So you've gone viral on LinkedIn. Woohoo! Be warned... The LinkedIn algorithm is about to take you on a ride straight into the Valley of Death. LinkedIn has a ~30 day refractory period after a high-performing post. Here's how it works:

Hiring the right people is only one ingredient to elite operations. Excellence is also about preventing the circumstances that leave room for mistakes. The procedures for putting down the CAUTION WET FLOOR signs that prevent the slip-and-falls of history. 

There are two types of power in this world: Power that sits behind two monitors, and power that has no monitor at all. 

Most of the Louvre’s collection is literally priceless. Meaning that their value as historical artifacts is unquantifiable. You can’t take out an insurance policy on something that’s invaluable. The cost would be prohibitive.

The same tendency that makes it difficult to structure Google Drive folders also leads to creativity. Neuro-atypical brains make connections between things that other people wouldn't see. 

Did you know that if your company has more than 50 employees (100 in CA, CO, NY, and VT), the employer sees all the prescriptions people take?  They don’t know who, but if there are fewer than 100 people it’s pretty easy to guess who needed a prescription to control their excessive underarm sweating. Or who's on Lithium.

Going into your DMs with someone who’s left the company feels like walking into the perfectly-preserved bedroom of someone who passed away before their time. Eerie, reverent, forbidden.

For me, my chair-jacket is an asset. It ensures I won’t freeze in that one conference room with the overactive air conditioning. It gives me the freedom to wear lighter clothing to the office without worrying that I’ll be stuck in an uncomfortable situation.

It may seem complicated at first, but if we can coordinate something as complicated and illogical as Daylight Savings happening across 6 US timezones, at a different time from the rest of the world, on random Sundays in November and April, I think we can handle this.
