Leading an organization has qualities not unlike raising kids: long feedback loops, the power of example (and the comparatively low importance of demanding), and the mirror-like reflection of your deficiencies. And that is no coincidence: you are guiding people. You want them to do the right thing but also you want them to do it on their own terms. This requires balancing freedom and structure. It requires leadership and management. Both hemispheres of the brain. Hence the name of this blog.

The contents of this blog are rooted in my own work experiences as a CEO and as an advisor to founders and CEOs - I only write about things that had or have practical relevance to me and that I know can be applied.
