Lessons in leadership at a time of economic and political peril…

If you knew nothing about Medium prior to September/October 2022, you would think that Tony Stubblebine is the worst CEO in the history of Silicon valley.

That our man was nothing but a sexist dinosaur tech bro, who’s intent on destroying anyone who isn’t a white male writer, operating in this hallowed space by ensuring that they had little coverage and algorithmic support.

I write this because there were a number of writers here who were stridently critical of Stubblebine right from the moment he took over the reins of leadership.

And it was Jessica Wildfire who got the ball rolling when she wrote an egregious article attacking the new head honcho for not paying attention to her brilliance; seeing how viral her post became, a number of writers followed suit and replicated her pointless diatribe.

And I would be the greatest hypocrite of all time if I said that I wasn’t among those critical of the man at the helm of affairs.

While I am aware and appreciative that not everything has gone swimmingly since Ev Williams stepped back from the day to day running of Medium, the last few days and weeks have been quite a revelation for all of us.
