Things I’ve learned about managing humans:. 1. Treat people like adults and they’ll act like adults. 2. Micromanagement has a productivity ceiling because everyone is productive differently. 3. Always back your staff up. Always. Thank you for coming to my #TedTalk.

Things I’m a sucker for:. - Tight 4 part harmonies (vocal).- Girl Scout cookies (18 boxes).- Clever dog names.- Brief but concise background on council memos (nerdy, I know).- Random acts of unnoticed kindness (I make sure I quietly acknowledge the person when possible). K. Bye.

In case y’all are interested, the best weight loss program ever is local elections! Between marching for miles, completely forgetting to eat, and the constant, crippling stress, I’ve lost nearly 10 pounds in 3 months! Not ideal for mental health though. Prepare accordingly.

To all my fellow #government peeps who are underpaid, comically overworked, often ridiculed, and constantly scrutinized. Sure, we knew what we signed up for but it doesn’t make it any easier. Keep your heads up, y’all. You have fan, supporter and cheerleader in me.

Be wary of those unable or unwilling to evolve their view of the world. Being open to categorical, foundational change requires strength and will. Holding fast to a flawed conception of reality leads only to suffering and destruction. This, this is why I can’t sleep at night.

Just a reset for any of my friends in politics. Someone you can’t trust will criticize you behind your back and compliment you to your face. Someone you CAN trust is someone willing to criticize you to your face and compliment you when you’re not around.

Anyone else think elections are now just like the holidays? They just bleed together into one continuous season. Both motivated by money, both fueled by disingenuous messaging, both aimed at perpetuating broken systems… sounds about right. #politics #elections #holidays.
