[Watch me try to get your feedback without promoting my thing haha ;)] ​ I'm trying to build something like Duolingo for leadership (a VERY, VERY simplified version) to help middle managers improve their leadership even though their time is extremely limited. I'm looking to get some feedback on the instructions that I have written. (I´m in the US right now, and my friends mainly live in Sweden, aka nighttime, so I'm wondering if maybe you guys want to help out.?) ​ Basically, I´m wondering the following: Are the instructions clear? What should be added/removed to make it easier to understand ..read more

I'm listening to to an annual shareholder meeting and listening to the chairman of the board of a multi-billion dollar company make a presentation. He's stumbling on his words, and has a sort of sing-song voice like he's a 5th grader reading from a script he barely understands. He's one of the richest men in the country and he's a terrible public speaker. Why is it that so often when I see someone in a suit & tie at the top of companies or politicians they sound like they're barely able to string two sentences together? Is there a certain level of income where you all of a sudden forget h ..read more

I'm looking for a book or article that I've read in the past and I can't find it. I believe it was written by woman author. It described three (?) levels of leadership. It talked about how it was difficult to move 'up the ladder'. The book was framed as advice for one who wanted to get ahead through promotions. The framework of the different levels was based on how the first or lowest level was the 'leader' who was technically capable. They did stuff themselves, knew how to do it and were excellent at their work. The problem was that they had trouble moving up, because, as they were too compe ..read more

Hi Reddit leadership fam As always, I come to seek your advice: Context: I have a director position in a services firm. When I joined 9 months ago both my direct reports left the company because they were disappointed. I was left working for 3 people for almost 3 months until we hired two new stars and they helped me to cope. All this time that I was alone, I was getting picked and attacked by another director constantly. Most of the times in front of the rest of the firm. I also had another director yelling at me in front of my team. In all this instances, I went to the HR and the owner and ..read more

Recently, a well-known company lost another top executive. I'm intentionally being vague because the importance is the pattern, not the company itself. This has been a pattern for this company over the past few years. Over this same period of time (and before the past few years), the company has invited controversy - though it has started changing its approach this year because of how this has affected the company. I note this reminder to leadership: intentionally attracting controversy over the long run carries costs. In some cases, polarizing campaigns can help, if the polarization favors o ..read more
