difficulties at the office

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2001.02.14

Today at work I was told that the fellow who'd hired me would be leaving the project (under what sounded like strange circumstances). I was told that I'd now be reporting to someone else. Three hours later, I was reporting to the fellow that hired me. I can't get a grip on what's happening here.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.

—Col. Eric G. Kail
