Advice for Middle Management

Your team will sabotage your career worse than any other nemesis at work, if you let them.

Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself and your company from sabotage:

Who’s popular? Yeah, I know. It sounds like highschool, but like then it’s still in important and socially real factor that’s now kept track of on social media sites.

What is your team’s weakness as perceived by those outside? By the team itself? A good manager can appease the two.

Whose skills are the most respected? Yup you have to get along with this douchebag, if she or he is one. Just create enough space between the two of you.

Any others?

Who Is An Inspiring CEO?

Who is an inspiring CEO?

For my next job, I want to work for an inspiring CEO. Not someone who gets whispered about in the industry as being “weird,” or a “control freak.” Not someone that puts doubt into people. I hate getting asked questions that sound more like accusations, “You work(ed) for him/her?” I’ve always defended my CEOs record.

Here’s what I mean by inspiring:
1) Says the right things that motivate people in the company.
2) Recognizes when people would gladly sacrifice for the company and acknowledges it. I’m talking about an honor based company.
3) Welcomes convivial debate.
4) Leads by doing.
5) Would probably find a solution to the Kobayashi Maru test.

If you know of an inspiring CEO, I would love to hear about it.
