1/ "Leadership is a repeatable skill, not an art." Over 25 years ago, I attended a leadership session at Netscape, run by Jim Barksdale. It was a single hour that profoundly impacted my career.

Service on the Yamanoted Line’s inner loop is suspended all weekend as tracks are being moved so the line can operate on a single platform rather than 2. Wild that this is a manual job.

Advice I got early in my career: Don’t over engage in any controversy unless you are willing to stake your entire reputation on it. Rather, keep focused on discovering new things & creating, or else you become known for the controversy & nothing else; there is no going back.

The best advice I've ever received came from Jim Rohn: Work harder on yourself than you do on your job. Work hard on your job & you'll make a living. Work hard on yourself & you can make a fortune. Translation: What you are becoming is more important than what you are doing.

Dear managers, You say "I'm bad at email." Your team hears "I'm bad a communicating", then eventually "I don't respect you enough to respond to you."

Writing essays isn't just a way to communicate about your ideas. It's mostly a way to *develop* your ideas -- a tool for thought. It's an opportunity to sit down, connect the dots, and turn your vague hunches into actionable mental models.
