I've been developing leaders for the last 5 years.

Bad leaders all struggled for different reasons.

The best leaders all focused on these 7 principles:
The Flywheel

Building a great team is like pushing a flywheel. It's really tough at first but builds momentum with each push.

Take this approach with your team, do the hard things now that will make your life easier in the future.
Radical Candor

Radical Candor means you care personally and challenge directly. It is how you build trust. (Shout out @kimballscott)

Care Personally by being empathetic and grateful.

Challenge Directly by being straightforward and sincere with your feedback.

In September, 4.5 million people in the US quit their job--almost 2 every second.

Struggling to keep your top performers?

Here are 7 things your employees need from you:
1. They need to know what is expected of them

Don't assume people know what excellence in their role looks like.

- Be resilient about onboarding
- Create effective communication processes
- Trust but verify
2. They need tools to be successful

Small investments in the right tools will go a long way.

- Listen to what your team needs
- Find the most impactful roadblocks
- Deliver on their requests when you can

Earlier this week, Twitter hired a new CEO

Like most companies these days, they promoted from within

If you’re out of the loop on the benefits of promoting from within, here’s a 90-second summary:
It's Effecient

Onboarding new managers hired internally is a much simpler process than a new manager unfamiliar with your organization's systems, culture, and expectations.

This means your team spends less time in limbo, wondering who their new boss will be.
Less Expensive

You can hire 4 internal candidates for the cost of 1 external candidate.

Internal candidates are also more likely to stay.

(If your Development and HR teams aren't working together, now is the time to start.)

It took me 10 months to grow from 1k followers to 5k.

In the last two months, I doubled that.

Here is what I'm learning:

🧵
Social media is about being SOCIAL

Stop overthinking everything and make some friends.

- Start conversations in DMs
- Offer to help without expectations
- Let people know when you like something you like

Also:

- Don't spam
- Don't be a creep
- Don't stress getting ghosted
Hustle for Distribution

If you are working hard writing, you need a plan to get your work in front of an audience.

Writing isn't enough to get your work seen.

- Turn on notifications for big accounts and comment
- DM your best content to friends
- Find communities to join

11 Ways to Become a Leader People Will Admire:
Sacrifice Your Ego

Becoming an inspirational leader means working for impact and not a title.

This means being humble enough to accept feedback from everyone on your team and using it as a tool for rapid growth.
Do What You Say You Will

This is Leadership 101, but it becomes increasingly challenging as your team grows.

Trust takes time to develop, but missing commitments will cause your team to question your competence.
