#bravenewbook help: What aspects of work are most unclear within your team?. I'll start: I was on a team in which I never knew when to show a draft to my boss before shipping it and when to just ship it. None of my peers knew either and we mostly guessed wrong.

Researching onboarding this morning for #bravenewbook - the correlation to retention and productivity is 🤯. For those hunting for efficiency rn, it'd be worth retro'ing onboarding with those hired in the last year and running some experiments from there.

Layoffs are never easy—and never *not* stressful and scary. And it seems clear that the traditional process for handling them is. pretty far from good. So this week on the #podcast, @aarondignan and @rodneyevans919 reflect on a more human-centric approach to #layoffs 👇

Used Find My Friends to track my husband's proximity to a donut shop. Called just before he passed it to request apple cider donuts. Highest, best, use of technology, IMO.

This morning's accidental alliteration:. Most messiness at work is caused by misunderstanding, not malice.
