🌱🚀 Harnessing the Power of Insights | Former FedEx, BellSouth | Chairman KS&R

5 BIG THINGS I learned this week: (1) Headshots. Everybody has an opinion 😎 (2) There's a right way and a wrong way to handle the departure of a valued team member. I am more convinced than ever that the best way is to respect the decision, allow for time to transition, and show appreciation for the time you worked together. (3) Sometimes you've got to test your skills. This week I stepped in to complete several in-depth interviews about a highly technical (technology) project. Guess what? I survived. My client thought they went really well. Now I'm on the hook for about 10 more next week 🙄 (4) And sometimes you've got to let your experts be experts. So grateful for our DSI and IT teams who have really stepped up on this same highly technical (technology) project. They have amazed me with their ability to experiment and engage with the technology, demonstrating a clear understanding of how it works as well as documenting failures and opportunities throughout. (5) Lastly, if you haven't seen the Miley Cyrus and Jimmy Fallon re-creation of Dolly and Kenny singing "Islands in the Stream" you are truly missing out 👇 Onward to another great week. Better understanding. Better decisions. That's KS&R.
