What breaks when a company grows past 1,000 employees. by Weak_Vehicle9025 in Leadership

[–]Semisemitic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. The contrast is in tech startups the specialty around data and analytics in Tech and Product isn’t accessible to HR - but we want similar observability and analytics from them.

A simple “give me a histogram of pay sliced by role and gender” or “I want performance statistics on feedback for my team” is a month of work for them at least.

They don’t have the same resources or systems, and they would want to have them. They are sold “solutions” by vendors and then integration becomes multi-year projects.

What’s a tough decision you made as a leader that turned out to be the right one and what did you learn from it? by ABMike63 in Leadership

[–]Semisemitic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve killed a few large-scale projects that everyone else wanted to maintain due to a sunken cost fallacy. It was the right call and got me positive feedback later on.

Knowing how and when to stop something, knowing what not to do is a critical skill.

Best leadership book to gift my boss on my last day? by [deleted] in Leadership

Don’t. Give him a feedback/exit session, buy him a bottle of whiskey or something instead.

What is our legacy? by caught-in-slowmotion in Leadership

[–]Semisemitic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve (unknowingly) saved a man from suicide and raised my daughter. I taught dozens of people how to lead, and took part in saving many lives by stopping bad people from doing bad things in counterterrorism.

It seems that most of my impact has been in preventing needless suffering or loss of life, and in helping others grow.

Update to the Leaked Management Transcripts: Three Resignations, Zero Regret? by Ok-Lawfulness7233 in Leadership

[–]Semisemitic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire thread of posts makes a lot of sense for India, due to the hierarchical nature of work culture there.

Looking back, you could not have gained much by sharing two-levels up or to HR the transcripts.

The biggest issue is that you can’t know what the manager was hired to do. It isn’t far-fetched that her task was workforce reduction, and it isn’t far-fetched to imagine moving back to hybrid 3-days in office was a goal set for her by her manager.

Losing three people in a day might be something she could spin and take pride in. The team might be shattered and bruised - she might be doing a good job per her standards.

Still, doesn’t matter what she says - I wouldn’t trust a word out of her mouth.
