The problem with common frameworks is that they are too board to allow you to give an insightful synthesis. And as more and more candidates start to use them frequently, it is harder to impress the interviewers. Hence, I would like to give you two secret models to help you delight your interviewers.

Controversies are amongst the most difficult types of negative events to manage effectively. Why? Because they are emotionally charged situations that automatically segregate your audience. Not to mention that, due to their emotional relatability, they present a high-risk for fast escalation and virality. Furthermore, our current societal climate-with the Me Too and Time’s Up movements, our collective stance against racial discrimination, and more-controversial issues are an increasing hig

I teach the people I mentor that leadership means accepting responsibility for things that aren’t your fault. The individual contributor that stays in that role for an entire career does what is asked, but no more. If something goes wrong, she says, "I didn’t make a mistake. You can’t blame me for that one. That’s not my job.". The aspiring leader realizes a problem may not be her fault, but will often make it her responsibility to fix it.

What I’m attempting is to take enough of a step back to determine what I want to do with my business for the rest of my life. That might be five more years of work, or 25, I don’t know. But I do know I want it to be fun for me and valuable for my clients.

Begin in the middle. The first paragraph, where you lay out what's about to happen. The half-apology you use to preface your comments at the meeting. The email that takes a paragraph or two to get to the point. You can skip those. Throat clearing is a good way to make sure that people are looking at you. And an even better way to give yourself time to collect your thoughts, to indulge your fears or to get yourself warmed up.

Agile approaches can help a team release more often. When a team releases more often, the product people can replan the product roadmaps. The project portfolio people can replan the project portfolio. Not every team releases often enough to take advantage of replanning small and often. Everyone falls prey to “too much” thinking. The product people don’t create MVEs or MVPs —they need the entire feature set.

From Merriam-Webster: To procrastinate is to go against the old saying, “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” Appropriately, the word procrastinate has the Latin word cras, meaning “tomorrow,” tucked inside it, because when you procrastinate you often are putting something off until the next day…… Consider this scenario: “This is a perfect time to get some work done.” (Your brain)…”Nope.

Ice skating requires two things: smooth ice and gravity. Without a reliable foundation, you can't move forward. And without the constraints and boundaries put on us by gravity, you can't move at all. The free market, the holy grail of some capitalists, is similar. In a completely unbounded environment, markets can't develop, investments won't get made, nothing moves forward.
