Slow and steady... A few years ago, I was thrilled to help James Harding and Katie Vannek-Smith start @tortoise Media, and I remain an eager and grateful collaborator. The team's very, very hard work is paying off variety.com/2022/tv/global…
I’ve been debating all day whether or not to post this photo, but it’s just too good to keep under wraps. I expect a lot of captions, but none I haven’t thought of already. But go right ahead.
Such an important topic - the positive side of #power . I recommend this @MatthewBarzun book as well to further the conversation

A thought for aspiring young leaders. Before trying politics, consider the kitchen. The greats of hospitality like @dhmeyer and Ruthie Rogers are among the wisest teachers. I joined Ruthie's wonderful podcast wherein she revealed her secret ingredient podcasts.iheartradio.com/rivercafetable4
🪦RIP “Wikipedia is not credible source” It took a full year, but our James Mars Wikipedia page dropped yesterday. The entire process has caused us to gain an entirely new appreciation for this vast enterprise. As you can see on the second page, there are over fifty edits. 1/6
Fun memories. And all the result of an admirably persistent man with a very hot take.
Sometimes I enjoy an interview so much I forget we're recording a podcast. This talk with @MatthewBarzun was a great ep AND a total delight to make. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thi…
Typical pyramid structures compel typical pyramid thinking, where we ask “How do we win?” instead of “What can we build?” This week on the #podcast, @MatthewBarzun, author of The Power of Giving Away Power, talks about overcoming that mental model. 👉 apple.co/3ya23XW

So glad that @AWMuseum could host @ExecClubChicago and author @MatthewBarzun for a great program today.
🎙 New Podcast Episode with @MatthewBarzun, author of THE POWER OF GIVING AWAY POWER! 🎧 Listen now: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mat…
I don’t think I’m done processing my learning, yet. This book was so timely. @MatthewBarzun The Power of Giving Away Power: How the Best Leaders Learn to Let Go #leadership #daringgreatly goodreads.com/book/show/5547…
Photographed an event and heard @MatthewBarzun give a talk on his book. Just finished reading it and found this nugget of wisdom: 1. Change your mindset 2. Share your inner voice 3. Work through hard things together 4. Give up power (to make more) 5. Embrace uncertainty
#GTIPC | In this final session at the India Partner's Conference, Ambassador @MatthewBarzun & @VisheshCC talk about the power of giving away power and how the best leaders learn to let go. #GoBeyondStructure
.@MatthewBarzun also shares when you stop thinking of pyramid structure you'll understand why sprints and marathons are different. Sprints are for a short run while marathons are long hence it is advised to consider life a marathon, not a sprint. #GoBeyondStructure
Empty nesters, reimagine yourselves as emerging eagles. @HodaAndJenna @hodakotb @JennaBushHager
This year's central theme on #DeepBackground is power. This week, I talk to @MatthewBarzun—former US Ambassador to the UK—about his book “The Power of Giving Away Power” as well as his collectivist method of generating power, even on deeply divided issues. pushkin.fm/episode/giving…
It's hard work to bring differing views together. @DavidAFrench & @whignewtons bring businessman/diplomat @MatthewBarzun to explore an approach to creative leadership that Congress should pay attention to. Listen yourself to see if it makes sense to you: advisoryopinions.thedispatch.com
Now reading @MatthewBarzun’s Power of Giving Away Power. Great perspectives on shifting from a Pyramid mindset to a Constellation mindset to create opportunities for meaningful change.
@MatthewBarzun just listed to play.acast.com/s/intelligence… - so many great ideas Dee Hock, Mary Parker Follett - reading excerpt matthewbarzun.com/free-excerpt/ while awaiting book !
I am six chapters into @MatthewBarzun book, The Power of Giving Away Power, and it is already my new favorite book on leadership. Actually, more than that. It is applicable for any aspect of human life involving relationships. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/602163/t…
The world was greatly impacted by @simonsinek ‘Start with Why.’ Now a new book entitled, ‘The Power of Giving Away Power’ from @MatthewBarzun (and published by Sinek’s Optimism Press) is here to shift our mindsets again. Highly recommend! #startwithwhy #constellations #power
@MatthewBarzun Matthew, I enjoyed it so much that I went to my local bookstore, @interabangbooks, and ordered ten more copies to give to friends. I hope someday you and I will find two comfy chairs and discuss.
this was the best 40 minutes i've spent listening to a podcast in as long as i can remember. @MatthewBarzun talking with @mbs_works about the power of giving away power. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wha…
Hey, @peterlattfan, The Atlantic published a short story by one of your favorite writers, @csittenfeld. Maybe you'll now show some respect for your father! theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
'We are doing this because we cannot be free if you are not free. We must engage in mutual liberation - it is us all working together.’ Start Network was delighted to have @MatthewBarzun join the #CEOs of our members today to talk about ‘The Power of Giving Away Power’.
