Responsible Leadership: Lead Like a Tank
summary
Ten concrete leadership moves: forge your own armor (gratitude, Stoic control, self-awareness), hone weapons (master craft, mentorship), and follow a ten-part checklist that includes pre-mortem risk sessions, 30-60-90 plan onboarding, clear comms channels (Slack vs email), contingency plans and measurable KPIs. Hire for eagerness and self-starting, use stop/start/keep retros, shield the team by taking responsibility, and treat failures as us vs the problem. Example: a launch bumped by 11 other titles turns viral into net coverage. A Deloitte stat cited: diversity → 83% more innovation.
