To building the team and remembering our north and solving the problems along the way.
Some times though, some times we can’t help ourselves. When you feel like someone is undermining you and fair process, when that team member got seduced by underhand practices, or when the enthusiastic customer is choked by vested interests. You may not waste energy, but bad actors sap it all the same.
