Good morning! I was recently hired into a leadership position and want to lead well. I’ve done so with informal authority but now that I have formal authority, I want to serve my team in the best way possible. I’m reading John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and would like to learn more. Are there any recommendations to learn leadership? Thank you in advance!

Everyone is different. I consider myself a "people manager." I will always look at anyone who reports to me as a human and not a number. I understand life happens, and sometimes, you have to call in. Mental health is also very important to me, and my golden rule I share with everyone is NO ONE SUFFERS IN SILENCE. I don't care what it is, personal, work related, financial, etc. If you need to talk or need resources, you just let me know. No questions asked. I will do anything I can to help or resources to help you. I also do not have a "work personality" (nothing wrong with if you do). I am the same person at home as I am at work. I share my personal experiences with anyone who reports to me so they understand I am human, too. I do not lie or sugarcoat the truth when it comes to changes in worflows or policies. We are adults, and I am not going to treat anyone like a child. I have had a lot of employees tell me that I create a culture where they feel seen, heard, and included. There is no such thing as mistakes, only opportunities.

I found the Harvard free course exercising leadership:Foundational Principles very valuable. The instructor was Ronald heifetz which I also recommend his two books the principals of adaptive leadership and leadership on the line

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
