5 Things / Ted Lasso

This week I watched the latest episode of Ted Lasso (“Man City”).

If you've ever been curious about how to build "psychological safety" on your team and reap the benefits revealed in the Google study of its internal teams, the episode provides a mini masterclass in how to start. (TINY SPOILER) Coach Lasso began by telling his staff that he experienced panic attacks, then others shared their own struggles and mistakes.

5 Things / lessons

Sometimes I feel like being a leader means I’m in a near-constant state of asking myself, “OK, so what can I learn from this?”

I often look at work (and sometimes life) as an experiment. I’ve been a business owner for over 17 years now and it’s impossible to get it right all the time. And it’s certainly impossible to be all things to all people. My work, whether it’s writing, or speaking, or building and leading a team, is constantly being evaluated, tweaked, and adjusted along the way. But one thing being a business owner has taught me is to focus on progress over perfection.
