| | | | Lackluster leaders Happy Monday, Baltimore. I hope that you've got some great plans for Thanksgiving, wherever they take you, and that you're enjoying the warm weather. I don't pretend you share my media diet, but for a lot of reasons, the idea of leadership and where it falls short or does damage is on my mind. While we at Technical.ly think about leadership a lot as a matter of professional responsibility — see, for instance, DC-area executive Seema Alexander's guest entry for our Culture Builder series below — there are two inciting reasons for my latest curiosity: 1) I'm watching a bit of the World Cup after seeing a Netflix docuseries about the decades of top-level corruption, bribery and alleged retaliation that led to Qatar and other countries landing hosting bids; and 2) we've been following the unraveling of crypto exchange platform FTX and ex-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried's seeming attempts to do damage control. There are many other examples of prominent leaders doing questionable things in the news as of late, like Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes being sentenced to over 11 years in prison and Elon Musk allowing Donald Trump back onto Twitter. And those are just high-profile examples in tech. At Technical.ly, we highlight responsible leadership as often as we're able, and see examples of it throughout our markets. Today, I wish to ask you all: Who have you seen lead, especially in the public eye, in a responsible way that didn't involve building a false reputation for ethics or positivity? Please share your thoughts with us by sending a message to baltimore@technical.ly, or by replying to this email, and thanks. — Technical.ly editor Sameer Rao (sameer@technical.ly) | | | | | Top Stories | | By A blend of digital abilities and traditional soft skills can mean a foot in the door for underrepresented workers seeking to enter the tech industry.
