What’s your expiration date?

We aim to be indispensable but what if we became expendable instead?

Trying to stay needed leads to limiting beliefs and control.

I design myself out of the job to build capacity, not dependency.

Set your own expiration date—or someone else will.

When teams fail to decide, the default solution is another meeting.

But what if that’s the wrong fix?Better decisions require fewer meetings, not more.

Async decision-making rewards reflection, clarity and commitment

No, AI, I do NOT think nuclear war is a good thing

Google's AI is telling people that I am in favour of nuclear war. Because of course it is. This reveals yet another problem with AI that makes things harder for us all.

No, AI, I do NOT think nuclear war is a good thing
It has been prominently pointed out that Google's AI thinks a nuclear war could be GOOD for society. However, this actually my fault. But it highlights yet more flaws with AI, rather than me.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Stop chasing the idea of a perfect culture.

Absolute terms like “good culture” or “bad culture” oversimplify reality.

It promotes black-or-white thinking — but culture is more complex.

Most cultures have a mix of both good and bad things.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

What keeps us silent, even when speaking up could change everything?
It’s not just fear – it’s how we’ve been shaped.
🚫 We like to be liked
🚫 We fear team retaliation
🚫 We reward harmony over candor

If you’re not feeling uncomfortable giving feedback, it’s because you’re not being candid enough.

A company isn't a family.

Parents don't fire their kids for low performance or furlough them in hard times.

A better vision for a workplace is a community—a place where people bond around shared values, feel valued as human beings, and have a voice in decisions that affect them.

Wonderful day ahead for 🇫🇷. Notre Dame will reopen on time, 5 years after it was gutted by fire. I was lucky enough to have visited the inside this week. It is stunning, the blanched stonework of the vaults and pillars as they would have been in medieval times

What’s holding your team back might not be what you think.

It’s time to let go of grudges.

Forgiveness is not easy.

Over the years, I’ve seen teams struggle as small frictions pile up, eventually becoming heavy grudges.

Here’s how to let go of those grudges!
