LinkedIn is spiralling out of control. At this point, all we can do is heroin.

I used to do heroin.

Here are ten things it taught me about senior leadership:

- Get to the point quickly.
- Don’t poke around unnecessarily.
- You won’t get high ROI off your own supplies.

Ha this is a perfect encapsulation of LinkedIn. It’s an unintentional systemic experiment to see how we act to “emperor’s new clothes.”

Bad thought leadership and half baked takes? Reply with a clap emoji.

Win an account with a terrible reputation that cut fee from their last agency by 30%? “Tremendous honor.”

You aren’t impressing anyone or keeping your agency top of mind to reporters. Comms has to pitch no matter what.

LinkedIn is such a miss for the industry. This isn’t me being negative. It’s objectively not moving the needle beyond talent recruitment.

I feel like an outsider looking in on the new social-era of LinkedIn post-2020. I haven’t had to lean into thought-leadership yet, and only send congrats to colleagues over DM.

Sharing personal moments and stories like this feels so odd lol.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
