Reliable system design means creating architectures that can handle failures gracefully. It’s about anticipating what could go wrong and building in safeguards. Think of it like building a bridge that won’t collapse even if a few cables snap. You want redundancy, fault tolerance, and quick recovery baked into the system.

In these days of polarization, we no longer actually listen to each other. We focus on counter points or rebuttals in many of our interactions. We could affect meaningful changes in our ecosystems if we tried to empathetically listen and understand each other. We often understand problems differently. We have different perspectives.

A leader needs to be able to see the big picture and the little picture simultaneously. The leader cannot get lost in the labyrinth. We bring on team members that are qualified and capable of doing their part and we need to give them the freedom to do that. Coach as necessary. Assist or provide additional resources as needed, where needed. Being able to give difficult feedback, as appropriate. But above all, make sure we are leading above the fray.

This is a delightful story of living in the present, taking the time to interact with others --- even those who we seldom interact, and remembering people and places. People like to be remembered and recognized. As leaders, we lead organizations of People. A leader is someone who inspires others and has the ability to motivate others to action. A person-centered leader inspires loyalty and respect.

From a poem by Linda Ellis entitled “The Dash” “I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of the birth and spoke the following date with tears. But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between the years." How we invest those dash years depends on our priorities and how we choose to impact the lives of the people and world around us.
