health – From the desk of Adam Thomas

This morning, I woke up pretty excited. Getting up, I realized that there is a new world ahead. With the acceleration of technology, and the ease of communication, I think we are headed towards an age of wonder.

Some quick thoughts about the “winners” and “losers” in this new age.

The winners – Those who bring a level of curiosity and rigor to the proceedings. They are experienced in both the old and new ways and use them as tools, not dogma. With the whole world available, everything is an opportunity.

The losers: Those who choose to not play, or decide to play small. Being defensive, or being willfully ignorant won’t work. Both the old and new ways are best.

Proceed with whimsy, please. We’ll need you.

You aren’t lazy unless you keep it to yourself

If you’ve done the “work required to have an opinion,” then you’ve done your job.

After that, it is your responsibility to say “I don’t know.”

If you don’t, you are harming your team. Get vulnerable. You have the opportunity to raise a question that helps the team.

Teams celebrate “I don’t know” if the leader has laid the foundation of a healthy culture.

That’s the type of growth that creates great teams.
