What to expect here?
Welcome to “Tobi’s Tidbits of Tyranny,” where I, Tobi, take you on a tour through the wonderfully complex-chaotic world of software engineering, leadership, organizational development, the evolution of work, and everything in between. I’m passionate about co-creating high-performing teams and organizations in a human-centric, purpose-driven way. I help leaders create the best possible work environments and successful businesses.
In this newsletter, I share insights, research-driven strategies, and thought-provoking ideas aimed at fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation. My goal is to help you unlock the full potential of your organization, enabling everyone to thrive in their roles and contribute meaningfully to the greater mission.
Expect to find explorations of effective leadership practices, the importance of psychological safety, and ways to cultivate a growth-oriented environment. I believe that when we prioritize people and their passions, we create win-win scenarios for employees, customers, and businesses alike.
Join me on this journey as we dive into the principles of new work, challenge conventional wisdom, and discover how to create organizations that people truly want to be a part of. Together, let’s transform our workplaces into spaces where everyone can flourish.
Why do I do what I do?
My goal is to help startups achieve true high performance in a way that fulfills people and makes customers, employees and the business happy.
I believe that people are intrinsically motivated and want to do their best possible work if we treat them like humans.
Most of what is known as leadership advice, management tips, and business 1x1 is based on the assumption that people must be managed, controlled, and supervised and that we need hierarchies to accomplish anything meaningful.
As we know today, this assumption is wrong. We do not need hierarchical companies with top-down control structures to achieve outstanding things at scale.
There is a better, more respectful, and more enjoyable way that puts humans at the center of what we do.
Through my writing, hands-on advisory, and training, I support organizations and individuals with the mindset shift necessary to make this a reality.
Because of my expertise in software engineering, leadership, and developer experience, I focus on engineering teams and software startups and how to improve their experience and productivity.
Higher employee experience inevitably leads to higher employee engagement and motivation, yielding higher product quality, customer success, and business success.
I write to think, explore, and help.
