I never take any leadership-adjacent blog post seriously since I found out that by far the most toxic manager I’ve ever worked with in my career has apparently risen to a CTO position at a respectable startup and has since published numerous blog posts and a book on management. His resume looks amazing though.

Is this CTO in the room with us right now?

1) bad people can give useful advice. generally life is richer when you can separate art from artist.

2) 1 person bad does not make all people bad

Terrible people can be good at things, so their advice may be useful, but it still doesn't mean taking leadership advice from a terrible leader is a good idea. Maybe if he was blogging about how to fail upwards. It's more about separating the con from artist.
