![]() ![]() I like the idea of labeling this as creating psychological safety, since really, that’s what it is, and that term can encompass other things than just quelling the risk and pain of failures and mistakes. A poor culture will be intolerant to mistakes. Normally, I think about innovation and the flexibility to learn, make small mistakes, and come out better for it. The latter is a very interesting way to word this. And I like that the article doesn’t devolve into over-tried things that don’t apply to everyone like, “Good leaders reward their employees with recognition or gifts.” I do also like the way several items can spark more thoughts on what’s written between the lines, specifically the items to practice transparency and create psychological safety. I think these five items are all key items for a good manager, at least for me. However, an article I saw on my LinkedIn feed caught my eye and read really nicely: How Can You Tell Someone Has True Leadership Skills? Look for These 5 Uncommon Signs. I love me lists, but I usually don’t delve too far outside of technical articles when I post things on here. ![]() This sort of fills in my allotted personal learning time for the moment with something not terribly hard and with very little overhead pressure for the summer months.Īnyway, those have been my major timespends over the past month. Unless my title has “Linux” in it, I don’t think actually spending the money and time to take the test will be worth it to me, but the learning will be very nice to have. I’ll eventually be ready for, but won’t be taking, the Red Hat Certified Systems Admin test. Lastly, I’m also watching some Linux courses over at Linux Academy, partly for my own learning, partly to normalize what I’ve learned over the years (and close some gaps), and partly to satisfy some training expectations at work. It’s also stoked my interest in D&D again, but not quite enough to pursue finding a group yet to scratch the lifelong itch. I knew I’ve love it, and I finally started watching it a few weeks ago, and my fears were confirmed: I absolutely love it and need to keep watching to catch up. Essentially, the show is a group of voice actors playing D&D. I’ve long been aware of the Critical Role show on Geek & Sundry since it began, but I’ve never taken the time to watch it since I knew it would be a timesuck. I’ve skipped around a bit to check other things out (I’m otherwise working backwards through his channel), and I found a tutorial video he did about picking spool pins and it’s absolutely invaluable and amazing how well he teaches lockpicking. These are absolutely excellent they’re small digestible videos and Bill talks wonderfully through everything he is doing while giving the viewer a very clear, close view of his work and clear audio of the progress as well. First, I’ve been turned onto BosnianBill’s YouTube channel which has 1000+ lockpicking videos. Much of the rest of my free time has been spent trying to catch up on some new youtube channels and fitting them into my other habits and priorities. Between attending and preparing to go, that took quite a lot of my free time. For the second year in a row, I went to the tabletop gaming convention Gen Con in Indianapolis. But another part of it has been tackling some personal activities. Part of the reason has been busyness at work. Posted in general Leave a commentĪctivity got a little sparse here over the past few weeks. Nothing is more uninteresting than someone who holds their true self back because they’re afraid that other people might not like it. They don’t worry about what others think of them. The only thing interesting people enjoy as much as learning is sharing their discoveries with others. To interesting people, the world has infinite possibilities. Interesting people do what interests them. (I would add that they are enthusiastic, and infectious!) And these persons really do match the below items pretty well. In the past 6 months, I’ve realized I’ve added a few people to a list I never really knew I had: People I admire, look up to professionally and personally, and whom I would love to share dinner and conversation with to learn from them and emulate them. Diving outside the norm again, I found this list of 8 Habits of Incredibly Interesting People to be, well, incredibly interesting. ![]()
