Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
Intimacy is a requirement for opening up vulnerability amongst a group of people. It's very rare people will be truly open in a large group, or in a space that they aren't confident is private. To facilitate vulnerable interaction, you must have a small, private space.
The Business of Belonging
David Spinks
There is real and immediate danger out there and we need to be aware of it, we need to make our loved ones and friends and neighbours aware of it.
Dead or Alive - The Choice Is Yours
Geoff Thompson
Too much of any kind of dependency not only slows down the pace of innovation but also creates a dispiriting second-order effect: disempowered teams. When a team is tasked with solving a particular problem and is judged by their solution, they should expect to have the tools and authority to complete the job. Their success should be a source of team pride. But Amazon’s tightly coupled software architecture and org structure too often made owners heavily dependent on outside teams, over whom they had little influence. Few teams were fully in control of their own destiny, and many were frustrated by the slow pace of delivery that was beyond their control. Disempowered workers increasingly became discouraged, unable to pursue innovative ideas in the face of so much structural resistance.
