@Killer_KBee Jeez...

@disruptandlearn How does leadership work? Who decides the overall strategy? This is something August wrestled with a lot in our early years.

You have written a RACI chart? Congratulations! Instead of getting work done, you’ve spent two weeks documenting your own bureaucracy! Now, let’s put it in on our shared drive and look at it literally never.

#5 Invest in the tools
