Sufficiently Decentralized Leadership
Success means a steady decrease in our power until we have none at all
Two chapters released to Early Access
I finished editing, uploading, and publishing the first two chapters (Vision and Mission, and Strategy) last night, and thiis morning I sent access instructions to a group of reviewers. Most of them were directors of product management at a company where I used to work, but I also have a friend who is a technical writer and another who is a marketer who will be looking over it. In a sense, I started working on this in February, but I wasn't able to put my foot on the gas until around Septembe...
Fieldway Update for New Subscribers
Since Paragraph now features people, and I'm apparently featured, I've started getting subscribers here. This came as quite a surprise given I haven't posted anything in months and had decided not to use Paragraph. I'm building an eLearning course and had explored using Hypersub, then subscribers could access the content on Paragraph via an NFT gate. But Paragraph doesn't support gating or paid memberships anymore, so it doesn't work for what I want to do. I also am building on a different pl...

My name is Matthew Stublefield, and I love you.
I know that seems strange. It's probably overly forward, too, since we just met, but I mean it.
I write about team leadership. A lot goes into leading teams well so they are productive and happy, and on this site, you'll find content covering systems, processes, philosophy, ethics, psychology, sociology, and theology.
In addition to posts and newsletters, I am also developing eLearning courses. I have spent over twenty years leading teams and coaching others to become better leaders, and I know I can help you. My courses focus on learning outcomes, and by subscribing, you'll have an opportunity to prioritize the content I create next.
My research and work have all been developed using Obsidian. If you want direct access to my research, notes, and to me so you can suggest what I research next, I invite you to join me on this journey.
Want to discuss what you're reading and seeing here? If you are a member of any of my hypersubs, you can cast in the Fieldway channel on Warpcast.

Fieldway Research membership grants you exclusive access to the Obsidian site, a digital vault housing all my research, notes, and drafts for crafting Fieldway newsletters and eLearning.
Access to all research and notes that I have gathered and composed
Access to the drafts of newsletters and eLearning as I'm writing them.
Subscription to the Priority:People weekly newsletter about leading teams well.
Subscription to all Fieldway Academy eLearning courses.
Access to Warpcast Group Chat with other Fieldway Research members.
The opportunity to suggest what I research, and then you can get my notes on the subject.
10% revenue share to reward you for your engagement, feedback, and suggestions.
I organize Obsidian using the PARA system:
Projects
Areas of Responsibility
Resources
Archive
In addition, I have folders for
Omnivore: anything I subscribe to or find interesting and save, which I then highlight and take notes on.
Kindle Highlights: the highlights and notes from books I read on Kindle.

Traditional eLearning is static and outdated. An instructor spends weeks or months creating a course, publishing it, and marketing it to students. Eventually, they typically move on to a new course and leave the old one to languish, or they create a new version, and students can pay for access.
Fieldway Academy stands out from traditional eLearning by publishing on-chain, offering you immediate access to modules as they're ready. The content is not left to languish, but regularly revisited and updated. I'm committed to providing focused courses with ongoing resources and support to enhance your team leadership skills.
FA courses are all on the theme of leadership, with the initial set including:
Leading Product Teams
Better Recruiting, Onboarding, and Firing Practices
Managing Over-Achievers and Under-Achievers
Subscribers can suggest new modules and courses, ask questions and get answers, and inform the development prioritization.
Subscription to all Fieldway Academy eLearning courses.
Subscription to the Priority:People weekly newsletter.
Access to Warpcast Group Chat with other Fieldway Academy members.

Priority:People is a weekly newsletter to help you lead teams well.

You can also sign up for free posts to get them emailed directly to you or dropped into your wallet.
