Love the idea of archetypes vs dedicated title & rigid responsibilities list. This is so flexible and inclusive - and in a moment when the lines of so many of our jobs in tech are blurring together, a bit more of this mindset is exactly what we need. www.inc.com/ashley-couto...

The study showed that when your people feel like they are blocked from having impact — when their purpose cannot be achieved — they will “withdraw effort, speak less positively about their organizations, and are far more likely to quit.” www.inc.com/peter-econom...

“It’s tough being a manager,” Noor said. “You talk to people all the time and you think what you get is the whole story – but you never get the whole story on anything. Never assume you’ve gotten the whole story.” today.duke.edu/2026/06/why-...

I'd like to thank the unemployment gods and my former employer for laying me off two weeks ago. No really. I couldn't have pulled this move to Hawaii off without you and I've never felt more free and relieved to be starting something totally new.

Some thoughts on leadership I need to get off my chest: Every "signs your boss is a bully" list is really just a leadership spec sheet written in reverse. The bad behavior is easy to name. The standard baseline of how to be a good leader underneath, is the hard part. So let's name both.

Not that far the truth some days 🤡🎪

This seems so obvious I'm not sure why it needed a study to prove it or an article to explain it. "We found that those who had previously reported the highest levels of thwarted impact were almost five times more likely to have quit." hbr.org/2026/06/when...

Leaders of companies that made the leap from average performance to sustained greatness shared an unexpected trait: Humility. It improves judgment, opens the door to others’ expertise and helps to ensure success does not become complacency. www.forbes.com/sites/marycr...

These skills are intangible, yes, but by no means are they soft. They’re hard because they are often unspoken, unlearned, and underappreciated, so we ignore their import, erroneously, and, therefore, suffer from the repercussions. www.fastcompany.com/91547022/why...

"The real competitive advantage will belong to the people who can still think critically, identify unmet human needs, connect disparate ideas, challenge assumptions and shape coherent experiences in an increasingly noisy world." www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-can...

Every leader in tech should put down their steaming hot cup of hubris, and read this. “The most dangerous person on your team isn’t the loudest critic or the lowest performer. It’s the one who has quietly decided they don’t belong here.” open.substack.com/pub/mikefish...

People do not follow simply because of titles or authority. Every interaction with a leader is filtered through a set of implicit questions: Does this person make things better? Can I trust them? Do they help me succeed? hbr.org/2026/05/are-...

I get the biz strategy here that people get more valuable the longer they stay and that this is a savvy retention play by Loveable, but it certainly has nothing to do with curing a toxic work culture. In fact, in some places, you might be perpetuating one instead. techcrunch.com/2026/05/07/c...

"Just as in the days before AI, the hardest problem for a business is still creating this vision and alignment around it—how to keep an entire team of humans, and now humans and agents (and humans with agents), building toward the same vision." every.to/thesis/the-c...

AI readiness is not primarily a technology capability. It is a leadership discipline: the capacity to decide what should move faster, what should slow down, and who has the authority to know the difference. www.forbes.com/sites/jasonw...
