There are two types of metrics: performance and outcomes. If you are not measuring outcomes, you don't have any good metrics.

Performance metrics are only good as a diagnostic tool for teams to improve their ability to produce better outcomes faster.

Measure what really matters!

End-of-year recaps are a form of feedback. So are annual reviews. However, we get feedback throughout the year.

There's only one thing harder than getting constructive feedback from someone we respect—getting it from someone we disrespect.

Feedback is a gift. Treat it as such wherever you get it.

Today, I begin a new post series for #startups, #entrepreneurs, and #teambuilders.

Most importantly, TRUST. Leaders often expect it from their subordinates, but how do they engender it?

Trust is a two-way street. You don't get it without showing it first.

I've identified as a liberal most of my life. Now, I'm about choosing to support ideas, not parties or labels.

Fundamentalists believe in thinking of others before yourself. We could use more of that.

Israel is different.

First, they are the only functional democracy in the Middle East.

Second, they are the only Jewish country in the world.

Third, they are the only country bordered by people whose stated mission is their total destruction.

Why believe anything their enemies say?

The American military should not be used against the American people—period. Trump’s takeover of D.C. puts every single one of us in harm's way. Add your name to the petition to protect our communities NOW! sign.moveon.org/petitions/dc...

This is the view out of my sitting room window. You can measure success a lot of ways. This is one of my ways.

Politicians are like blue cheese. Most of them stink even when they're appealing.

People with left-leaning beliefs are swarming to BlueSky from X. The algorithms already divide us. The last thing we need is separate platforms.

If you listen carefully, you'll find truth in the most unlikely places...but you need to look in those places first.

Buddhists have something called "the middle way." In a world where the invisible hands of power work hard every day to divide us, the center will bring us together.

Experience has taught me that truth exists on both sides of every position, argument, and belief. Keep an open mind and listen.

Is BlueSky going to become the Left's spool of nonsense in response to X becoming the Right's spool?

People trash-talk folks on here over the dumbest, inconsequential crap. Vance had sex with a couch, and RFK Jr. had a parasitic worm. So what? Grow up, for God's sake!

What do jazz groups and jam bands have in common? They both require the skill of listening and playing in a musical conversation.

Every musician who plays with others has to be able to listen a little, but when you're playing songs the same way every time, you only need to know where you are.
