high marks as a newsroom manager from Poynter's Jill Geisler. An excerpt:
Unlike some of us who think by speaking and form ideas as we hear ourselves deliver them, Lil thinks carefully and then offers her ideas. She seems to take great care to make certain that other voices are heard and is careful to never step on people's ideas. Make no mistake, she voiced strong opinions on ethics cases we were discussing, but with a gift for engaging thought, not shutting it down.
Bombastic bosses often think that their volume, sarcasm, or ability to terrify is what gets them results. There's plenty of literature out there that says they're wrong...
The Poynter piece also includes a video interview with Lil.
