A bad leader can be the end of a team, but a good leader can be the start of something bigger. But what exactly makes an impactful leader, and how should you go about it?

Should you walk out of that bad meeting, even if it’s rude?
This next leadership article asks a question that many of us frequently wonder: should you walk out of a bad meeting even if it’s rude? Bad, time-consuming meetings is a problem I’ve tackled many times in our blog as well. Founder Aytekin Tank talks about the problem and emphasizes that not all meetings are bad. However, you must decide how much meetings exactly are needed in your teams. Aytekin Tank shows how they’ve solved this problem in their company.
Why Paying Attention to Feedback is Necessary For Every Startup
Our next leadership article comes from Heidi Zak, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of ThirdLove, who talks about feedback and how important it is to have a good process for it. Especially in a startup. She shows that the best feedback comes from the people that work closest to you. The most important point, that hit close to home for me, is “If no one is taking the time to give feedback in a startup, that’s an indication they don’t care. They don’t care enough to help the people around them grow and get better, and they don’t care about bettering themselves.”
Building Marketing Leaders of the Future
The essential question of the article is, “what it means to be a leader in marketing?”. While the marketing skills are as important now as ever, modern leaders need to be much more focused on data, measurements and technology. The article calls all leaders to help us prepare the next generation of leaders, looks at what it means to be a marketing specialist and lays out a career framework for marketers.
