Results of the week on Artem Korolev's Telegram channel

Let's summarize the results of the final January week on Artem Korolev's Telegram channel.

In the first post, he recalled that CASE-IN largely borrows the logic of sports – from the atmosphere and production to the feelings of the participants. And, as in any big championship, it also has its own tournament tables – these are the ratings of the school and student leagues, as well as the league of young professionals.

"According to the classics of the genre, the leading positions in such tables rarely change, – added founder of the CASE-IN. – This is always the result of many years of systematic work: with teams, mentors, internal expertise and a talent pool. But that is why it is especially interesting to observe when this dynamic begins to change."

Next, Artyom shared a study of the labor market, in which businesses were asked a simple question: who is really worth holding on to today? The survey showed that 68% of Russian companies are already focused on the specific skills of their employees, and not just on higher education.

"Now imagine an audience of 200 people. 180 of them have higher education, 20 of them have a red diploma or "almost red". And they all have about the same thing on their resumes. How can an employer choose a specialist in such circumstances?", – set by the author of the Telegram channel asked a reasonable question.

A diploma will not help much in choosing. Additional hooks in the resume are important, which will really catch on, he summarizes.

From the "evil aunts" who drove away from the lawn to the bronze medals of the Russian championship: Artem Korolev spoke about his love for baseball.

"This is a unique individual and team sport. You play as a team, but your individual actions "on the bat" or "on the slide" directly affect the result., – noted he. – Often one throw by a new pitcher at the end of the game turns the result upside down. And this is very similar to real life: in a strong team, one person can fail and disrupt the entire project, or vice versa – an average team, including through individual skill, pulls out the victory."

At the end of the week, the director of the Reliable Shift Foundation admitted that he had read 105 books in 2025, highlighting the TOP 20 of them. The rating of fiction is headed by the work "Wild. A dangerous journey as a way to find yourself" (Cheryl Strayed), among the business books, "After me, the sequel ..." (Akin Ongor) is the best. The full list is by the link.
