Moving from an orchestration-heavy to leadership-heavy management role.For managers who have spent a long time reporting to a specific leader or working in an organization with well‑understood goals, it’s easy to develop skill gaps without realizing it. Usually this happens because those skills were not particularly important in the environment you grew up in. You may become extremely confident in your existing skills, enter a new organization that requires a different mix of competencies, and promptly fall on your face. 2025-7-19 4:00am Irrational Exuberance 1,000 words Rated 2025-12-26 9:17am - sethherr

The Trump Halo Memes Aren't Supposed To Make SenseThere’s a theory that started on Bluesky a month ago from composer Patrick Cosmos that everyone in the US government is 12 now. Cosmos goes on to show how all the dumb shit we’re currently living through, and which boggles the minds of regular people, makes total sense if you imagine it was conjured up by the brain of a pre-teen. I had a little laugh at this theory but didn’t think about it too seriously until this weekend, when several government social media accounts got really into Halo.
