@AlaskaAir Opened 30m early tks. We're showing up early because we know the lines are long. One hour sooner reduces the need for Alaska flyers to endure the quadruple serpentine, triple length TSA lines. And, provide comfort sooner because there are no services in the bag check area.

@AlaskaAir where are your ticket agents in Philadelphia? What time will they start checking bags?

@howlsinthemoon You could turn that look and experience into excitement by becoming an undercover buyer for the Liquor Cannabis Board (LCB). Make the law fun without a gun. I thought of that rhyme just in time for your inner poet.

Good judgement is a great trait to have yet difficult to develop. To improve listen and read critically,
seek diverse perspectives,
use data and experience,
identify and challenge your biases,
look at options, and
dial in the execution.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Leaders with ambition but no judgment run out of money.

Leaders with charisma but no judgment lead their followers in the wrong direction.

Leaders with passion but no judgment hurl themselves down the wrong paths.

@EyinkLynn @NBPTS @dontplayORTIZme @msosbornc @CCEANBPDP @cceanv @ClarkCountySch @taptap128 That's a great idea because it leads to the next natural question. Do the schools with the highest number of board certified teachers produce the most college bound students, best graduation rates, or your favorite measure of success?

If you want to influence change it helps to be a good storyteller because it can create touching moments that help people learn to view the world in new ways. - Influencer #projectmanagers #projectsponsors

@waOSPI New site design looks great and responds well on the cell. Nice project result.

[Curtis Richardson @curtisrpro]

@waOSPI Yeah. Congratulations!

When having difficulty with vendors, avoid the temptation to point at the vendor without taking a hard look internally. It's also important to find and adjust those behaviors (culture, process, people) that are inhibit your ability produce results. #projectmanagers

Using the word, "sprint" in your project doesn't make it an agile or adaptive project. Without agreement, conflict and mayhem may be lurking about to improve the difficulty of delivering your project. #projectmanagers #agileproject #projectsponsors

[Curtis Richardson @curtisrpro]

Heard a great idea for large projects. Have periodic meetings with vendor and project executive sponsors face-to- face so that key topics are handled before they become serious issues. #projectmanagers #executivesponsors

@cprockholt @waOSPI @WACSTP @WaTeacherLeader What launched my leadership? It's like being on the launch pad, waiting for the, Edge of Tomorrow... T minus 10, encountering leadership situation, T minus 5, new learning in progress. T minus 10...

Max wrote a note to his teacher, Mrs. Kara Mayes, and she made it to his baseball game. Absolutely incredible. Thank You! Mrs. Mayes, you made our day.

After a year, I'm not consistent, it depends on my view of the results:
1. A change I initiate is easy to give energy
2. A change that shows it will produce results will get energy
3. A change that does not show benefit has to request assistance and gets no energy otherwise

Kristen, I've taken the bait. When answered honestly, this simple message pokes at my ability to survive and innovate. I will make it resonate in my thoughts all day. https://t.co/UJzYXHHhyP

Spotted in a 10th grade ELA textbook at Davis High @YakimaSchools: Great reflective and applicable question. How do YOU respond to #change? Do you resist or adapt? @TennilleJeffSim #ossi #ListenandLearnTour @waOSPI

[Curtis Richardson @curtisrpro]

One thought that struck with me came from John Bowling at #ogaz.

It's easy to see the risk of change yet we have difficulty seeing the risk of what we're doing. Understand the risk of status quo. #projectmanagers

@stevenunn @conexiam @TheOpenGroup Are you randomly solving problems or do you have a deliberate plan of action. You must have direction and boundaries or find yourself in a slow flight with little or no control or value. Prepare for the turbulence before it hits or you may crash.

[Curtis Richardson @curtisrpro]

Didn't realize agency's that work with vendors like Cisco have to deal with counterfeit equipment or software https://t.co/ViRcPV255Y. There is an Open Trusted Technology Partner Standard maintained by TOGAF https://t.co/RBrtDC8tQe. #projectmanagers #ogaz

@GlennagalloMy It's good to hear that conditions are improving. Thanks for sharing and being a great advocate.
