When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat. A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine. Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity. If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity. If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.

This is your Monday friendly reminder not to be the annoying coworker. Don't ask "why don't you" or "why not" questions. Don't be that person! Phrase all your comments as a concrete suggestion! You can be critical, if you are constructive!

Boarding to Bangkok. If my OOO message was honest it would say: "I am on mission and at a 7h time difference, your email is supposed to stay in wait on my inbox until next week. But due to lack of self-control and a habit of overwhelming myself, I probably will reply right away"
