[08-10 08:51] [Chat] Sundance: So, I have happy hair right now. It's teal, purple, and navy blue from shoulders-down
[08-10 08:52] [Chat] Sundance finds a perverse amusement in the thought that I'm going to a meeting with a bunch of Pentagon people... with happy hair.
[08-10 08:52] [Chat] Sundance: Even leading a breakout session.
[08-10 08:52] [Chat] Fore: hehe
[08-10 08:52] [Chat] Fore: show em what fore!
[08-10 08:53] [Chat] Sundance: more about... 'Can't do things the same way if you don't expect the same results.
[08-10 08:54] [Chat] Fore: ahhh, insanity!
[08-10 08:56] [Chat] Sundance: Yup. Trying to make small vector changes, to yield positive results. In some cases, there's sense in some of the bureaucracy, but it doesn't get revisited... so it becomes unwieldy
[08-10 08:56] [Chat] Sundance: So much 'but that's how we've always done it.'
[08-10 08:56] [Chat] Sundance: Not enough 'Yeah, but we've learned. How can we do better?'
[08-10 08:57] [Chat] Fore: no one wants to buck convention
[08-10 08:57] [Chat] Sundance: in some cases... many... people are afraid of change
[08-10 08:57] [Chat] Sundance's all 'Yeah, but I died forty times in the Chaos invasion. I'm not afraid of no ghost!'
[08-10 08:58] [Chat] Fore: no upside unless it's huge. and if it's huge, it should've been obvious
[08-10 08:58] [Chat] Fore: can't buck convention for only a marginal change
[08-10 08:59] [Chat] Sundance: I'm changing that mindset at our Command. A lot of resistance is tied up in the 'if I say it can be better, it means I didn't do a good job before...'
[08-10 08:59] [Chat] Sundance: I'm emphasizing 'It's about learning and improving. We did the best we could at the time.'
[08-10 09:00] [Chat] Sundance: to quote Nick Fury 'Do better.'
[08-10 09:01] [Chat] Fore: you sound like the kind of leader I wouldn't mind following!
[08-10 09:01] [Chat] Sundance: Cool :) Hopefully, it catches on.
