The Harder We Work
Chess is a metaphor. It is a complex game of strategy and execution. The game provides a useful mental model for the complex world of organizations. Are you a Knight, Rook, or Queen? Do you need to move straight in or tack to achieve the successful delivery of your project? We know that the most effective people are able to be pawns to kings, depending upon the context.

“It’s not failure you should fear”
If you ever watched Cheers … the head writer was Rob Long.
If you listen to the podcast Martini Short - that’s Rob Long.
The opening story on the click through just cracked me up.
”It’s not failure you should fear. It’s snobbery.”
Personally, I have zero interest in things going back to normal - preferring to work out how to create a new normal - sadly, I’m not feeling it at the moment.
What a great and real observation from @gapingvoid
This week’ newsletter : ’A’ Future - Not ‘The’ Future
”‘Expect the unexpected’ says the social media meme. When it happened. We froze.”
I seem to be on the same track as @GapingVoid
Now you just need to recognize that it is your future. Nobody else’s. YOURS.
Gaping Void - back in 2007 talking Cluetrain …
”Cluetrain is the most important book about the internet ever written. Why? Because it was the first book that talked about the internet the way it REALLY is, i.e. people talking, as opposed to the way business and the media pretend it is, i.e. people buying.”

… it’s an old headline that came to mind when I saw this from Gaping Void.
I love the ongoing imagery @gapingvoid continues to develop around data, information, knowledge, insight, and wisdom.
