I was just reading your post on LinkedIn and probably this is the best way to avoid getting stuck believing wrong stuff, enjoying healthy tension and disagreement from people who challenge you and your beliefs. By the way, the “20 years of experience” question from your PhD student is very cool.

Lo que hace la gente por recortar costes. Leía por aquí un estudio sobre el flattening de Meta, poco antes de la comunicación de su limpia de los performers, y te preguntas si esto último es consecuencia de lo otro.

When I read your post, my mind always think about politicians.

Trust must be earned.

An interesting story related to this is the following which highlights the difference of delegation in a laissez faire way and empowering people to make decisions based on a purpose or “why”, building leaders.

And now they want to fire low performers, which could be fair, but also also a consequence of their efficiency efforts. Who knows.

Yeah. Survival mode ON, looking for good personal performance metrics over collaboration, team outcome, or bigger purpose metrics. Bye bye trust or safety.
I wonder if this is the result or it was part of the strategy when looking for efficiency, and doing the Flatter is faster.

Nice post. Many tradeoffs to assume when they decided to reduce costs.
