Managing Traffic Hacks

Traffic Management is a very complicated endeavour that we hand over to automated systems to route signals to – very much akin to light posts at a traffic stop. But in the event of a power outage, if you watch people try to manage it themselves you’ll see it gets along “okay” until one person gets frustrated and decides they need to go a bit faster than what you are currently doing to manage the system.  As they do this, other parts of the system (people) view this and start to do the same,  creating points of contention and deadlock

Leaders Make the Call

You are going to make good decisions, and you are going to make bad ones. You will not always get it right, no one has a hundred percent success rate. But you need to make a decision.

Our Inner Narrative

There is an inner monologue that plays on a loop within us on a daily basis. It is our narrative, the story we have written, but never put to keyboard or paper. Our narrative forms our worldview and when they are challenged, we push back. Why? Because that narrative has guided our life, our career, and our well-being for as long as we can remember.  We have had back and forth conversations with our narrative where our success rate is 100%. Our narrative is designed to handle small, incremental change because that’s how it works, big change doesn’t go over
