Someone shared with me a sign they used to keep by their desk. Said it helped them quite a bit when dealing with management.
Next was a fantastic conversation on CEO turnover data with Richard Gentry, Tim Quigley, and Steven Boivie. Not only did these folks put together a heroic open dataset on CEO succession, but they also published an article on it in a top #management journal. This gives me hope that management, like computer science, medicine, and other fields, can start rewarding scholars who put together massive datasets that others can build on. Highly recommend https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9waW5lY2FzdC5jb20vZmVlZC9idXNpbmVzcy1zY2hvbGFyc2hpcC1wb2RjYXN0/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly9waW5lY2FzdC5jb20vZ3VpZC9hNzIxOTQ1NS1hYWQwLTRhOWEtODRmNy1jMmZiMTE1MDZhYzg?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwiow8Ks2L-BAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA (6/10)
Useless middle managers have to defend being useless: "As more companies enforce their office mandates, some workers are choosing to quit instead of complying and returning to the office. Even companies at the forefront of remote work during the pandemic such as Facebook parent Meta, Google, Amazon and Zoom are getting stricter about office returns." #Management #WFH #HumanResources #productivity #labor https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/21/return-office-mandates-employees-quit/
The amount of time I spend as a manager looking at my calendar to resolve conflicts is too damn high. Google/Microsoft, get on that please. Give us a company-wide solver that organizes it all, and when it's intractable raises that to humans: ex. "due to existing constraints and higher-priority meetings, this meeting cannot be scheduled with all participants." #corporate #calendar #planning #management

" Question: For a firm seeking to improve — what comes first? #Six_Sigma #quality or #lean implementation?
James Womack: Agh! These are all the same thing. You need to start with the value stream for every product, draw a map of its current state, and ask about each step: Is it valuable? Is it capable? Is it available? Is it adequate? Is it flexible? Then ask whether each step flows smoothly to the next but only at the pull..."

Since the 1990s the problem is massively worse.

Halte aux méthodes du néomanagement !
Ces agents de la tristesse opèrent dans des domaines de plus en plus étendus, mais il en est certains où leurs méfaits sont assez récents et particulièrement choquants : l'éducation et la santé en font partie.
Ils se présentent en général comme des "managers"
Nos petits soldats du management se méfient, eux, du vivant, de la complexité, de l'insaisissable.

NEW RELEASE! S'adapter ou périr : Comment l'agilité change la vie https://leanpub.com/sadapterouperir #books #Agile #business #management
In the 7 years between my first and second engineering management roles, I invested in growing my leadership and people management skills
The TLDR of what I recommend:
1. Therapy & introspection & emotion regulation (know yourself, know your weakness, know your failure modes)
2. Choose the right manager who will support you (ask the spicy questions!)
3. Build your personal support network both inside *and* outside of your organization (of folks who have similar and different backgrounds, and at least some with management experience)
4. Start by NOT doing any of the "bad" management practices you've seen or heard of. Damaging trust or psychological safety is one of the hardest mistakes to recover from. Avoiding "bad" mistakes is far more important than doing "good" practices.
5. Invest in your communication skills in *every* way you can, particularly 1:1. Invest in understanding communication across neurotypes, and the diversity of mental health experiences (e.g., anxiety, PTSD
6. Invest in growing your inclusive leadership skills, and invest (continuously!) in growing your understanding of the experiences of people who ARE NOT like you (race, gender, ability, neurodiversity, culture, religion, class, etc)
6. Read "Making of a Manager" for first time managers to see the raw experiences said out loud: https://www.juliezhuo.com/book/manager.html
Additional Management Books:
Manager's Path, Resilient Management, Managing Humans
Non-management books:
- Crucial Conversations
- Burnout, by Emily & Amelia Nagoski
- (choose your own path among communication & inclusion resources)

