I guess I'd find this more compelling if it was at all something from the field or actual use cases instead of just a "marketing research" piece. Neither of the authors according to their linked-in have any experience managing outside their current startup; so, I'm a little curious why they chose to write this piece. That might actually be worth reading...

Hard to assess someone's actual management or overall experience for that matter, based solely on their linkedin profile. I have had 30 year execs that were not worth the air they breath and out of the gate interns with the skill and willingness to take on the challenge. Most of their points seem to be in line with my experience (20+ manufacturing) and I think I will likely try some of the add-ins they have listed.

Wasn't a big fan of the number of solutions in-progress, but I have seen F100 doing it before. Seems to be an interesting strategy to get folks to come back to the article at a later date, I wonder if it works.

These people obviously googled "management tools" and wrote up blog spam to drive traffic to their two-person agency website.

Their sparse linkedin profiles only add more proof of that.

If one sentence says "30 year execs that were not worth the air they breath" the next sentence sounds especially unconvincing when calling "my experience (20+ manufacturing)".
