In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.
Mon, February 3: The coming trade-offs with smart glasses
I love where smart glasses are today and I’m excited for the future, but it’ll be a weird few years as they get features smoothed out across the various companies.
Tue, February 4: Thank you and…
If you appreciate a gift, consider saying, “thank you and . . .” Thank you and I dog-eared forty of the pages. Thank you and I told your boss what a wonderful thing you did.
Wed, February 5: Short emails are a good thing
If you use AI to make your email longer, and then I use AI to summarize it, what are we really accomplishing?
Thu, February 6: Compassionate Emptiness
The two words seized me and would not let go. Compassionate emptiness. To me that meant a state of nonjudgmental receiving. I thought: “I will try to be in that state when people come to me to recount their burdens.”
Fri, February 7: Fear versus regret
Live life in such a way that you work to avoid regret, but don’t ignore any regret in your past as it can teach you some amazing lessons to improve things going forward.
Sat, February 8: Leadership is serving those in your charge, not being in charge
Most leaders think everybody works for them. No, you work for the people in your organization. It is your responsibility to take care of them, make them feel safe, and they will naturally want to cooperate and work hard and give you their blood and sweat and tears to advance your vision.
I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
