No disagreement here, although those should be baseline values in any employee, leader or otherwise IMO

Specifically because many of these people spend their days communicating needs to humans doing things and generating reports for humans making decisions. They are “middle managers” or senior leaders doing a job better done by computers Free humans to be better humans, not better report generators

Since when was saying ”I need you to do this” considered compassionate? Or “I want you to do this” That’s called egoistic behavior and doesn’t make teams any better If you consider your coworkers as cogs or irrelevant, you’re doing it wrong I encourage you to calm down and reread this thread…

Absolutely treating people like people and helping people find their fit is one of the best things a person can do for another person This was about not telling people what you need or want but removing ego from the mix Great book BTW

Most VP and C-Level titles will be obsolete by 2035. 1/2 of Fortune 500 have quietly removed the COO role. CMO and CFO is next. AI is coming for six and seven figure jobs. It’s a good time to be a founder and a bad time to be a manager. Go build something.

No one follows a leader who is either incompetent or self-absorbed. They certainly won’t follow one who is absent When I eat at a restaurant I want the head chef in the kitchen

Funny enough the founder of Atari is a neat guy. Was super great to my son when he was a kid I don’t know anyone there now, unfortunately

The main thing is we are all independent coaches contracted with Vistage, so practices vary wildly between chairs Some are laser focused on biz growth I’m focused on growing leaders into better people We’re all unique butterflies

Everything is hard Everyone is scared Fear is a powerful drug and we’re all strung out while getting increased doses daily Courage is the antidote to fear Hope is a more powerful drug Want to be a great leader? Model courage, inspire hope, and exemplify your values The rest is theater

Stop telling your employees what you need or want “I need you to do this” or “I want it done this way” Who cares? Your mom? Speak to them like a peer “This is how we do _____ here” “The right way to do that is _____” Be matter of fact using simple language & a respectful tone Watch the results

No idea. I bootstrapped all my projects or came in post raise There’s a lot of people out there who specialize in raising capital I like finding people with a problem I can solve and then having them pay me to solve it I’m a simple man

You’re selling vitamins. “Buy this from me & you’ll gain these benefits”. You can tell them info of value they don’t have Sell pain pills instead. “By not engaging us you’re losing valuable insights that are costing you money” Fear is a powerful drug that ushers in our friend Urgency Use them

Most people running these companies are far from ultra wealthy. Those people own corporations that thousands of people work for. I’m helping middle class people employ hundreds of people. The margins in a $50M business are a lost smaller than most realize

Pacifists don’t vote? Non-violence is a stance. It’s a stance against humans purposely hurting humans.

Highly intelligent nor disciplined made my list. Plenty of great leaders are average people I’m sure Vlad eats breakfast, has grooming habits, & works out. That doesn’t make eating healthy, haircuts, & working out bad Instead of hunting flaws to “expose” consider searching for solutions Onwards!

How come I do what? Kindly move along and harass someone who does the things you believe them guilty of doing I try to help leaders be better people & live better lives Partisanship of any flavor is distasteful; I would rather concentrate on helping the world be better every day Have a good day
