Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Radical Canter podcast. Today we have a bonus episode about

management dilemmas. To discuss a management dilemma with me is Dick Costello. Dick is the

managing partner and co-founder at 01 Advisors. He was the CEO at Twitter from 2009 to 2015.

Before that, he worked at Google, where I met him.

And before that, he was the CEO of FeedBerner.

Dick is also a comic, a stand-up comic.

So we're going to have a lot of fun talking today. Welcome, Dick.

Wow, that's a, I love that introduction. I'll take it.

One of the things that inspired me to write Radical Kander was working with you at Twitter, Dick.

And you said something to me that has always struck with me, which is it's fun to talk

with you about management. So I thought we would maybe give other people the opportunity to

join in our fun. And you get a bunch of questions from your portfolio companies about sort of

leadership dilemmas, and we get a bunch.

So I wanted to start with one about promotions.

And, and I think,

promotions for four hours probably, but go ahead.

Yeah, we could.

But we're going to just keep it to 20 minutes.

Great.

So what I thought we would do, I'm going to read this and we'll take it from the

point of view giving some advice to the person who did not get promoted.

And then maybe we'll give some unsolicited advice to this person's boss.
