Hey friends,

Just a friendly reminder, everyone is just one bad sandwich away from a rough weekend. Whoo-eee. 😈🥪

And here I thought avocados were my friend...

Thinking Too Hard

Julie Zhou wrote a piece on leadership that I found interesting.

We often focus on the role of the hero: the brave individual that sees the gap and tries to do something about it. Julie exposes a second group that plays an active part in the story, the TEAM.

When a hero burns out, the most obvious explanation is that the team was like such a tank — too risk-averse, too heavy, to difficult to move.

This is true.

But it is truer to say the team was too difficult for the hero to move at that time.

Sometimes we're the hero, but most often we're part of the team. How hard are we too move? Are we armored up after layers of disappointment? Are we actively working to make ourselves, and the people around us, more able to MOVE when the time comes?

Something to think about.

(I mean, there wouldn't have been an Episode V if Han Solo hadn't come back...)
