"That Feels Like Micromanaging." Does It? I try to write these newsletters in real time based on conversations I'm having, patterns I'm seeing in clients, things that keep repeating until I can't ignore them. It isn't the most efficient way t...

"That feels like micromanaging."

Three clients. Same word. Same fear. Same retreat from the very things that make leaders effective.

My newsletter unpacks why the label is doing too much work.

Come on City! 🩵

Six months ago today, Stop Managing, Start Leading was published.

Grateful for the feedback, reviews, and, most importantly, how people are using it in practice.

It’s also been put forward for the Business Book Awards 2026.

A small ask:

Happy 6-month book-aversary to Simon Jackson and Stop Managing, Start Leading! 🥂🍾

The ultimate guide for sales managers and leaders ready to elevate their game.

Brilliant! Made me laugh out loud 😅

Richard Ashcroft on top form last night in Liverpool. Looking forward to seeing him again at Neighbourhood Weekend.

People hope one day to be rich too (whatever that means to them). So they identify with that and try to protect that dream. It we turn our focus on the rich it challenges that dream. No one sees themselves becoming a migrant (or refugee) so it’s easier to disassociate and blame.

Cheers, lads @noisypod.bsky.social

Got this stuck in my head all day now

You could try the helpline if you have concerns…

🎶 Cry me a river 🎶

A small milestone I’m pleased to share.

Stop Managing, Start Leading has been entered into the Business Book Awards 2026.

Great to be alongside so many strong titles and authors.

If it helps sales leaders build better environments for their teams, it’s doing its job.

Eighteen Months. Is That Really All a CRO Gets? I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on the next + future podcast with Joel and Matt . One of the questions they asked me has stayed with me since.

The average CRO tenure is 18 months.

It isn’t a performance problem. It’s a structural one, accountability for revenue without control of the drivers behind it.

This week’s newsletter explores why, and what shifts the odds.

Is there any way to scrub any record of Joey Barton ever being connected with City? The guy is scum.

Absolute bobbins

Big game tonight. Just waiting for the Match Day bus with a pint to settle the nerves.

I’m guessing this is why we had a Tory government for 14-years.

Head wobbles.

Your Role Will End. The Question Is: How? | Simon Jackson Every February, LinkedIn fills up with two very different stories. People delighted to be starting new roles. And others quietly navigating a tough job market. Both are real. And both got me thinki...

Every role ends.

This isn't being pessimistic, it’s just how careers work.

The more interesting question is how it ends… and what you leave behind as a leader.

I’ve shared a few reflections on that in this week’s newsletter.

Over to you once you’ve read it.
