any day now. In the meantime, check out our blogs and events below for all sorts of data-driven insights into your APIs!

Gen AI and workers: What you should know
On Point
Industries that could be most affected Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Huge gains. Organizational leaders and the public at large have rapidly embraced gen AI since ChatGPT’s launch in November 2022. Following the launch, multiple companies also announced the development and integration of different large language models. Gen AI could add up to $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy, according to recent McKinsey research. The banking, high-tech, and life sciences industries are among those that could see the biggest impact, McKinsey Digital’s global leader, Rodney Zemmel, and coauthors find.
•
Millions of job shifts. Gen AI could automate almost 10% of tasks in the US economy, say McKinsey senior partner Kweilin Ellingrud and partner Saurabh Sanghvi. Overall, roughly 12 million occupational shifts may need to happen by 2030 for workers to keep up. Ensuring the reskilling and upskilling of workers during this transition falls on individual companies. The silver lining? If companies are able to do so successfully, we could have more jobs in the future than we have today. Discover how gen AI is changing the game across industries in the latest edition of the McKinsey Quarterly Five Fifty.

Unwind and catch up on the week's big reads Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
TECH FOR EXECS
Our experts serve up a periodic look at the technology concepts leaders need to understand to help their organizations grow and thrive in the digital age.
What it is. Explainable AI (XAI) refers to the ability to understand how an AI-powered application arrived at a particular output. Thanks to complex algorithms in AI applications, this isn’t easy. But doing so is foundational to managing risks and ensuring that an AI application performs optimally.
Why we need it. While the neural networks running behind many AI apps are loosely modeled after the human brain, they often don’t process data in the ways that humans do. But if we can’t understand how AI arrived at a particular conclusion, how can skeptical users trust the results enough to take actions on them? XAI has business implications as well. It can help data scientists figure out why an app might be producing biased or inaccurate recommendations. Also, if regulators want proof that bias isn’t occurring—a mounting concern as more governments consider AI regulations—XAI makes it easier to provide that proof.
How to make AI interpretable. Data scientists are applying a number of “explainability” features—including local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP)—to illuminate which data most influence an AI’s decisions. Still, only 25 percent of organizations enable XAI. Is your AI interpretable? Simple, easily interpretable algorithms often suffice, but when complexity is required, applying explainability techniques should become standard practice.QUOTE OF THE DAY

In today's world of complex, web-scale application backends made up of many microservices and components running across clusters of servers and containers, managing and coordinating all these pieces is incredibly challenging.
That's where Kubernetes comes in. Kubernetes (also known as "k8s") is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
With Kubernetes, you don't have to worry about manually placing containers or restarting failed ones. You simply describe your desired application architecture and Kubernetes makes it happen and keeps it running.
In this two-part series, we'll dive deep into Kubernetes and cover:
Key concepts like pods, controllers, and services
The components that make up a Kubernetes cluster
When and why Kubernetes is useful for your applications
Tradeoffs to consider before adopting Kubernetes
We'll demystify Kubernetes and equip you with everything you need to determine if and when Kubernetes could be the right solution for your applications. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of what Kubernetes is, how it works, and how to put it into practice.
Whether you're a developer, ops engineer, or technology leader, you'll find invaluable insights in this deep dive into Kubernetes. Let's get started!
Brief History
Kubernetes can be traced back to Google's internal container orchestration system, Borg, which managed the deployment of thousands of applications within Google. Containers are a method of packaging and isolating applications into standardized units that can be easily moved between environments. Unlike traditional virtual machines (VMs) which virtualize an entire operating system, containers only virtualize the application layer, making them more lightweight, portable and efficient.
In 2014, Google open-sourced a container orchestration system based on its learnings from Borg. This is Kubernetes. Kubernetes provides automated deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. By leveraging containers rather than VMs, Kubernetes provides benefits like increased resource efficiency, faster deployment of applications, and portability across on-prem and cloud environments.
Why is it also called k8s? This is a somewhat nerdy way of abbreviating long words. The number 8 in k8s refers to the 8 letters between the first letter “k” and the last letter “s” in the word Kubernetes.
Kubernetes Architecture and Key Components
At its core, Kubernetes follows a client-server architecture. There are two core pieces in a Kubernetes cluster - control plane and worker nodes.
The control plane is responsible for managing the state of the cluster. In production environments, the control plane usually runs on multiple nodes that span across several data center zones.
In other words, the control plane manages worker nodes and the containers running on them.
The containerized applications run in a Pod. Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes. A pod hosts one or more containers and provides shared storage and networking for those containers. Pods are created and managed by the Kubernetes control plane. They are the basic building blocks of Kubernetes applications.
Let’s dive deeper into the main pieces.
Kubernetes Control Plane
The control plane is the brain of Kubernetes. It consists of various components that, together, make global decisions about the cluster. The control plane components run on multiple servers across availability zones to provide high availability.
The key components are:
Kubernetes API Server
Etcd
Kubernetes Scheduler
Kubernetes Controller Manager

[eBook] How to take infrastructure monitoring to the next level
New Relic
The paradox of infrastructure monitoring is that the more mission-critical it becomes, the more complex it becomes to monitor and manage.
DevOps and SRE teams face a sprawling network of complex systems and changing environments. This increasingly complex software infrastructure is now more critical to business success than it’s ever been. A mixed bag of metrics from a disconnected set of tools isn’t sufficient in today’s environment.
With observability, you can proactively collect, visualize, and apply intelligence to all of your metrics, events, logs, and traces in order to gain a holistic understanding of your entire software system.
How do you get there? In our eBook, we’ll look at four ways that DevOps and SRE teams can achieve true observability.
