LEADERSHIP LAB: The Craft of Writing Effectively

How to write academically. Is quite aggressive view. But I feel it fits in academic writing.

  • NOT sharing but CHANGING others’ thoughts.
  • writing FOR the reader. instead of JUST to convey an idea.
  • function of writing: to move conversation forward. Not to stay in drawer.
  • There’re donimate ideas in the field. Why should your different opinion be accepted.
    • acknowledge a community face this problem
    • know code to talk -> acknowledge previous work
    • Give what’s wrong. -> do not explain, do it in a way that you’ve anticipated the question.
  • Steps to write.
    • Problem <- what readers care about. Use instable words: abnormal, inconsistency.
    • Solution <- only when problem is acknowledged.
    • Literature Review -> enrich the problems. e.g. from xxx, his idea complicates the whole problem, he said xxx in later year, which even make it complex. background, history, etc, BUT, afterwards, brings up your understanding of the problem
