@evanlapointe Great point, thanks!

[Barbara Schachner 🇺🇦🌻 @barschachner]

@evanlapointe Because people will still get better if they try? 🤷‍♀️
Maybe I‘m not completely getting what you mean.

[Barbara Schachner 🇺🇦🌻 @barschachner]

@evanlapointe Sound rather delusional than useful

[Barbara Schachner 🇺🇦🌻 @barschachner]

@evanlapointe I was assuming it’s a No. But not sure if that’s the real or useful answer 😉

[Barbara Schachner 🇺🇦🌻 @barschachner]

@evanlapointe Can everyone become 2? And can you develop everyone to become 2? (given they would want to or would even see the need)

This is big:

@dklineii 💯 That’s the real art of developing people. Seeing where they could grow and provide the right challenges and opportunities to practice and build the muscle.
Too often, those 2 are not combined.

Underrated life advice: Bet on yourself more often. Apply for the job. Start the business. Send the message. Take the trip. Ask the girl. You have to trust yourself enough to take the first step without knowing exactly where the path leads.

When I first started managing, I promoted my star developer. They quit a few months later. Their exit interview: "I was promoted to a job I didn't want, and no one trained me how to do it." Here are 4 tests I now run before any management promotion:

@evanlapointe Once you see this, it’s so hard to unsee - and it’s astonishing how many environments award fast and shiny outcomes over consistent and sustainable progress with long-term impact.

People don't realize it, but anyone who uses AI, knows an AI response or post when they read it.

...and it detracts from your reputation every time you do that.

Reads like laziness.

This paper confirms what we mostly knew anyway that phishing tests don't improve much, if anything.

Best to focus on technical controls that mitigate the risks more directly.

@blakeaburge And learn a proper handshake ☺️🤝

[Barbara Schachner 🇺🇦🌻 @barschachner]

@evanlapointe Thanks. That makes sense 👍

[Barbara Schachner 🇺🇦🌻 @barschachner]

@evanlapointe sorry: … or just cope with it?

[Barbara Schachner 🇺🇦🌻 @barschachner]

@evanlapointe It feels like some people thrive in political environments, while it’s draining for others. Any chance to change that also, it just cope with it?

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Underrated life advice: One of the biggest wastes of energy is trying to control how you are perceived. People will misunderstand you. They will misjudge you. They will form opinions with incomplete information. So be it. Focus on what is true, not what is said.

@brettboettcher1 Would you also recommend this for women, considering highly sensitive hormonal balance?

The bosses we remember:

1 told us our work mattered
2 opened career doors
3 defended us when we needed it
4 recognized and rewarded us
5 developed us as leaders
6 inspired us to stretch higher
7 led by example
8 provided us a safe space to grow
9 forgave us when we made mistakes
10 appreciated high rate of learning
12 were player coaches - skin in the game
13 apologized when they made mistakes
14 sponsored our work (career pathing)
15 led us by questions not answers (taught us how to think, not what to think)
16 in a celebration led from the back, in a crisis led from the front, in the presence of a better plan, followed side-to-side
17 asked for feedback
18 allowed the best ideas to win, not the best titles
19 showed up on time, left when it made sense to leave
20 did not speak poorly behind others back
