How to lead through change with open leadership
Change is hard. It often brings discomfort, anxiety, and confusion. Even as an Agile enthusiast, I sometimes feel I'm not welcoming change the way I should.
Change is often hard because the predecessor of change is chaos. Being in chaos is a natural part of the change process and an integral part of evolution. If chaos is handled poorly, it may result in inefficiencies, stress, demotivation, loss of direction, and poor performance. However, it also presents an opportunity to rethink, reorganize, refresh, reboot, experiment, and invent.
Open leadership is critical here. The Open Organization defines open leadership as a mindset and set of behaviors that anyone can learn and practice. Open leaders think and act in service to another person, group, team, or enterprise attempting to accomplish something together.
Open leaders acknowledge change, lead it with a generative-lean-agile mindset, and welcome it with intuition, focus, and enthusiasm.

Musk partially delivers on his Twitter open-source promise Premium
At the heart of Twitter’s business model is the recommendation algorithm. It is a set of rules that enables the platform to deliver content based on users’ interests and preferences. It is with the help of this system that advertisers promote their brands. Content flows into a user’s timeline through two channels. One pipeline channels content posted by people that the user follows and the other is filled with posts flowing from accounts that could potentially interest the user.
The latter timeline, called ‘For You’, acts as a predictive tool to suggest feeds that a user may be interested in. It helps the micro-blogging site find answers to questions like — what is the probability a user will engage with another user in the future, what communities on Twitter might a user be interested in and what tweets are trending within them. Answers to such questions help the platform recommend relevant content.
