Favorite Articles from 2010-2019

For my last official post of the decade, I figured I would follow my previous template and compile a list of favorite articles and blog posts from the past year, but decided to expand the list to cover this past decade. Of course, digging through 10 years of content turned out to be no small task. I’ve been fairly consistent with pulling together monthly content wrap-ups, which made it easier to pick through the last few years, but I also did some digging through social archives (advanced search in Twitter) looking for a few things in particular. I also found a number of broken links from former companies (not all Axceler and Metalogix content seems to have survived the move to Quest) and community portals. As a result, this list is not a “comprehensive” collection of my favorites, but of the couple hundred or so that I reviewed, these were some of the standouts.

The topics range from product-centric (SharePoint, Yammer, OneDrive, etc) to management and leadership development, and are not in any particular order. I hope you enjoy the list!
