Teams that can't learn from their own mistakes, that refuse to even admit something isn't right, are doomed to reproduce the mistakes, over and over, and each time at a greater scale, chances are. A cliché?
But you keep telling me not to talk about problems, to bring a solution. Now that's a cliché!
What if the only solution is to take a step back and think what we've just done? To think what we are doing—another cliché, but this one does age nicely.
Have you ever read William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies?'
Be sure to read it, or just read it one more time, anyway, and preferably before your next working week. Your Mondays at work, especially when in a corporate environment, are never gonna be the same again.
"There is nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency something that should not be done at all."
—Peter Drucker
Yeah, right. So, keep on scaling, guys. Pay no attention to the Yaatt.
From her bio on Wikipedia:
"She was diagnosed with aplastic anemia in 2014. She had spoken about the problems with health care funding and raised over $70,000 through GoFundMe in 2013 to fund her chemotherapy. Holzschlag was found dead at home in Tucson, Arizona, on September 5, 2023, at age 60."
From my retweets, on this day 9 years ago:
"Serious illness in a freelancer in USA might as well be a poverty and death sentence, prolonged by ongoing agony of system & patch failures."
—Molly Holzschlag, freelancer (1963–2023)
