In the tech world, orgs as entities worship speed and simplicity, but simplification of humanity down to surface-level archetypes leads directly to assumptions, bias, and harm. We have to start taking the time to understand people and let that inform our strategy.

Right now most orgs' KPIs are based on the org's goals, not the goals of the person who is trying to get something done. It's high time that we shift our KPIs to make the goals of the person a higher priority than org goals like "engagement."

Bad leaders see power as an opportunity. Good leaders see it as a responsibility. Framing power as a responsibility can discourage leaders from being selfish, making risky decisions, and ignoring advice. It's time to teach people that power is for service, not self-interest.
