#AproposNothing #MusicIsMedicine Vikki wanted to pull a cracker, so we did. Usual twaddle, but it had a "conversation starter" that asked "If you could invite anyone, who would you invite to Christmas dinner?" and we both said musicians--she said Brian May and I said Nick Drake*

Anecdotally, I find the tech community these days is pretty evenly split between progressive and conservative leadership. You can tell which you're dealing with after about 5 minutes in a meeting. Progressives talk a lot on governance, accountability, compliance, inclusive hiring, sustainability. They will want to focus on your initiatives in those areas. Conservatives tend to be more feelings-based. Meetings are about hockey and name dropping.

"Kind of car you drive, son?"
