@BootsUK I really don't appreciate this given the reason I can't is because your android app has been broken for months on end! And no-one responds when contacted.

One more time: Women aren't too emotional to lead.

Data: When men are anxious and stressed, they're more likely to be rude, hostile, and abusive. Women show respect regardless of their feelings.

The test of emotional intelligence is not how you feel. It's how you respond.

"My engineering org has 40 engineers in it, but the CEO won't let me hire any dedicated engineering managers. He says we need everyone writing code, and can't take the hit to our velocity. I think he's wrong but am struggling to make the case.. help??" 😱

Probably the best thing you'll see today.

In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

"Don't argue with the boss" is not a demand for respect. It's a sign of a fragile ego.

Insecure leaders silence dissent to shield their self-esteem and save face. Secure leaders welcome critiques to improve their judgment.

Being open to challenges is a prerequisite for growth.

Great leaders don't see themselves as great.

Great leaders see themselves as human.

The first 5 minutes of a Product Design/Product Sense question in a PM interview are critical... and most people fail.

I’ve interviewed 100s of PMs (and aspiring PMs) and here’s a 🧵 with the top 3 WHY they fail and HOW you can fix it 👇

The pain scale doesn't work because the 10 of someone who hasn't experienced much physical pain or illness will be the 3 of someone who has.

11 Promises from a Manager: a 🧵

1. We’ll have a weekly 1:1. I’ll never cancel this meeting, but you can cancel it whenever you like. It’s your time.

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

This is (one reason) we're burnt out.

We spend more than half our day doing “work about work” (ex: searching for information, managing shifting priorities, chasing status updates) rather than *actual* work.

Busy work drains. Real work exhilarates.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Creativity begins to die when we fail to celebrate curiosity.

We reward students for getting the right answer, but not for asking good questions. We promote managers for delivering results, but not for developing new ideas.

Encouraging imagination is the mother of invention.

[Sam @sambhigham]

Be confident that you probably don't have the best answer, but don't assume that someone else has a better one right now.

Speak up and be heard.
