The 5 Most Read Playbooks from 2023
A look back at the most popular articles from my first year of publishing
I write a continuing series on leadership, management, and the future of work. Each piece addresses the real questions facing first-time managers, seasoned leaders, and executives alike. Drawing on my experience as a tech leader - and the insights of my network - I share answers that are practical, actionable, and easy to put into practice.
I started publishing relatively late in the year - my first playbook went live on October 31st - so this re-cap is a somewhat brief affair!
While I only published six playbooks in total, I’ve shared which ones were the most popular. The series I dedicated to hiring took up most of my writing time, but interestingly the most popular posts were the two articles that were not about hiring!

What’s to come in 2024
I’d like to continue to focus on the unique challenges facing people leaders and the future of work, but I plan to share more insights from other companies as a way to do this. The success of the article about Amazon helped highlight that real-life examples from other well-known companies are a great way to tell a compelling story.
I’d also like to continue to encourage feedback from this community on what’s most on their mind and where I can help. I’ve had a number of you reach out and suggest topics (some of which I’ve already featured) so I want to make this even easier now (see below). I can’t promise to get to everyone, but I will read and reply to every note I get!
I’ve already got the first article for 2024 ready to go live, which will be about how to motivate your team and build lasting influence.
One-on-One Coaching
Alongside writing, I coach a small number of leaders each year. Availability is limited, but if I don’t have room - or if I’m not the right fit - I’ll gladly recommend trusted coaches and point you in the right direction.
