Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Radical Canter Podcast.

I'm Kim Scott, co-founder of Radical Cander, and author of Radical Cander and Just Work.

I'm Jason Rosoff, CEO and co-founder of Radical Cander.

And I'm Amy Sandler, your host for the Radical Cander

podcast, and a very warm welcome to the second episode of Season 5. Today, we're going to revisit a topic

that Jason and I discussed last season, which is The Perils of Micromanaging. But before we get into it, as we kick off 2023 and our new season,

I know we felt like last year was the third year of 2020. And so I just wanted to see how are we doing?

In 2023, Jason, just yesterday, you led an exercise for us in our first full team meeting, which is all five of us, inviting us to

reflect on our past year, what stood out for us as well as to share what we're most excited about

for this year. So I was really curious what inspired you to do that exercise and if there was

any nuggets you wanted to share with our listeners about

that? Well, I think you inspired me to do that exercise actually because in our one-on-one last

week, you mentioned that you were sort of curious about how people were thinking about the year.

And I was like, I'm curious about that too. So that's how I, that was my proximal motivation

for adding that to the agenda for our team meeting was our conversation. So I give you 100% of the

credit for that. I did not know that. So this could all seem like a big setup for me to just get

some credit, but that's actually... What a great idea, Jason.

He was not fishing for compliments. That was genuine. That was genuine curiosity.

So actually, that's really, you know, I'm glad I asked because I didn't, that's really great to hear.

Yes. Well, it was also a really fun exercise.

I think one of the interesting things for me about that exercise was I asked the question

very open-ended.
