Darth Vader wasn’t always a mysterious meanie, the Grinch’s heart didn’t start out two sizes too small, and as legend has it, Mr. Scrooge was once a charming and likable fellow. Chances are that jerk in your office didn’t start out as a horse’s behind either. So why do so many managers move to the dark side–putting their Winning Well common sense aside and becoming a destructive force for their teams?

I’ve been obsessed with how to iterate quickly based on small scale feedback lately. One awesome website I encountered is Usability Hub which lets you run 5 second tests. Users see your site for 5 seconds and you can ask them free-form questions afterwards. The nice thing is you don’t even have to build the site – just upload a static png/jpg and collect data.

Trust is tricky. It sure looks easy on paper (or a blog post.) But get out in real life, and what seems obvious and easy, suddenly becomes more difficult than securing funding for a corporate hover-craft. The sooner we talk about trust, why it works, and how it breaks down the better. That’s why I always start any emerging leader program by talking about trust.

Early last year when I left Spotify I decided to do more reading. I was planning to read at least one book per week and in particular I wanted to brush up on management, economics, and technology. 2015 was also a year of exclusively non-fiction, which is a pretty drastic shift, since I grew up reading fiction compulsively for 20 years. My goal for 2015 failed – I ended up reading about 40 books last year.

Over time, individuals and teams develop practices that work for them. When another way comes along that could improve results, they often put up a wall that says, if it wasn’t invented here, then it won’t work for us. Even people who genuinely want to improve results and who admit others’ success with different practices can find ways to block having to adopt those practices for themselves.

The video at this link and embedded below captures a historic first for humanity. Thanks to SpaceX and the many incredible engineers, planners, thinkers and leaders there, they have successfully proven that real space rockets, the kind that lift heavy payloads into working orbits, can now be safely returned to earth. The biggest cost of launch is the engine in the rocket, and these engines can be refurbished and reused, meaning the cost of space launch can be made dramatically lower.

My seven-year-old daughter’s collections of art and toys piled up in empty corners and on the floor. No matter how much we tried to organize, give away, or throw out, her room was a perpetual disaster area. Part of the problem was the layout of the furniture in her room, where some corners just cried out for stashes of stuff to collect. My suggestion to move things around was met with much excitement.

Without a doubt, the peer rating is by far the most consistent shocker for folks taking a 360 degree feedback assessment. Managers usually have a good grip on what their boss thinks, and at least an inkling of the pain points for their direct reports, but for some reason peer feedback tends to feel like stepping on a lego in the middle of the night– yikes, where did THAT come from?
