News regarding ingenious Pakistani doctors and engineers bringing laurels to the country is quite common. However, you don’t usually get to hear of Pakistanis doing just as well in the field of e-sports on a global level. 15-year old Sumail Hassan Syed from Karachi seems to have set the record straight in this regard by bagging $1.2 million in Dota 2 Asian Championship in Shanghai, China.

THE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY: Harvard Business Review

Build Trust with Your Type A Boss

It’s not easy working under high performers. While Type A bosses are driven and successful, they’re also demanding and more likely to micromanage. But you can improve your relationship, and make your job more enjoyable.
Speak up. If you disagree about something or have other concerns, be direct. Show that you’re not afraid to voice opinions, and your boss will respect you.
Get to know your boss. Build an outside-of-work relationship by sharing some of your personal passions and goals. Do you both have kids? Play tennis? Finding similarities can help you two build trust.
Know that it’s not you. If your boss is piling more work on you and not giving enough credit, try to push your frustrations aside and ask how she is doing. Chances are she’s not trying to be dismissive; she’s just lacking sleep or has a big decision weighing on her.

“We are reminded how short life really is, and how we are just passing through. So, all the people you haven’t told you love lately, tell them, and live your days like you mean it.”
