My frustration with a superintendent boiled over at the end of a project.
Should have done it months before.
Yes, he should been doing better work. But if I brought up my concerns early, he could adjust. I waited too long. He had no chance.
I need to stay warm hearted but become thick skinned.
Kindness is not pushing things under the rug. Kindness is (gracefully) surfacing problems while they can be fixed.
My job is to have uncomfortable conversations — I owe my teammates the best opportunity to excel at their work.

Some Links
A Love Supreme on bagpipes by Rufus Harley. nuff’ said.
Andrew Eberlin took amazing photographs of Charles Jenck’s Cosmic House (1978-1983). It’s wild. Check it out. His newsletter is well worth checking out — his photographs find the extraordinary in the mundane (without trying too hard).
Ryan Pendell reads widely and writes with breadth. His newsletters are always enriching, and I suspect he’s been a subtle influence to encourage my continued turn towards ancient literature.