Just amazing.
Yesterday’s #BradCast episode has the best and most nuanced overview of the #workers and #management’s positions at the #autoindustry #labor negotiations I’ve heard.
@TheBradBlog’s and @GreenNewsReport’s highly contextual and detailed description in Brad’s explanatory monologue prior to the interview with labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein is incredibly informative and helpful.
In conclusion, the meeting aimed to address staff concerns, reaffirm the club's values, and express confidence in the current management and recruitment strategies. [@TeleFootball]

Open Source Management
"So often we seem to focus on proprietary solutions. Instead it seems to me, most often what is needed is to do a good job of applying the ideas that have been known for decades. Deming ideas, design of experiments, lean thinking, experimentation, etc. are not secrets. There is a long history of how to apply these ideas to improve organizational performance."

Superior Customer Experiences
"Oakley found that there is a direct link between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction, and between customer satisfaction and improved financial performance."
Managing organizations is a complex endeavor. Employee satisfaction is one factor in an interdependent system that a manager must consider. The challenge is managing the interactions.
https://management.curiouscatblog.net/2005/11/19/superior-customer-experiences/
When I learn that someone I know to be a supervisor admires a public figure with a heavy-handed style, I think to myself, "What is their management style? How do they try to motivate their employees? Do they use fear, intimidation, or insults?"
Those are ineffective strategies for interacting with friends and they are no better with employees. Having endured insecure bosses that operated in such a fashion, it took me a while to overcome the bad examples they set in my early days as a new supervisor. After I did, I enjoyed a far smoother path to a happy and successful career.
So treat your employees with trust and respect; show genuine interest in their lives; give them the credit for doing great work which will reflect positively on you; address performance problems in private while seeking cooperative solutions that are practical and avoid value judgements; encourage professional development; take your employees out to lunch often and talk about topics other than the workplace. It may take a while to build mutual trust. But if you do such things, your employees will want to do a great job for you and your role as supervisor will get much easier.
In a recent column, I penned some thoughts on 'A Psychological Safety Primer'. This week I go beyond those basics and outline some of the essentials for managers to engender not only a safer, but also a higher-performing work environment.

I have an idea for planning and executing tasks that I will try in the next project
Make categories of tasks not only by priority, but by mood
The tasks of a higher priority and difficult tasks are put under the most kind and positive mood.
If the mood is bad, then during this time do boring and routine tasks
🤪 Cheerful and inspired
🙂 Positive
🙄 Sad or apathetic
😠 Negative

His fixation grew Mon, when #Musk threatened to sue the group — initially for $4B, & subsequently up to $22B — claiming the org’s criticism of his #management of #X has led to a 60% drop in #advertising #revenue. In 1 post, he said the #ADL was “trying to kill this platform.”
It all began in Nov when the ADL called on #advertisers to pause their #spending on the site “until it becomes clear whether #Twitter remains committed to being a safe place for advertisers as well as #society overall.”
Can it be any surprise that after a decade of stagnant real #wages, the dire state of UK #management practice, the continued media focus on celebrity culture (where the talentless but 'entertaining' are rewarded) & a #Tory government that has made it its #business to shove money to its mates, that a significant minority of young people increasingly do not see a clear link between hard work and a 'better life'.
The only Q. is how fast is this feeling spreading?
A valuable practice for leaders is to set aside time for strategic thinking. Here are the questions I interrogate myself with:

Creative people are at all levels of an organization, including the janitor, and are not ‘human resources’ but individuals who have the capability of gaining wisdom. What are often referred to as ‘soft skills’ are becoming more important than traditional hard skills. Why is this? First of all, work in networks requires different skills than in controlled hierarchies. Information and #knowledge flow faster and new connections are constantly being made.

I'm not to the point of firing That One Guy, but definitely to the point where I don't want him on my project
He's causing more work than he's doing. Checking in without pushing the submodule it depends on is a rookie mistake
Letting me fix it and then walking right back to your office and doing it *again* is just too much on top of everything else
Not sure I actually can get rid of him, so I've told him flat out to be more careful and maybe take a class.

