When you get defensive about feedback, you fail twice. You fail to learn today, and you fail to encourage people to keep teaching you tomorrow.

If you can't handle the truth, people stop telling you the truth.

A key to growth is showing that you're coachable.

Leadership is taking responsibility for a mission, illuminating the path forward, and inspiring the team to reach their full potential.

Thinking about management vs leadership…

[Adam Donkin @adamdonkin]

Management is the balance between taking care of people and taking care of the company, and handing the conflicts between them as humanely as possible.

Because games attract tech-savvy young users, and because part of the fun of games lies in inventing new rules, game worlds are the seedbed for new ideas that eventually migrate to non-game economies. We're seeing this play out with the blockchain today. https://t.co/CBTezmZmmb

This is deeply disturbing, and I say that as a regular hunter. I respect responsible hunting, including population management, but I strongly oppose extermination disguised as hunting. ⁣

@iamdavidhill @figmadesign To deal with multiple accounts, I have the Figma Beta installed alongside the standard desktop build. Makes it easy to switch between two accounts (and keep your nudge amount at 8, where it should be).
