DuoLingo for Management & Leadership Training

Run With It

Nuggets:

• It’s easier to pivot after starting than to get started, so just start.
• Management tip: to avoid over or under managing, work with your direct report to get started and then let them drive their own ship.
• Move fast and don’t look back: things that you think are important early on will seem trivial later so don’t sweat.
• Being a great curator of content can be just as valuable as creating content, especially in an increasingly noisy information space.

Action Steps:

1. Start with a very minimal module (1 week) of management training
2. Incorporate this into blog or newsletter as content for readers to apply
3. Consult a lawyer to check whether it’s ok to share curated ideas in a paid newsletter
4. Target middle-level companies of 50 employees or less to begin
