It is a compilation of lived and learned experiences, the experiential education which bounds your way of thinking and does not define a rulebook.

I was blown away by an email I received from a woman who recently read Winning Well. I was touched on so many levels… by her brave journey toward authenticity in the workplace, by her clear sense of confident humility, by her gratitude for accepting leaders and an inclusive workplace, and quite frankly by the fact that there are Winning Well CEOs out there looking for other Winning Well leaders who have the ability to value competence and confidence over all the other crap that gets i

On paper, and in your head, you have the best team in the world – and yet, things are not clicking. You feel like you have the “ right people on the bus “, but right now, it’s just a bus going to nowhere. What to do? First off, you are not alone – this is a classic dilemma that has spawned a ton of books, studies, white papers, seminars, webinars and head scratching that have attempted to discern the core issues and solutions.

Here’s a conclusion I’ve made building consumer products for many years: the speed at which a company innovates is limited by its iteration speed. I don’t even mean throughput here. I just mean the cycle time. Invoking Little’s law this is also related to the total inventory of features not being deployed yet. In a hypothetical scenario, clone two teams of identical engineers and split them up in two groups A and B.

Her call touched me deeply. She was trying so hard… to establish the right vision, to key in on the important behaviors, to scaffold and develop…and her team just wasn’t listening. Perhaps you’ve been there too. You’ve got vision. You care deeply. You teach. You repeat yourself. But no one seems to “get it”?

What’s sabotaging your growth? Driving profitable growth is at the top of every leader’s priority list. Yet, according to Bain and Company, only 10% succeed in achieving sustainable profitable growth. While growth is the life-blood of every business, at some point, your company will experience the double edge sword of growth. Either your company will grow faster than your internal capacity to handle it.

Truly understanding design is easier said than done. Coding and aesthetic design require very different skill sets, which is why some front-end developers aren’t as proficient in design as they could be, and the quality of their work suffers for it. In this post, Toptal Freelance Software Engineer Bryan Grezeszak explains why good front-end developers have to follow essential design principles down to the pixel, and should regularly seek out advice and feedback from their designers.

I do a lot of recruiting and have given maybe 50 offers in my career. Although many companies do, I never put a deadline on any of them. Unfortunately, I’ve often ended up competing with other companies who do, and I feel really bad that this usually tricks younger developers into signing offers. On numerous occasions, I’ve gotten an email halfway through the interview process.

Leadership is a balancing act. Imagine the tightrope walker at the circus, precariously navigating from one side of the big top to the other. If the walker puts too much weight on one side or the other, they’ll take a big fall. And so it is for those who lead, and what’s more, it requires a deft sense of self-awareness and guile- and just a bit of schizophrenia.

If you haven't been working with PHP lately, you might wonder what happened to PHP 6. Why the skip from PHP 5 to PHP 7? Well, long story short, PHP 6 was a failure. To avoid confusion, the new version was renamed PHP 7. PHP 7 introduces a number of new features, while at the same time dropping depreciated SAPIs and extensions. As a result, it tends to outperform PHP 5.x by a wide margin.
