Is this what you’re focused on as a manager/leader, or is your leadership energy expended elsewhere? #leadership #management #leadershipeffectiveness https://t.co/NZNB97zOvs
Every person I train who starts to look up to me is told the same thing…”one day I’ll f**k up and you will have to tell me I f**ked up. Tell me.” Now that doesn’t apply to like 99.9% of you...
Failure Is Data - If You Know How to Use It Failure is often framed as a cultural issue, something to normalise, embrace, or “learn from.” That framing is incomplete. The real issue is not whether failure happens. It is whether it...
Tech CEOs: If you blame AI for layoffs, you are lying to yourself. You over hired and should just admit it.

The calm decision protocol. Before any big decision: Sleep first Walk first Breathe first Wait first A dysregulated nervous system cannot access long horizon thinking. Regulate. Then decide.
Jack Dorsey just published something that should be required reading for every founder. The premise: the org chart needs to be replaced entirely. And the argument starts 2,000 years ago. For thousands of years, every organization on earth has run on the...
A lot of people are more qualified than they sound. That is the problem. They keep talking about what they helped with instead of what they owned, what they influenced, what they improved, and what they carried.
“As I’ve been thinking about the future of how we communicate at OpenAI, one thing that’s become clear is that the standard communications playbook just doesn’t apply to us...We’re not a typical company. We’re driving a really big technological shift.”...
The technology might be sound, but people weren't set up to succeed. Vendors often present polished narratives to the board, using buzzwords without doing the actual work. This makes it sound professional, but the underlying reality is neglected. #TechFailure #ProjectManagement...
Amazon's drone program started in a garage. Without permission. An engineer pitched Jeff Wilke. He didn't ask Bezos. Didn't ask the CFO. Just funded it. Months later Bezos brought up drones and learned a team was already flying. Full...

In an idea meritocracy, there is bound to be more disagreement than in a typical organization, but when it's taken to an extreme, arguing and nitpicking can undermine the idea meritocracy's effectiveness. At Bridgewater, I have encountered some people, especially...
News: Lawyers for Jeff Shell have begun discussions about his exit as President of Paramount. Contours of any future role (like "consultant" or outright ouster) will be determined by the internal investigation, which is expected to be done in a...
Can we go back to the time when laying off employees was a sign of poor management? When it meant the company shouldn't be trusted? I know we've completely lost the plot on pretty much everything, but this one thing...

Founders: Don't give discounts without getting something back: - Longer contract term - Case study rights - Expansion commitments - Reference availability Every concession should have compensation.
If you’re not willing to give direct feedback, you’re robbing your team of their ability to improve.

#CIOChat Q1: For decades IT was framed solely as a cost center focused on efficiency and uptime. Now AI, data, and digital products can + must drive revenue directly. What psychological (or other) shift has to happen in your org before...
Good leaders must communicate the following: Purpose – why are we doing what we’re doing? Direction – where are we going? Progress – how are we doing? I call this trio PDP. The clearer the PDP is to the team,...
Prominent media investor told me something a while back that stuck with me (paraphrasing): "two types of founders - ones who know when to sell and ones who hold on for too long. If your company trades on cool, better...
Nvidia CEO: “you cannot show me a task that is beneath me.” The enemy of continuous growth is arrogance, zero sum mindset and a sense of entitlement. https://t.co/DpugJBDmtO
FWIW When leaders fire subordinates it often has less to do with the failures of the subordinate (which typically have been long known) than the mounting vulnerability felt by the CEO. Short of embezzlement, you never see CFOs, CTOs and COOs...
NEW EPISODE: @jack & @roelofbotha unpack @blocks 40% staff cut and rebuilding the entire company as a mini-AGI. This isn’t “use AI to make people more productive.” It’s making the company itself the intelligence. If you’re a founder or operator wondering what...
What are some s-tier corporate cultures? Costco, Adyen, and Netflix make the list for me
Founders + C-level folks who come from a software engineering background are all getting back to it. Never seen eng leaders get hands-on with a previous technology at so many different places.
Want more time? Fire yourself from 80% of tasks. Hire a Chief of Staff. • Delegate email • Delegate scheduling • Delegate content distribution Save 20 hours a week. That’s 1,040 hours a year of your life back.
Attribution was supposed to tell us which channels deserve credit. It mostly told us which teams should fight about it. Frans Riemersma and I just published The State of Marketing Attribution 2026 (sponsored by CaliberMind), and the finding that hit hardest...
What exactly is "executive presence"? Maybe you know it when you see it. But can those behaviors you learned to lead and operate at the upper levels actually backfire? I found this @HarvardBiz article useful ... https://t.co/G1rGO62gR0 https://t.co/2jPN0IhIF7

New @ThePeelPod with @sophiaamoruso We talk bootstrapping her vintage Ebay store Nasty Gal to $28m revenue, raising $50m, turning down a $400m acquisition offer, and declaring bankruptcy a few years later. We talk about what it was like failing so publicly, what...
Once again, the real-world provides the perfect real-time example. In this case for today's class on the unappreciated connection between social mood and leadership styles.
"Be more strategic" -> before you give that advice, have you (or your org): Shared a clear 3 year plan for where the company is going? Shared the overall strategy to achieve that? Translated that strategy to the department of your employee? Elaborated beyond...
I used to wonder why I kept hearing leadership repeat themselves as though they’d never said it before. Amnesia? Just… really passionate? Shouldn't we be moving on now? No. It's just what it takes to get groups of humans aligned. Repeat...
Sometimes you aren't promoted because you make something easy where you are. And sometimes you just aren't ready - but your manager doesn't know how to say what you need to your face. I've been in both spots. "Maybe next time" can be...
A lesson I wish I learned earlier: CEO Architect > CEO Engine The engine is the thing that makes the business move. If it stops, everything stops. Architects don't move the business. They design the system that moves it without them.
