Unbreaking the leadership practices that prevent work from being impactful and human
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 comes from a corporate citizen who's navigated four careers in knowledge work with all the contours that come with it:
-
Won awards at three companies; laid off from one
-
Promoted from individual contributor to leadership at three different companies; still rejected by hundreds of others
-
Removes the organizational friction that unlocks orders of magnitude growth; still subject to the signoff of the less-impactful-but-more-senior
I write about organizational culture and leadership for the people who do impactful work, not the people who present it.
