Many people think leadership is a higher calling that resides exclusively with a select few who practice and preach big, complex leadership philosophies. But as this practical book reveals, what’s most important for leadership is principled consistency. Time and again, small things done well build trust and respect within a team.
Using stories from his time at Netscape, Apple, and Slack, Michael Lopp presents a series of small but compelling practices to help you build leadership skills. You’ll learn how to create teams that are highly productive, highly respected, and highly trusted. Lopp has been speaking and writing about this topic for over a decade and now maintains a Slack leadership channel with over 13,000 members.
The essays in this book examine the practical skills Lopp learned from exceptional leaders—as a manager at Netscape, a senior manager and director at Apple, and an executive at Slack. You’ll learn how to apply these lessons to your own experience.
Leadership, like any complex skill, can’t be hacked; it must be thoughtfully and patiently built. Leadership is built on a set of practices, but the judgment of choosing when to use or deploy a certain habit is the art of leadership. One of the primary reasons there are not noteworthy university degrees in leadership is because leadership is a set of skills you must learn from the job. At this point in our history as a species, we are unfortunately addicted to the idea of time-saving “hacks—simple,” clever ways to quickly achieve or know a thing. This is not that book. This is a book of repeatable practices that over time will combine to form sustainable, self-improving leadership. Pick a small thing, practice it for three months, and discover for yourself how it will make you a better leader.
