We’re getting close to closing out 2023 and opening 2024.
What could be done differently in 2024 to avoid the quote below?
“Beware of monotony; it’s the mother of all the deadly sins.” – Edith Wharton

Consider how teams could be empowered to avoid the pitfalls above.
Do you think there is confusion about leadership and management?
I certainly do, which explains the quote from Peter Drucker below.
“Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things.”

Look for leaders who can manage. Grow managers who can lead.
Hire for attitude and train for skill.
Product development teams thrive with solid leadership and prefer leadership qualities over management qualities.
