Five for Friday – March 14, 2025

The world is weird. Here are some weird – and not weird things I saw this week.

• I dug this article on Simple tips for managing any project – it’s full of practical tips (many of which have worked for me).
• What to do when your manager asks “how can I help?” I really liked this article on Crawling out of the Incident pit of despair
• I absolutely love articles like this one on Hidden Messages in Emojis and Hacking the US Treasury
• “But here’s the truth: real psychological safety isn’t about avoiding conflict. It’s about creating an environment where challenging ideas makes the team stronger, not weaker.”
  This article on Why Your ‘Harmonious’ Team Is Actually Failing is spot on.
• Tay-Tay is on HBR – The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift

That’s it – see you in a week.
