💯. As a lead I learned its not my job to be the smartest person in the room anymore. Its about enabling others to be their best. This meant I'm working on the super messy least sexy but extremely important foundational work, while more junior folks shine/glide bc of my pre-work.

Meeting Free Tuesday is easily my favorite day. Today I'm focusing on a list of problems my team faced and solved, sitting with my son as he works on a poetry assignment and listening to my favorite Beatles albums.
