The way each individual shows up to the workplace each day is the way an organization shows up in the world.
Recognize the impact of your actions and make an effort to live the values you want the culture of your organization to reflect.
This is outstanding communication.
Managing up 101: Make it insanely easy to give you feedback.
One of my direct reports sent this Slack DM and it's a masterclass in simple, direct communication.
No guessing where to find docs.
No follow-up questions on timing.
No confusion about priority levels.
She made it easy--and in less than 1 hour, I was able to provide feedback, give approval, and remove myself as the bottleneck for her projects.
Make it easy for people to give you what you want.

Excellent advice.
Managing up 101: Be explicit with what you need
🚫 “Hey, can you take a look?"
✅ “Hey, can you take a look? I’m looking for high-level directional feedback. No need for line edits yet.”
✅ “I'd love to get super specific feedback on this. Feel free to tear it apart because I know it can be better but can't tell how. Also these particular sections are a bit confusing."
✅ “I have updates on X. Let’s discuss by tomorrow EOD because Y.”
✅ "I've been frustrated by this customer. I would love to vent a bit and get it out of my system."
There are many ways your manager can support you. When you share what you need directly and respectfully, you’re more likely to get it.

#GoBlue won the #NationalChampionship on Monday night and @richeisen got emotional thinking back to when he first became a @umichfootball fan nearly 30 years ago:

Interesting perspectives to consider.

This is amazing news and life-changing for many seniors.
Thanks to the Biden/Harris administration, hearing aids are available over the counter starting this week! This could save patients as much as $3,000 per pair and allow more people with hearing loss to access hearing aids. reuters.com/business/healthc…
An amazing story and well worth the read. Thanks for sharing, Paul.
As the Nobel prize was awarded, in part, for my father’s experiment. I received questions on his work, and on the Prize itself.
I tried to condense complicated stuff, so I’m sorry to the physicists who will note oversimplifications.
