There's no sugarcoating it: 2025 will likely be the end of the line for The Sprawl unless we get more financial support. Read our update—and please pitch in if you can.

This might be one of the most under-utilized concepts for helping leaders understand and use their power.

We added some (hopefully helpful) context and signs/symptoms of when you're moving from one zone into another.

Feminist women stopped talking about love because we found that love was harder to get than power.

If feminists had continued to talk about love, then we would have needed to speak about the extreme lovelessness that is at the heart of domination.

Leadership development is broken.

And it shows.

We need a new model for navigating power dynamics.

Because power-over and power-as-control are what facilitate so much of the misuses and abuses of power in our world.

Grateful to dig into it with Dr. Amanda Aguilera on The Power Dynamic podcast recently.

I've tuned out 99% of mainstream thought leadership.

Because most of the time it's a tired repetition of reinforcing the status quo.

But @francesfrei.bsky.social and Anne Morriss are in that 1% of leadership thinkers who aren't afraid to (compassionately) challenge us all do do and be better.
The need for good political leadership in America has never been greater, and there's a whole lot of things that need fixing.
 
One opportunity is to change the Democratic Party's relationship with conflict, a source of creativity and progress on high-performing teams.

Tune in to Fixable.

Confidence is often perceived as an individual trait—something you either have or you don’t.

But is that truly the case?

In reality, confidence is co-created. It’s about the environment we foster, the trust we build, and the psychological safety leaders provide.
