A batch of the best highlights from what Josh's read, .
Many of our beliefs were learned before we had a choice in what we were taught.
The Creative Act
Rick Rubin
In your head, ideas expand until they max out “working memory” – and it’s only by externalising them in the written word that you have capacity to iterate them.
The Surprising Effectiveness of Writing and Rewriting
interconnected.org
A great framework for delegating work or encouraging a team member to identify and own new work:
Challenge people to operate at the next level and promise support for them taking on that challenge.
Example: someone says that they are identifying a problem that is a bit of a stretch for them to carve out or solve.
You can identify it as a challenge for them and offer it to them _as a challenge_ that they can accept.
And you should communicate that you will _support_ them taking on that challenge (and how you'll support them).
