Wisdom Wednesday – “Now, I’m just trying to figure out why the remote control is in the refrigerator!”

Possibly the most unusual advice I’ve ever received: “You shouldn’t care so much.” This TikTok sums up my thoughts after that – like, how much caring is too much, how much is too little and how much is “just right”? What should we care about?  What should we not care about?  What if your idea […]

Wisdom Wednesday – “I am reading books to *counteract* the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.”

Luckily, if you work in a library, all reading is work-related! 😉 I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human. — ??? ???? (@OrevaZSN) […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Moral Injury

Someone recently told me about the term “Moral Injury” which is similar to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and also comes out of studies of the military.

Wisdom Wednesday – Meetings

Running an effective meeting is one of the core skills managers and supervisors need in any organization.  (I don’t agree with everything in this picture but I do agree that meetings and how they are run is a reflection of your larger culture.)

Wisdom Wednesday – At The End of the Day…

I think it was the very first post I made when I started doing these workplace/organizational culture themed “Wisdom Wednesday” posts – the best lesson the best manager I never directly worked for taught me. “At the end of the day, forget all the rules and policies and guidelines because those are just words on […]

Wisdom Wednesday – What Constitutes Great Customer Service (and How Far Is Too Far?)
