Building Your Leadership Support Portfolio Earlier this week I spoke about having a ‘Support Portfolio’ for your leadership development.

Earlier this week I was speaking about the idea of having a support portfolio. But I find that many leaders over-rely on what's readily available rather than what they might actually need. Read more in my article

The Identity Vacuum I’ve written about professional identity before.

Your impact as a leader isn't about being the go-to person or what you personally deliver.

Worth the read. #leadership #newmanager

It's summer, and I'm re-reading The Hitchhiker's Guide for the umpteenth time. The computer ultimate answer to everything is 42, but nobody knows the question. New EMs get told "build trust, create psychological safety" - but how? #EngineeringLeadership #NewManager

Mindset Reset Monday:

What I wish someone told me: Good managers don’t rush to rescue, they pause to empower.
Shift from “I need to fix this” to “I need to coach through this.”
