7 minutes read.<p>Gilad Peleg shares a helpful framing you should use when leading a team as a manager or as a technical lead. How do you see your reach and influence today? Are you gaining context to increase your organizational impact? When you say "Us" who do you have in mind? Do you think that others will agree with you about it? I agree with Gilad that the "Us (Team) Vs. Them" leader can feel productive and successful but: "leaders at this level can be very harmful to the organization because they solve for the local (team) maximum, and it's very rare that this correlates with the global (organization) maximum. In fact, I've personally experienced leaders at this level creating all sorts of havoc and chaos in the organization, while taking their team to the top."
