Holding all the power? That’s weak design.

It makes your teams or community a one-person system. If they crash (and they will), everything breaks. It's too fragile.

To build anything lasting, we gotta share the power. That's the real meaning of Decentering.

Team Upgrade
Decentering isn't taking power away; it's making the system tougher.

Shared Strength: Decisions come from the whole crew's wisdom, not just one ego. Makes the system super tough.

Fixing Bad Rules: Past systems used unfair rules (taking too much).

Restorative justice is fixing those old rules. It's about repair and building new deals that work for everyone, not about blame.

Better Ideas: We listen to people who were ignored. We get the full picture. We make smarter choices.

Your system needs room for everyone. Strong foundations are always shared.

Are you still leaning too hard on one person? 🤔

How to be a 10x teammate (not just a 10x engineer):

1. Create an environment of psychological safety.
2. Encourage everyone to participate equally.
3. Assign credit accurately and generously.
4. Amplify unheard voices in meetings.
5. Give constructive, actionable feedback and avoid personal criticism.
6. Hold yourself and others accountable.
7. Cultivate excellence in an area that is valuable to the team.
8. Educate yourself about diversity, inclusivity, and equality in the workplace.
9. Maintain a growth mindset.
10. Advocate for company policies that increase workplace equality.

I'd say this applies to all other roles and teams, too. Not just IT & engineering.

We filled up 11 boxes with freshly picked #GrannySmith #apples yesterday. Me, Hannah & 2 volunteers went out on a small pick(1 tree). An excellent harvest gleaning day - for Hannah's last day with LifeCycles.

Y’all. This is a known spammer who is picking up momentum. We’re seeing LOTS of accounts using the same name and avatar. But the bio varies from instance to instance. And a minority of them don’t have an avatar, but still use the name.

If you see these accounts, please report them. We’re trying to wipe them out, but we can’t until we know about them.

Thanks for the teamwork! 🤝

💥Meet my #fitness clients, Judy and John. At 76 years young, they’ve completely transformed their lives since starting online strength training with me in 2022.

🎗️One is a #cancer survivor, and both have shown that consistent movement at home can change everything. They’ve gone from using resistance bands to enjoying gardening, and from doing push-ups to keeping up with their grandkids. 💥

…community, which is why I’m proud to support events like National Night Out, happening this Tuesday, August 5th at MacDonald Stadium. Free food, music, and a chance to meet the officers and community public safety partners who serve our city.

Thank you to the Malden Police Department for their continued dedication to building trust and showing up for our community.
