A place where I can go deep
|
I get it: The world doesn’t need another newsletter. I want a place where I can go deep. Much deeper than in my usual posts. Where I can write the kind of pieces I wished existed when I was trying to make sense of leadership myself many years ago. A place where simplistic hacks are unwelcome. Because we value profound answers over quick ones. A place where we don’t stop at the recipe but try to understand why it works, where it works. And also where it doesn’t. A place where we don’t pretend the world makes sense, but rather try to find a path that makes sense in a world that doesn’t. In other words, something I would love to do here but space simply does not permit. It’s going to launch next week and a subscription will be $9.90/month or $89/year (more on what’s included here).

But in my experience, it often achieves the opposite of what was intended. Worse, I’ve even sometimes seen them being used to manipulate. To give the appearance of calm and clarity while the reality is...
What the Best Leaders Say Issue 1 Welcome to the first edition of What the Best Leaders Say. If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know that I’m not interested in convenient truths. I’m interested in helping people who care say what matters in the clearest way possible. Even if it’s inconvenient. Even if it’s difficult. Heck, even if it hurts. I wholeheartedly believe that we can’t leave the world to those who care less. Or those who communicate carelessly. We need people like...
You make a call that will upset people.You know it.And you still have to make it. That’s leadership. But here’s what most leaders miss.You don’t lose your people because of the decision.You lose them because they don’t see the fight that led to it.

In a world where only 14 percent still trust senior leaders to make the right calls, that’s a real problem. Your people...
