Tenets for leadership, teams, and organizations that are stronger and more human
Do this well
Work can be frustrating, absurd, and occasionally a joke. It can also be energizing, meaningful, and genuinely human. Since most of us spend half our waking lives at work, it seems worth figuring out the difference.
This collection of writing is on leadership, teams, and organizations with a focus on the gap between how they're typically run and how they could be. The articles draw on research, history, and over a decade of product leadership across financial technology and beyond.
About me
This leadership and organizational thinking is brought to you by a corporate citizen who’s navigated four careers in knowledge work with all the contours that come with it:
-
Won awards at 3
-
Been laid off from 1
-
Promoted from individual contributor to team lead at 3 different companies
-
Been rejected by hundreds of companies and never secured a job without a personal referral
That last point is why I write about organizational culture and leadership with skepticism about how conventional wisdom actually holds up in practice.
I'm on LinkedIn if you'd like to connect.
