How I Got Started
Throughout my life I’ve had the opportunity to be in leadership positions, but not always because I wanted to. As a result, I’d never really felt confident or knew what I was doing, which naturally led me to focus on listening, learning and taking advice. What I’ve found through these experiences is that:
Our typical view of leadership is faulty, that as a leader, I rarely ever knew what was best
I made the best decisions by taking into account everyone’s knowledge and perspectives
Despite being the recognized as the ‘’leader’’, the best mentality to adopt was that I’m not the boss
Over the years I’ve read countless books and done research on psychology, management, leadership, biographies, startups, companies … to understand the good, bad (and ugly) behaviors people use when dealing with others.
The purpose of this website is to share what I’ve found, so that you can use these ideas in a practical way in your daily life.
How My Writing Can Help You
This website isn’t just about leadership in the traditional sense. It’s more about self-development and working with people around you. My view is that if you’re alive, you’re a leader. You lead yourself every day with your actions, thoughts and decisions. And if you interact with others, you’re leading them in subtle ways, by influencing their actions, thoughts and decisions.
I’ll cover topics such as…
How you can better interact with people around you
How you can use good behaviors and avoid bad ones
How to communicate your ideas and have people listen
How to create an environment where people do their best
I truly believe we all have the capacity to be better people, to interact with each other in constructive ways, and to grow as a result.
My hope is that by reading what I write, you can apply some of these ideas into your daily life, and improve yourself and the people around you.
‘’I’m Not The Boss’’ Philosophy
My philosophy is that by accepting that we don’t know what’s best, we can achieve better results.
Therefore, I am not by any means an expert on this topic. I do not know what’s best. My ideas will have faults and will need improving. I count on you, the reader, to reach out to me with ideas and suggestions so both you and I can benefit as a result (you can reach me via Reddit, Bluesky, E-Mail or by leaving a comment on my articles).
With all that being said, I want to reiterate:
I’m Not The Boss
