I loved reading @rachelmcconnell.bsky.social's interview with the always-great @lapope.bsky.social for the upcoming Lead with Tempo conference. "When you gloss over the complexity, nuance, and detail, you miss so much… it shuts down so many opportunities to learn." medium.com/lead-with-te...

I have my first hangover in a very, very long time. Too much Burns Night whisky. Thought the veggie haggis would be more of a buffer than it was.
