The Sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) belongs to a group of sharks that, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History and other studies, closely resembles fossil forms from the Triassic period, roughly 200 million years ago.gettyThis story begins not in the open ocean, but in a dockyard. Decades ago, fossil hunters working along the busy port of Antwerp (a historic Belgian port city which you might know as the world’s diamond capital) uncovered something unusual buried in sediment millions of years old. Not a diamond, mind you, but what at first glance looked like just another whale skull. But hidden…

Kevin Morby arrived in Austin in mid-March to participate in a music showcase as part of South by Southwest, the city’s annual cacophony of industry obligations and branded “activations.” The Kansas City-based indie musician was due to perform a six-song solo set promoting his forthcoming album, Little Wide Open. Shortly after South by Southwest, Morby would embark on a months-long international tour in support of the record. He had every reason to make the Austin trip a quick one. But Morby lingered for one more day, heading about a half hour southeast of the city, past ranchland and new housing…

Recently, I spoke with a head of HR for a tech company who asked: “Are you hearing of other organizations eliminating the manager role? Our CEO thinks they won’t be needed in the future because of AI, because the future is self-managing teams.” Aside from the obvious point that CEOs saying this may be talking themselves out of a job, it’s not a rare question at all. There’s even a name for this—the “Great Flattening”—and it’s everywhere. Some 41% of employees say their companies trimmed management layers last year, according to Korn Ferry’s survey of 15,000 professionals worldwide. Middle managers…

Not long ago, I spoke with a newly appointed CEO who looked exhausted. She was an exceptional leader who had built strong teams and delivered results throughout her career. Yet only a few months into the role, she admitted something that surprised even her: She had begun to wonder whether she was the right person for the job. Nothing in her performance suggested she wasn’t the right person. Her team respected her. The board supported her. The company was performing well. What she was experiencing is far more common among first-time CEOs than most people realize. The role had changed…
