You're a smart leader who cares about people.
That doesn't mean they don't drive you crazy.
If you didn't care, then they would just be a management problem.
Instead you're frustrated with someone you're responsible for,
which feels bad in a way that’s hard to talk about.
That's what this space is for.
Once a month, a group of us get on Zoom for an hour and bring our people problems, because you can't see the real shape of something from inside it.
Come hang out with some other smart leaders who care about people. Bring your problem (or just your perspective), and together we'll find a new vantage point.
How it works
We'll skip the resumé and job title and share something that describes you as a leader:
"Hi, I'm (name), an (adjective) (noun) who (verbs)."
Depending on how many of us there are, we might split off for a few minutes first to get your problem down to a single sentence, then bring it back to the group and see whose problem person is secretly the same person.
It's free, it's casual, and it's a good way to meet other people who take this seriously. We just do it by talking about something real instead of doing rounds of small talk.
The rules
Nothing is recorded
No names, no identifying details, no company names.
What gets said in the room stays in the room, and everyone agrees to that before we start.
You can keep it as vague as you need to. The problem is usually still solvable at a distance.
When
Second Thursday of every month, 3pm Eastern
Next session: Thursday, October 8
