By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. Choice ; it’s a simple, yet critical aspect of leadership. Academics and business theorists often gloss over the basics of leadership preferring to trivialize their importance. It’s far too easy for those with an elitist approach to leadership to dismiss simple as sophomoric, and obvious as irrelevant – nothing could be further from reality.

There’s a foundation to successful business execution that is undeniably critical – the workplace culture. Bad cultures can’t execute very well. Period. You might even say that they are doomed to failure, rich in dysfunction, seeped in mistrust, and (most often) guided by fear. Leaders have to face the culture building challenge straight on, and almost always in situations where the “nuts and bolts” side of the business still demands a majority of their time.

I was just asked about a particular startup situation (seed stage, CMO hire, non-founder) and particularly what compensation and equity is appropriate. I know a lot more about CTOs specifically CTO Salary and Equity Trends 2009-2011 , Visualization of Startup CTO Equity and Salary Data , Startup CTO Salary and Equity Data , but I've previously written about the issues with Equity for Early Employees in Early Stage Startups.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Change Starts Here

NOVEMBER 14, 2012

I tend to make a major distinction between those people in an organization who influence change without authority – change agents – and those who influence change with authority – leaders. And, when I coach change agents , much of our time is focused on influencing leaders to do what they need to do to support the change initiative.

Lead on Purpose

NOVEMBER 10, 2012

Guest post by Sarah Rawson. Throughout the ages, leaders and followers alike have wondered whether the process of leadership depends on inborn traits or whether it can be taught. Great leaders are either born or trained. Still, some people who strive for leadership never quite achieve it. This leads many people to believe that there must be some factors out of a person’s control.

According to research from Catalyst, women get fewer of the high visibility, mission-critical roles and international experiences (i.e., “hot jobs”) that are necessary to get ahead at global companies. The Catalyst report , Good Intentions, Imperfect Execution? Women Get Fewer of the Hot Jobs Needed to Advance , suggests that this unequal access to those “hot jobs” may be an underlying cause of the senior-level gender gap in business.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

As the scandal around former CIA director General David Petraeus unfolds, it’s hard to find anyone who has covered themselves in glory. It’s all pretty discouraging. Earlier this year, I wrote a post on how leaders need to have a strategy to deal with the temptations they’ll undoubtedly encounter. It says everything I would have to say about the Petraeus story.

This week marks a significant milestone in the history of SailPoint – one that my cofounders, Kevin Cunningham and Jackie Gilbert, and I could have only imagined when we founded the company. I’m happy to say that after several office expansions and some creative “people-cramming” solutions in Austin, we officially moved into a brand-new facility that reflects the quality and presence of our growing company, and provides a true “global headquarters” for our team.

Admit it: as much as you value social media, professionally and personally, every so often you get a twinge of angst while sifting through your peers’ posts—the latest client conquest, dinner with an industry celeb, a headline-making accolade… You know what I’m talking about: The posts that you publicly “like,” but privately loathe, and that send you spiraling into a heightened state of insecurity, muttering things like, “I’ll never have a high-profile client,” “What am I doing wrong?

Mark Twain said, " Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. " Fiction pales in light of the Patreaus fiasco. I am simply astounded at Patraeus' grievously poor judgment and lack of virtue. The relationships and timing of all these events vis-a-vis the yet-to-be-revealed real truth about the Benghazi tragedy call so much into question - about our national security, decisions made about/in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.

'CIOs need to be ready to deal with all sorts of clouds. Quick question: what is the #1 job of a CIO? Hmm, good question, eh? Although this should really be part of the definition of information technology, I’m pretty sure that we could sit around and debate just exactly what is the #1 job of a CIO all day; however, I’m also pretty sure that we could agree that bringing innovation into the business has to be one of the top jobs of both the CIO and the entire IT department.

NEWS AND INSIGHTS UPDATE: According to research from the U.K.’s Association of Accounting Technicians, women who are “forced by time or financial constraints” to leave their careers after giving birth earn 60% less now than they did before they went on maternity leave.

Feedback mechanisms serve as a reflection of an organization, business unit, department, or individual’s performance. At times, these mirrors reveal exceptional performance; in other cases, good or satisfactory performance; and in some instances poor or unacceptable performance. Too often, the individual or group holding the mirror, whether a performance metric, an internal self-assessment, or a third party audit, is blamed for the performance indicated.

When Jim Rohn said, “All the information you need to succeed already exists, the problem is you haven’t exposed yourself to it,” it was one of the most challenging and eye-opening statements I had ever heard.
