The Full Stack Leader

⭐️ Introducing The Full Stack Leader

, ,

Introducing a new blog title and URL: The Full Stack Leader, replacing “The Sensible Leader.”

Still hosted on WordPress.com and now using a block theme to take full advantage of newer Site Editor capabilities.

Yes, this screenshot is “meta” since it shows today’s site design — sharing for archive reasons. New theme is Bibliophile by Automattic, I believe designed by Beatriz Fialho.

We call it doing things.

Full-stack leaders are generalists, driving results end-to-end from idea to finished product.

Player-coaches who are motivated to navigate levels effectively using both craft and people skills.

They can see the full picture at broad range yet work with tight focus. Always learning, full-stack leaders read widely and use coaching to improve.

Focused on results and not on activities, titles, or “time at the computer.” They push when needed, leading with a true sense of urgency.

Are you a full-stack leader?

Read more about my full-stack leadership philosophy, including the top ten components of the “stack” from my view.

    Thanks for Anne M for the correction: newer WordPress capability for “Full Site Editing” (FSE) is more accurately called using the “Site Editor” with a “Block Theme.”

    Deploying full-stack team members means you can avoid the issue of “managing to specialties” where you are either bottlenecked by one person, or you “just find work” for specialists that isn’t relevant, urgent, or important to customer and business value.

    Shopify’s ~Mastery article calls out the difference between activities and results.

    One of the insidious consequences of this is that it leads to the company increasingly celebrating activities rather than crafter driven outcomes. With the right numbers we’ll fully focus on outcomes and impact.
