I sat down recently for a conversation on the Leaderful Podcast – this one's a 50-minute listen, and we covered a lot of ground, including:

- How to make power visible and negotiable

- Why paying attention to the words vs. action gap reduces risk for companies & individuals

- Leveraging internal operations/workflow and "long-lead listening" to increase trust, alignment, and speed

I also incorporate that same approach in my own business...

Being an early manager means being willing to build your operating system (OS) transparently and teaching the people who work with / for you to create their own OS, too.

None of this is particularly stunning, it's not ever going to be worth billions, it won't lead to splashy headlines...but it will create more collective change & power, rather than individual power. 3/3

I've seen firsthand how choices & practices add up to an individual perspective, team culture, or even company DNA that, once amplified, can add to the world in meaningful ways or, conversely, create significant damage.

Building teams that are ethical, inclusive, and that perform at a high level takes consistent practice, and that comes from transparently talking about and sharing power & decision-making early and often.

Every now and then, someone asks why I named my company "The Early Manager" ...so here's the quick origin story for that:

As a former marketer & journalist, whenever I see a person or company go viral for any reason (good or bad), I know there’s usually a backstory involved.

Basically, by the time you arrive at a big moment, the decision is already made because of past work and habits. 1/3