Yesterday my boss’s boss’s boss and my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss were both fired (sorry, “they left the company for personal reasons”).
Boss and boss’s boss said we could go for a little walk to process the news if we needed. As if. 😂 To this day I’m still in awe of how out of touch people become when they become bosses.
Along with #CriticalThinking skills, I hope more leaders embrace #SystemsThinking

Hier meine Thesen: 👇👇👇
Day 23 managing a new team
🤯 I carry near zero cognitive load for the tasks and responsibilities I've delegated over the last couple weeks
While I led CDN security as a non-manager responsible for developing and executing on strategy via influence without authority, I carried immense cognitive load — the security posture, security guidance, threat model, roadmap, investments in flight, accountability, etc — from the big picture down to all the details.
Now it's just the big picture of the roadmap, posture, and accountability.
Because I had to borrow bits of roadmap from various people and teams, I had to carry more of the security context, roadmap context, and accountability context, and couldn't always rely on stakeholders to drive work. Whereas my reports own and drive their work on behalf of our team because…it's a single, coherent team rather than a network of several dozen people responsible for various pieces of an enormously complex cross-functional puzzle.
What a wild evolution.
"Corporate threw a big staff party last weekend... but they won't let Marg in Customer Service take the afternoon off to attend her aunt's funeral."
Is a company culture problem and all the art, foosball tables & cubicle arranging in the world won't solve it or make staff care about work.
Overheard 2 businessmen discussing corporate office changes so that employees "won't feel like just a cog in a machine."
They came up with these 'great' strategies:
- Rearrange the cubicles
- Art on the walls
- Seat managers closer to employees
- More team fun events
Notably not discussed:
- More pay
- Profit sharing
- More ownership of decisions & input
- Recognition of employee successes
- More PTO and/or work-life flexibility
- WFH options
Good luck guys! 😆
I've got two recent grads in my group under my de facto...mentorship? Command?
They are both very smart. One is very confident he can do things but is less effective, one is less confident and more effective.
I'm very unused to constructive criticism and other #leadership skills so I'm not sure how to turn down the confidence and turn up the effectiveness.
I mean, I know what to do. "Test. Be skeptical of your own work/ideas."
I don't know how to say that.
Sometimes I may rant a little too much for many people's liking on #LinkedIn - But if you are interested in #MentalHealth at #Work and #HR and #Law or are a commercial #Lawyer and also interested in #Wellness and #Wellbeing then you may like this.
Some good reminders about the fundamentals of management and leadership https://entrepreneurshandbook.co/5-things-you-will-never-learn-from-management-books-66d5ce3db4d9
Even if you're joking, diminishing someone's (difficult) role in a project years after completion still means you're a shitty fuckin leader
If you want high-performing teams who share your drive and passion, help your employees outgrow you. Give them the opportunity to develop their personal brand and provide input and advice on freelancing, job hunting or portfolio building.

Amazing read on why performance reviews are fundamentally flawed #management https://medium.com/@ElizAyer/annual-performance-reviews-ruin-everything-7464e07dff3a
A report by Be The Business (a Govt. supported charity) reported in the FT, interestingly puts a large part of the blame for the UK's stagnated #productivity growth, not at the feet of #workers, but rather as a direct consequence of complacent management with a miss-placed confidence in its abilities.
This chimes well with my recent conclusions on the problem with #managers in a piece for @NWBylines
UK has a #management problem that needs urgently addressing/solving!

I've been thinking about who is really to blame for the current malaise in the UK;
sure the #Tories take a big slice of that, but I also think we need to be clear that #management for the most part in the UK is not up to the job...
from accidental managers to bullies & narcissists, we have a management problem in this country....

Frauenanteil in Chefetagen kommunaler Firmen steigt kaum
Der Anteil weiblicher Führungskräfte ist in den privaten DAX-Konzernen höher als in Unternehmen, die der öffentlichen Hand gehören. In den kommunalen Firmen wächst der Anteil auch nur sehr langsam, wie eine Studie zeigt.
