Stop believing your own dashboards ✋🏾 Especially if they are made for YOU... To truly see the problem, you must physically break your cognitive filters and go talk to the people on the ground. It is not a coincidence that dysfunctional organizations have "leadership dashboards"

History doesn’t remember reputations, it remembers timestamps. If your ideas are big, don’t wait too long. Get them out there.

When young, trust widely to expand your surface area for serendipity. Make mistakes, and learn fast. When old/accomplished, shift to a more discerning approach—let others earn your trust. Be selective and operate within pre-vetted, high-integrity networks/people.

Say organization and we see #leadership. That’s why those charts are so ubiquitous. They show us who sits on top of whom, but not who talks with whom, when, and about what. Why are we so fixated on formal authority? #communityship https://t.co/nw9RNt2meY

The adventure isn’t out there, it’s within you. You have the most complex phenomenon the universe has ever assembled sitting between your ears. People who keep seeking the external remain hollow. Build your world within, then share it, and change the world out there.
