I spent last week in the Belizean jungle, workshopping with some of my top agency owner students. Here’s what happened the day they got back to work yesterday. When you stop doing $50/hr tasks and start acting like the CEO you are,...
This week on Lifers, I interviewed @othman about how he navigated @color through three massive pivots—from cancer genetics to national COVID infrastructure and now a virtual cancer clinic. Timestamps: (00:00) Preview (00:58) Intro (01:03) Lessons from Figma and betting on the tortoise over the...
I worked with a university a few years back that had a problem most organizations have. Their website was full of outdated rubbish, and nobody would fix it. We tried something that probably sounds obvious in hindsight. Every page got assigned...
#TimTalk - Radical Humility: Why the "Hero Boss" is Dead (and what to do instead) with Urs Koenig https://t.co/24g0kLLxXC
Leveraging your expertise is wise, of course. You’ll be more efficient and make better decisions. Well, sometimes? Or “expertise” can be blinders. Knowing that, you can avoid the trap, and indeed leverage your expertise. https://t.co/19xHUGd9lC
Disruption doesn’t kill companies. Identity confusion does. Lessons from my conversation with John Fallon on why copying Silicon Valley playbooks fails and what actually lets incumbents survive change. #Strategy #Leadership #Outthinker @LHH_Global https://t.co/VgKcJLvHsZ
The hidden 18–24 month cost most companies never calculate There’s a familiar moment in many companies when growth stalls. Pipeline slows. Forecasts wobble. Pressure rises. And eventually, the conversation turns to people. “Maybe we need a different marketing leader.” “Sales...
What does it mean to prioritize stakeholders in your communication strategy? Today students in my COMM 360: Communication in Organizations class at RWU will explore that question with Weayonnoh Nelson-Davies, Esq., Executive Director of the Rhode Island Economic Progress Institute. Weayonnoh will...
We talk about strategy as if it’s linear. It rarely is. Careers pivot. Investments misfire. Assumptions collapse. A wrong turn isn’t always an error—it’s information. It reveals constraints you couldn’t see from the original map. In complex systems, detours refine...
Belmont Resources $BEA.V $BELMF Strengthens Board with Appointment of Dr. Thomas Unterweissacher, International Critical-Minerals Specialist @thenewswire https://t.co/Wk3e9RIv3O https://t.co/MDKBlZQayv
Most CEOs can’t answer these clearly. → Purpose – Why are we here? → Direction – Where are we going? → Progress – How are we doing? So I built a framework to fix this. I call it the Northstar. It puts mission,...
Planning feels safe. Execution feels risky. That’s why people redesign dashboards instead of shipping. A functional system should push you toward output, not hide you inside the eternal wheel of "preparation".
There’s a difference between taking control and needing control. Taking control means taking the helm and steering the ship toward an agreed upon destination. But, those who need control struggle to adapt as they go. It’s “My way or the highway.”

"It is a privilege of the mighty to surround themselves with the champions of intellect..." How talented are the people around you? Balthasar Gracian
I see 3 phases of sales leadership hires in scaleups: 1st - Get first customers and get first sales reps. 2nd - Figure out the process to get customers and sales reps. 3rd - Scale the process to get customers and sales reps. You...
Work the edges when the center is fuzzy. Name what is clear. Clarity grows from knowledge. What’s clear? What’s important? What doesn’t work?
A Monday morning question for you: Is the situation actually complicated or is it really quite straightforward, but you're making it complicated because it requires a lot of courage to make the straightforward decision?
“Trust your gut.” That was Jason Fried answer when I asked him what advice he’d give every B2B SaaS founder. And it hit because it’s uncomfortable. We’ve built a whole business culture around justification: – data-supported decisions – evidence-based roadmaps...
On one end, the Anthropic team is a massive user of AI to write code (80%+ of all code deployed is written by Claude Code). They ship amazingly fast. On the other hand, seeing these beyond terrible reliability numbers suggests there...
Welcome to Chapter Two of the Playing to Win/Practitioner Insights (PTW/PI) book club. I am reprising the 37 pieces that were ranked highest by readers – and they make up one books-worth of content. The second is Why Planning over Strategy? https://t.co/L7EbtoalCF In...
We talk a lot about leading others - teams, organizations, movements, nations. But the most complex leadership challenge is far more intimate. It demands character, honest and deep self-reflection, and a willingness to confront who you are before you try to...
What #AI reveals about performance measurement: proxies get optimized. If you measure speed, you may lose quality. If you measure output, you may miss impact. In the ML era, KPI design is a leadership discipline. https://t.co/FfVafJZaUk @mitsmr #MWC26 https://t.co/0jER9RZRs1
#TimTalk - Trust as currency: why trust is a core professional trait for all leaders today with David Tweddle https://t.co/yBrmSVgfs7 via @DLAIgnite #SocialSelling #DigitalSelling #Sales #SalesLeader #Leadership #Culture #Motivation #Marketing #Mindset #Inspiration https://t.co/wYTGz286wj
Perfection is a static target. Effort is a dynamic input. Leaders who chase “perfect” wait for ideal conditions, flawless plans, and complete certainty. Leaders who commit to disciplined daily effort compound capability. Transformation rarely arrives in breakthroughs; it accumulates in...
