Re-introduction: Jenn Steele

Leave a Comment Posted by Jenn Steele on May 24, 2010

Once upon a time, I was a Leader of Geeks. I was the head of IT at two different Boston-based law firms, and was absolutely passionate about leadership. Then I started getting more involved with social media & blogging via the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA), and fell in love with the internet. So around [...]

Welcome to the New Leading Geeks

Leave a Comment Posted by Jenn Steele on May 20, 2010

After a much longer hiatus than I initially anticipated, we’re re-launching Leading Geeks! Why? I (Jenn) got lame. I changed careers, and it turns out that also changed my day-to-day thoughts enough that I didn’t have my nifty general ideas to spew out on my blog. Who? Stay tuned! Folks will be introduced over the [...]

Update…

This blog will be undergoing some changes. I’m adding some awesome co-authors, and I’ll be changing the domain name so that it’s not all about me . If you’re dying for my writing, here are some of my recent HubSpot blog posts: A Marketer’s Guide to Facebook Phishing Scams What does an Inbound Marketing Transformation [...]

What I do with my day these days

Or at least what I write. I’m published on the HubSpot Blog! 5 Tips for Improving the Synergy between Marketing and IT. And NO I did NOT write the title. The word “synergy” gives me the shudders (as you know if you read this blog much at all).

I love my nieces and truly enjoy spending the holidays with them, but this year, I returned home with a very bad cold. And, as I usually do, I forced myself to go to work with it (although I did work from home for a few days, since there was no way to get that [...]

On Freedom

2 Comments Posted by Jenn Steele on October 12, 2009

I’ve decided to keep this blog focused on leadership (and perhaps grammar), and I’ve started a different blog on inbound marketing. Why? Because I’m finally free to post my actual thoughts. I couldn’t always post my ongoing leadership thoughts because I had to be very careful that none of my geeks or anyone else in [...]

On Boredom

11 Comments Posted by Jenn Steele on September 25, 2009

I truly hate being bored. I don’t mean “I have nothing to do” bored, I mean “I’m doing something that requires less than 1% of my thoughts but doesn’t leave me free to think/do something else” bored. I don’t think I’m alone in this sentiment. I’ve noticed that most geeks also hate that latter form [...]

On Wars and Battles

2 Comments Posted by Jenn Steele on September 11, 2009

Over the past few weeks, I’ve found myself using the phrase, “Right war, wrong battle.” As a principled leader, I’ve fought wrong battles many times without realizing that fighting those battles may have cost me the wars I was trying to win. As a geek, I’ve found myself doing the same thing. I’ve been so [...]
