Starting Late


Oftentimes in life we feel like we have to catch up to other people’s milestones; that there are arbitrary points in time we have to have accomplished something by, but that simply isn’t true. So what do you do when you hit the points of your life that make you feel like you’re being left behind?

Shashi Kesavan, Head of Strategic Projects at Leaderonomics, discusses the benefits of starting late and the importance of self-awareness at these crossroad moments.

40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s

In this leadership analysis, Roshan Thiran reviews Daniel Pink's viral video, "40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s," and reframes its core lessons as a practical guide for today's leaders. Moving beyond simple life advice, he identifies three primary themes essential for building effective and compassionate teams: - The People Principle: Why culture, based on the "No Jerks" rule and the "Love Wins" philosophy, is a leader's primary responsibility. - The Action Principle: How a bias for "doing," persistence, and consistency—a "Gospel of Doing"—ultimately beats strategy and planning. - The Humility Principle: Why the combination of humility and curiosity is the engine for all personal and professional growth. This article simplifies 40 powerful concepts into an actionable framework for anyone looking to build better teams and become a better leader.
