Are you falling into these leadership traps?


Hi there,

How leaders shape their team’s growth can make or break its success. We all know how bad leadership ruins teams and culture. But what about good leaders? What is the biggest mistake they make that limits team growth?.

🔝Leadership and Limiting Team Growth

Are You Accidentally Stifling Your Team's Growth?

"Your role as a leader isn’t to be the sole problem-solver or decision-maker. It’s to create an environment where your team feels empowered to rely on one another and work together to move forward"

☑️Building Trust as an Engineering Leader

Over the past few months, I've been sitting down with HR and people leaders across industries to ask one question: what actually happens when HR takes a seat at the AI transformation table?...

Hi Reader! A few months back, I sat across from a talented CTO who looked exhausted. For anyone around her, she had a stunning career — a senior leadership role, a great salary, and respect from her team. But when I asked what she wanted next, she went quiet. "I don't know," she finally said. "A bigger role at a more established company? A risky startup? Maybe something completely different, like an NGO?" She had options. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that she didn't know which...

Hi Reader! Last week, a Head of HR at a tech consulting firm shared her concern with me: "We're going full scale into AI—trying various tools across many functions, training people, writing policies.
