TOMORROW, free on Zoom at 9am PT, it's Hillary Hartley on How People Work, Live! We're going to chat about horizontal leadership, when and how and whether to use sticks and carrots, AI (gasp), and how there's actually things the private sector could learn from gov. calendly.com/verylittlegr...

Dan and Hillary talk about the principles of horizontal leadership, building mandates, whether and how you can use AI and increase your agency, plus what the private sector could learn.

see air travel is complicated and dangerous and people can die but we decided it's quite useful and we'd like to do it safely so now we have the FAA and CAA and a bunch of other regulatory regimes and it's Quite Good, Actually? The question has always been: how many of which people must die first?
