By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth . Leaders don’t offer, nor do they accept excuses. True leadership demands the character to demonstrate personal responsibility for one’s actions, and the courage to hold others accountable for theirs. Excuses attempt to conceal personal or professional insecurities, laziness, and/or lack of ability.

“How did you KNOW it was a success?” I asked that question several times last week in a forum that I participated in with a group of business people. We were trading best practices about process and training initiatives that had been considered “successful” I have a problem with using that kind of word without some facts to back it up.

I’m shamelessly promoting my first major open source project. Luigi is a Python module that helps you build complex pipelines of batch jobs, handle dependency resolution, and create visualizations to help manage multiple workflows. It also comes with Hadoop support built in (because that’s where really where its strength becomes clear). We use Luigi internally at Spotify to run thousands of tasks every day, organized in complex dependency graphs.

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.

When writing on your website, twitter, help wanted ads, whatever it may be; it’s important to write for the people you want to read it. If you have everything written in very professional language with a very professional website, those are the sort of people that will be attracted to your ad, or website etc.

Lots of us grew up believing in the idea that if you just do good work, the work will speak for itself. That’s one of those beliefs that’s true until it isn’t. When it isn’t is that when so much is going on that top management probably won’t notice good work unless you speak for it. The more senior top management is, the more likely this is to be true They simply have too many things to pay attention to to recognize or acknowledge all the things that are going right.

You just can’t make this stuff up. According to a study reported by CNN (which has since been removed from the CNN website), women vote according to their ovulation cycles. When a women is ovulating, she is more likely to vote for the liberal candidate. Really CNN? Really study sponsors?

I often get asked if every conflict can be resolved. Since I work with leaders and teams to resolve workplace conflicts and to build the confidence people have to address conflicts, I think it’s a really good question. The short answer is: yes, every conflict can be resolved. The question does have one problem though — it is incomplete. It is incomplete in that people often ask the question with an unspoken assumption about the outcome of the resolution process.
