A lot of work advice sounds good in theory, but falls apart when you actually try to use it.

I'm on a mission to change that. I'm Molly Graham, a company builder and the new host of

WorkLife, a podcast from TED. I've spent my career inside fast-growing companies, and one thing I know

that no one ever posts on LinkedIn. Listen now on work life wherever you get your podcasts.

for some time.

To what end?

We've talked about how key objectives in Iran simply haven't been met.

Yes, many leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, were killed.
