You're in your weekly 1:1. You're already stretched thin covering for the senior manager who abruptly quit last month. Your director slides their entire remaining project portfolio onto your plate and calls it a "stretch opportunity." Director: "I need you to...
“When managers/executives get the leadership thing terribly wrong, the organization that put them in the role without ensuring their bandwidth and proficiency is as much at fault as the managers themselves—if not more so.” 🔗 https://t.co/gNw3MlEKqF #leadership #management #HR https://t.co/spRiN27VqG
Ray Kroc didn’t just build restaurants. He built a system. * Persistence beats talent * Systems scale businesses * Execution wins long term Lessons from McDonald’s growth: https://michaelwmchugh.com/ray-krocs-mcdonalds-success/
I would also say that as a mid-level leader building understanding and empathy in yourself and your team for the needs and working style of the CEO is important - start by telling yourself a different story about these behaviors.
The restaurant I worked at had two types of servers: Type 1: Showed up, did the job, went home Type 2: Treated it like they owned the place Type 2 made 2x more in tips... Same restaurant. Same customers. Different energy. Ownership is a mindset...
New CEPR research: moving too fast on AI creates permanent economic damage. Not temporary disruption. Permanent. The companies winning aren't moving the fastest. They're moving at the speed their people can absorb. Budget for the transition, not just the tool.
Before you brief the C-suite on bad news, define your objective: inform, ask for help, or seek a decision - then tailor every word to that outcome. #ITSM #ITLeadership https://t.co/a4Q8PTsrKE
Someone in Hampton (1000+ founders) asked people if they share revenue and P&L with employees. Here's what they said: Founder A (bootstrapped, ~20 employees): "I share nothing. Not even with my COO. I've never been happier running a company." Founder B (also anti-transparency):...
“Some of the most successful people in the world are able to attack ideas instead of attacking people.” ~@polinapompliano
Hot take: I think we are moving from a world defined by roles to a world defined by capability. The old labels still exist, but they are getting less useful. Marketer. Developer. Designer. Strategist. What matters more is whether you can think clearly,...
Nick Sleep on focusing on what you can control "The quality of our research-based decisions overwhelmingly determines whether we will do well in the long run. But it has almost no influence over the timing of these results."

"Don’t watch the clock; do what it does." Sam Levenson’s insight is often dismissed as mere motivation, but for operators, it’s a masterclass in momentum. We spend immense cognitive capital building dashboards to watch time pass—obsessing over quarterly horizons and...
In highly technical organizations, the biggest risk isn't what breaks - it's when leadership hears about it too late or without the right context to act. #CIO https://t.co/a4Q8PTsrKE

Half the battle in a startup is figuring out who not to spend time with.
If you want people to respect you as a leader: Be clear. Be decisive. Admit what you don’t know. Set direction publicly. Correct privately.

That one manager who accidentally made you an entrepreneur. Everyone has one. Takes credit. Micromanages. Let’s you do fine but not as well as them. My worst manager made sure I’d never work for anyone else again.
A new way to manage performance. If you want to check out my article I wrote that breaks down this new way of managing performance (without annual reviews), comment “LEADER” and I’ll send it to you. #annualreview #performancemanagement #leadership
If you need all the answers before you start, it's never going to work. Action comes first. Answers come after. You can have absolutely no idea how… And still have complete confidence you'll figure it out.
People don’t resist AI. They resist uncertainty. “If I get faster, do I get rewarded — or replaced?” The best companies answer that clearly. #AI #FutureOfWork #Leadership #Innovation https://t.co/PeWuBlEx9s
