A Mysterious Complex System
EARLY-JULY. Happy America! Sorry, we’re a total disaster of a democracy, but we’re working on it.
This Week in Rands
We are approaching the endgame for the next book. The topic for this book is Senior Leadership. Hard to define, but differentiated in my head.
I keep finding unexpected lessons as I bang on the keyboard. This weekend? The expectation is that when you arrive on a new team, everyone is extremely helpful, but there are large systems and a complex culture to figure out... and there is no playbook.
PLUS, you are expected to discover ALL of it.
(p.s. Next up, Managing Humans 5th edition — gosh, I love the Pro Leisure Circuit)
