Nobody talks about the hardest part of change.
It’s not disruption — it’s the moment after.
When no one’s coming to fix it for you.
That’s adoption.

Not about approval — about ownership.

My 75-year-old mom is learning AI to launch her podcast.
And she’s teaching me more about leadership than any tech article ever has.

It’s not about understanding every tool, it’s about having the courage to try.
Curiosity > Control.
Always.

Disruption doesn’t feel like growth; it feels like loss.
But it’s not a breakdown.
It’s the turning point of change.

Disruption doesn’t feel like growth. It feels like loss.
But it’s the only thing that clears space for what’s next.

That’s the part leaders skip — and it’s where trust breaks.

Curiosity isn’t a soft skill — it’s a survival skill.

When leaders stop being curious, they stop leading.
They start managing the past instead of creating the future.

“What if failure wasn’t an option?”

It’s not about pressure, it’s about ownership.
When leaders remove the option to fail, excuses disappear and solutions appear.

Safe isn’t safe if it keeps you stuck.

Leaders don’t fail from risk. They fail from the status quo trap, confusing comfort with stability until leadership potential is destroyed.

“Fine” isn’t progress. It’s the quiet red flag of disengagement.

Comfort feels safe. But it’s the illusion that destroys leadership potential.

Kodak. Blockbuster. BlackBerry.
They didn’t fail from disruption.
They failed from clinging to the status quo.

Social media mirrors the world: in or out, included or excluded. Some know the rules, others are just trying to keep up. The unfairness isn't just life - it's architecture.

People designed these algorithms.

Does knowing it's by design change anything for you?

The Middle Manager Crisis: Why Your Strategy Keeps Breaking at the Execution Layer

A Leadership Rewired reflection

medium.com

Allison Allen @allisonrewired.bsky.social · Sep 25

Stop blaming middle managers for poor execution.
Start fixing the impossible equation we hand them:

👉🏽 Max accountability + Min clarity = Failure.

Leaders with the most successful teams hand down responsibility and clarity.

👉🏽 What clarity do they need right now?
👉🏽 What decisions are you holding?

Change makers don’t just think it. They feel it.

💥 That’s not training. It’s instinct.
💥 Silence doesn’t fix broken systems.
💥 Silence only protects the status quo.

Stop chasing the next role.
Crush the role you’re in.

💥 Your team feels it when you drift.
💥 Your reputation fades fast.
💥 The next role isn’t promised — the current one is.

Leaders lose good people not because they don’t care, but because they refuse to let go.

In this week’s REWIRED, I’m unpacking:
✔️ Why poor delegation is driving your best talent away
✔️ How feedback becomes control when trust is low
✔️ A delegation reset you can use this week

Most leaders ask: “What’s my next role?”
The better question: “What would my future self do?”

💥 Identity drives action.
💥 Old conditioning keeps us stuck.
💥 Bold moves build the future.

Stop calling promotions rewards. Stop calling chaos leadership. Stop calling heroics culture.

Your culture is the sum of what you reward. Reward the wrong things → you erode it. Reward the right things → you build it.

As we head into September, ask: What signals are you sending?

Allison Allen @allisonrewired.bsky.social · Aug 28

Leadership isn’t about titles.
It’s about who you serve.

Too many leaders chase status.
Too many orgs chip away at creativity + empathy.
And the future is paying the price.

Promotion isn’t a prize. It’s a culture signal.

Promotions without systems don’t build leaders.
They build resentment, burnout, and broken trust.

Grinding harder doesn’t make you a better leader.
It just makes you tired.

Leadership isn’t endurance.
It’s clarity, safety, and trust when pressure’s on.

“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” In leadership, that’s a lie.
Pain doesn’t make you stronger.
Reflection and unlearning do.
Otherwise, you get better at tolerating dysfunction.

77% of orgs admit they don’t have leadership depth.
That’s not a Gen Z problem — that’s a system failure.

Promoting without support isn’t leadership development.
It’s setting people up to burn out.
