NMM: T-Claps all around. Lots of hard work this morning. I’ve been wanting to Q a workout like this for a while, focusing on slowing things down to make sure all of us are doing things correctly, not just sort of doing them.
YHC has been thinking a lot about shortcuts lately. I challenged the group in this morning’s COT — and I’ll take the opportunity to challenge all of us — to look for the ways we’ve gotten into the habit of choosing shortcuts instead of choosing the more difficult or more costly way to correctly do things. It might be when you post. It might be at work. It might be at home.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead today. And thanks for challenging me to get better at our AOs and throughout my life.
BH: Check out the #Leadership channel on Slack for the 12th Man effort we’re launching. Hit up T-Cell if you’re interested in being a HIM who helps out.
#PickneyPain next Friday. Crawlspace and Right Said have been ‘voluntold’ to take the Q. Sure to be a good one.
