Making your work visible is the best way to both cover your ass and get ahead.
Simon and Michael both agreed that it isn’t a leader’s job to grant agency but to create space for it. It’s up to us to exercise our own decision making.

Your ability to make progress is directly tied to your relationship with avoidance.

A good leader invites the group to be part of the process.

A good contributor engages with the group.

Good fences make good neighbors and good communication makes good contributors. Make your work visible. And be sure you have something to communicate. We don’t move forward until we’re willing to fail and then learn. It’s you vs. you. Do what you’ve been avoiding.

onward.
