CEO Insights: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work


Rachel and I had dinner at AB Kitchen with our favorite server, T. She’s terrific!

We talked about business and human nature.

She shared, “Numbers don’t lie. People do.”

Interesting take.

Made me think: What am I lying about? You?


• Looking back at my notes from the last few weeks.

Theme: A leader’s job is to create a predictable environment where your people will thrive.

  • Roadmap 🚗
  • Show up Consistently
  • Decide Priorities
  • Create Clarity
  • Drive Alignment
  • Check Resources
  • Give a shit

Maybe I’m delusional, but I think it’s about that easy.

Made me think: How’s the predictable environment at ProvenChaos?


• Brooklyn’s team won the softball Championship last night 11-8. It ended well past my bedtime. 😴Super fun!

B didn’t have a great game. Missed a fly ball in the center. Missed a ball at first. Didn’t get on base.

Sparked a conversation about teammates picking each other up – and being a good teammate.

There are always ways to contribute. Even when it isn’t going your way on the field…

Proud of her relentlessly positive attitude and approach. Contagious!

Made me think: How am I showing up for my team?


I’m grateful you’re here. #BetterTogether
