@DevByPowerPoint That’s my go to DevLen breakfast spot.
I substituted fruit for the potatoes because otherwise it was too much grease for me.

@caranorth11 @DevByPowerPoint Can they also make julienne fries?

[Simon Blair @SimonBlairTrain]

@britz @dvassallo Seconded! Scalp sunburns are NOT fun.
Hats are good too. Bonus: hat hair and bed head are non-issues.

@dankeckan @sladetim Maybe “Hybrid, mostly remote”?

@caranorth11 It may not be possible. I have WestJet gift cards, but they can’t be used on partner-operated flights. ��

One model I use constantly is the "hierarchy of capabilities" from the book "Humanocracy: Creating organizations as amazing as the people inside them". As leaders we can expect people to follow the rules, be diligent in their work & to have expertise. But if we want people to take initiative, be creative & be willing to take risks, we have to create the conditions where they "want to" do these things. If leaders could support people to move up this pyramid, we could eliminate half the compliance load in a typical organisation. A summary from @MarcellaBremer: https://t.co/Ic8WS9fnvK

The most effective networking strategy I’ve found has nothing to do with conferences, cocktail hours, cold emails, or any of the common ideas you hear.

1) Do interesting things.
2) Share them publicly.

Like-minded people will come to you.

@britz I would say so. I’m betting they still have a mental model that equates “writing a book” with “expert” and “writing a blog” with “dilettante”.

[Simon Blair @SimonBlairTrain]

@britz I think this is attributable to perceived barriers to entry.
“Anybody” can start a blog, but writing a book is an achievement.

Good use of data by @AdamMGrant and the folks at Facebook to identify 3 clear reasons why employees stay there (and probably everywhere else too) https://t.co/KfvCIlkG5l #hr #business #management

@bschlenker There’s a prompt for that. 😁

[Simon Blair @SimonBlairTrain]

@kkapp Hopefully it’s not indicative of a kickback scheme.

@bschlenker What a cutie!

@tmiket … made in PowerPoint. 😁

@britz It’s a sign of danger. I saw it in a documentary.
