I guess I'd find this more compelling if it was at all something from the field or actual use cases instead of just a "marketing research" piece. Neither of the authors according to their linked-in have any experience managing outside their current startup; so, I'm a little curious why they chose to write this piece. That might actually be worth reading...
Hard to assess someone's actual management or overall experience for that matter, based solely on their linkedin profile. I have had 30 year execs that were not worth the air they breath and out of the gate interns with the skill and willingness to take on the challenge. Most of their points seem to be in line with my experience (20+ manufacturing) and I think I will likely try some of the add-ins they have listed.
Wasn't a big fan of the number of solutions in-progress, but I have seen F100 doing it before. Seems to be an interesting strategy to get folks to come back to the article at a later date, I wonder if it works.
If one sentence says "30 year execs that were not worth the air they breath" the next sentence sounds especially unconvincing when calling "my experience (20+ manufacturing)".
This article blew up! I appreciate the feedback provided by those in the audience and the excitement that everyone brought to the material at hand.
To cover some of the points; the team behind the article had the pleasure of working alongside management and executives from large enterprises and governmental bodies to SMBs. The website serves as a medium to share some of the knowledge that our team has gained throughout our careers (supported by research from what some consider to be leaders in their respective markets) with the aim of helping individuals and organizations bring their very best to wherever place they work at.
I can appreciate the skepticism of some netizens, but I think it is worth noting that many of the tools, solutions and perspectives that are provided and advised in the website are either free to use or considered cream-of-the-crop in the market today. Some of the tools in one of the segments for today’s article are in-development because they are often provided free to use and involve personal development time outside the organization’s average daily schedule.

Fascinating to see so many salty comments, let me share my feedback. I like the concept of having a snapshot of the content at the beginning of the article. Found myself clicking on quite a few of the links out of curiosity, including a well-written piece by Harvard Law on the Wells Fargo scandal.
I would have preferred that at least half of the tools were already available on the article (@Azura), although they have some tools in the solutions page that were not listed in the article.
For any management related topics, I am always reminded of the usual and timeless (@JSeymour): How to Win Friends and Influence People, 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, Thinking in Systems: A Primer, The Effective Executive and Failing Forward.
Always interesting to re-read (Thanks PG!).
Chapter V: The Second Half of Your Life -- seems rather timely at the moment.
