11 Rules for Leaders—advice from a classic

Issue 66: Career updates from Jay and Dom, and eleven leadership rules from 1950 that hold up pretty well in 2023

The past few weeks have been eventful for both of us! Jay was promoted to Full Professor of Psychology at New York University and Dom started a new position as Associate Vice Provost for Research in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Lehigh University. We are both excited for what the future holds and are deeply grateful for the communities that have supported our careers and contributed so much to our success.

A big part of this transition for both of us involves greater responsibility in leadership positions. As we move into these new roles, we find ourselves giving more thought to what it means to be an effective leader. There is no shortage of cutting-edge research out there on leadership, not to mention good (and often not-so-good) advice from management gurus. Today we wanted to share some of the best advice we’ve seen.
