Hi everyone, Slightly late and brief today because I got to the end of yesterday and had second thoughts about the piece I was going to send. I’m currently in the throes of caffeine withdrawal and decided that the piece I wrote about that was unhelpfully grouchy.
I can recognise the value of these things outside of organisations, too. Example: on beginning self-publishing, I realised there was an avalanche of info to absorb about marketing, even from sources I trusted. I've also noticed that as time goes on I'm less and less good at absorbing and synthesising information, particularly when overwhelmed. So I've learned to focus very tightly on absorbing practicalities and social rules. I'm sure this has strategic costs, but the limitations are always time and energy, and those also need to go into writing books worth marketing in the first place...
