Kitty!


Spent the afternoon and evening with family celebrating my nephew's birthday and got to meet their new kitten for the first time.  She's super cute and energetic!

I'm happy to note that I was able to disconnect completely from work for the entire day.  I'd say that's generally the case with family time.  Even spending a half-day every other week with family is an effective way to take a break from the startup, and that's an achievable schedule.

Evolutionary Purpose

Will and I discussed finding the balance of progress and purpose in organisations (startups and otherwise) which reminded me of the book Reinventing Organizations by Frédéric Laloux which was recommended to me by one of my mentors.  We found the clip above on YouTube (if you're not familiar with Laloux, it's a nice short summary of his work) and one element stood out for me: what he called Evolutionary Purpose . How I understand this concept is that the purpose (or soul) of an organisation evolves over time, rather than an individual or leadership team directing towards a specific outcome.  It's very much in line with the sailboat analogy and the lunch discussion I had with the team. It is very reassuring to me that the people closest to me today all affirmed my feelings on leadership, and interesting that it often took very different paths/context for us to be able to truly connect on the subject.

Uncle day!