#TimTalk – Does the rise of AI agents mean we need fewer layers of management, or does it require a completely different kind of manager? with Dan Sodergren https://t.co/FpTzeBmYIM @DLAIgnite #SocialSelling #DigitalSelling #Technology #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #Industry5.0 #Leadership #TechNews
If genAI handles the grunt work, how can leaders develop an apprenticeship model? Leaders must: (1) Redesign Level-1 roles, (2) Pair talent with AI agents, (3) Make learning and reflection explicit, not accidental. #AI #Hiring #CIO #CHRO https://t.co/W7YbwP6jrL
#TimTalk - How do leaders balance acceptance with accountability and performance? with Mau Espinosa https://t.co/djlZ0UG9GW via @DLAIgnite #SocialSelling #DigitalSelling #Sales #Leadership #Culture #Motivation #Marketing #Success #Entrepreneur #Management https://t.co/t5Q67eQA37
Entrepreneur burnout starts when you demand output every day with no pause. Patience gives you space to rest, think, and avoid rushed decisions. When you pause before reacting, you choose strategy over emotion. Track small wins, schedule breaks, treat setbacks as data. If you...
good tips for leaders and their boards, from a leader who has weathered the ups and downs and been hardened tackling super hard problems. @cerebras is an incredible company that has endured and overcome all sorts of doubts along the...
A mentor once told me this: When you feel stuck, shrink the goal. One finished task. One closed loop. One workout. One hard conversation. One thing that moves you forward. Momentum is just a byproduct of movement.
Yesterday was a horrible #buildinpublic day I got rinsed by 100s of engineers for being a micromanager I was defensive and overwhelmed, and trying to explain my own preferences for how Senja should be run I know I am not perfect and am...
Toxic culture kills small businesses. Stress, gossip, and hostility cut output by 20% and drive turnover that cost U.S. firms $223B in five years. Leaders who ignore bad behavior fuel burnout, distrust, and exits. You set the tone through direct feedback, clear roles,...
The CEO’s job isn’t to run the company. It’s to align it. Operations can be delegated. Alignment cannot. A CEO stuck in execution becomes an operator. A CEO who aligns vision, strategy, people, and incentives builds scale. Execution is the engine. Alignment is the steering wheel. Drive...
Efficiency is the New Growth: Navigating the Post-SaaS-pocalypse by @Timothy_Hughes https://t.co/7x2TCrXKsm @DLAIgnite #SocialSelling #DigitalSelling #Sales #Marketing #MarketingStrategy #Strategy #Leadership #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #Technology #Tech #TechNews #SaaS #Cloud #CloudComputing
The future belongs to leaders willing to take smart risks, challenge legacy processes, and deploy technology the way customers want it used. Digital success isn’t about the vendor. It’s about the will to change. https://t.co/oqVqr3G6ac
Will anyone at CNN take a principled stand as David Ellison reshapes the network to be more MAGA friendly? Or will everyone just go along with the new direction? Watch the full episode of Power Lines on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nWEG5jUrP2Q?si=H_0XcKiJMFeLe3fe
Solopreneurship is shallow and lonely. Build something so big, you get to bring others along with you. Not just build your bank account. Don't just be free, free others.
Terrific new paper in the ACM from @shanselman and Mark Russinovich, proposing an apprenticeship model for junior engineers. https://t.co/XnQcH3emkj I'll add one thing. At every place that I have seen start hiring junior engineers in the last few years, that charge...
If your CEO sets all the OKRs… You don’t have alignment. You have cascading a mandate. If teams set OKRs in isolation, you don’t have empowerment. You have fragmentation. The best approach is nuanced: https://t.co/IwsxuUiNa0
We met in 2009 through MIT’s MITEF program. Now we’re spending the next two days at the @Outthinker Network Strategy Summit. @scaleupwithjen Grateful for brilliant minds and even better friends. #Strategy #Leadership #Innovation #Outthinker #BusinessStrategy https://t.co/SJsXWrUwzP
Your lack of people skills cost you more opportunities than your lack of technical ones.
I talk to Fortune 500 CEOs and CIOs all time that are starting to think about all the new things that they’re going to build software for, and automate. Agents are the first thing that makes this viable for them....
“A thousand soldiers took down a city of 6 million. Not by magic. By cohesion, momentum, sustainment, and leaders who empowered initiative under fire." General (ret) David Perkins discussing the 2003 Battle of Baghdad on my @WarInstitute UWP podcast. https://t.co/Icc6ylRqaQ
Block built two parallel company structures during COVID and is now collapsing them. That's a management correction, not an AI story. Worth watching which other companies use "AI restructuring" as branding for decisions they would've made anyway. Expect a...
Could you operate your company with half the people? Jack Dorsey’s announcement yesterday, reducing Block’s headcount from 10,000 to 6,000, should provoke this question in every management team. The stock surged 24%. Dorsey’s memo framed it as inevitable : Within...
From Clouded Judgement: The Poison of Inertia https://lnkd.in/g_HwrFac
the size of a public ceo’s workforce is shifting from being a flex if large to a flex if small. the next few years of refactoring will be significant (and seat-based models will shift to value-based), but I also think...
When nothing happens, it is the greatest drain on human energy. Are these familiar to you? 1. You spend hours in a meeting and nothing happens. No decision. No clarity. No outcome. 2. You traveled across the world and never got to the...
