Made the switch to Bluesky. Experimenting, trying new things, and pivoting when something isn't working are all necessary for meaningful progress. As far as experiments go, I'm optimistic about this one!

ICYMI: In Starling Insights' latest video, @HarvardHBS Professor @AmyCEdmondson and author Jamie Fiore Higgins explore the concept of the “Normalization of Deviance," defined as the process by which bad outcomes can arise when small deviations from formal standards become the norm over time, and its implications for managing complex organizations.
Key topics covered in the video include how performance standards impact employee conduct, what leaders can do to identify whether a "Normalization of Deviance" is taking root, and why Psychological Safety is essential for enabling employees to speak up when problems occur. The discussion is moderated by Gillian Tett of the @FT.

If you are pursuing true growth and innovation, you must design a system that brings curious risk-takers together. When it comes to teamwork, the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Quote from p246 in my book #RightKindOfWrong 📕 bit.ly/RKWBook
As I process my own thoughts regarding current events, the great Barbara Kingsolver has, unsurprisingly, distilled the essence of this challenging situation into a powerful reminder.
Be kind to one another, shine a light on truth, and keep love alive.

And high-quality work materially depends up on high quality relationships...
"High quality relationships, at their core, have authenticity, vulnerability, a willingness to take risks. It's the only way to connect and face forward together." - @AmyCEdmondson
