📚 Finished reading one of the coolest management books I've read in a while. In the book, Frank Barrett explores the relationship between #jazz music and #leadership styles. There's a lot you can learn from legends, like Duke or Miles Davis. Some notes🧵

goodreads.com/book/show/1900…
1/ Mastering improvisation
Leadership styles that embrace improvisation don't need to be chaotic. Good leaders should embrace it as a way to let go of the illusion of certainty and control, and act sooner rather than later. Great #jazz music was created because of good improv
2/ Affirmative competence
Learn while doing, listen deeply, and get in the groove. It's ok not to have all the answers, believe good things will happen, and work your way with your teams into experimentation and progress frameworks. Something good will come out of it 🎺

TWEETSTORM TIME!

Please do the thing where you help me spread the word with likes/RTs (I ain't too proud to beg)

Tonight's title: Splash Wildebeest

Bamba returns! But we weren't worried there, really. The bigger news is Jalen Suggs broke a thumb and that changes things here with Cole Anthony still out.
Oh, the universe says I'm supposed to tag these threads with #FantasyBasketball so we'll just do that here and see how it goes.

The wife has some patient notes to write, so I suppose I can carve out some time for this JUMBO STYLE TWEETSTORM.

Let's see if I can make it through to the end in one piece. It was a behemoth.

RTs/Likes always appreciated!

Look at big JaVale. Hah! I have a soft spot for him, and honestly he hasn't been that bad lately. He's a dynamite fill-in if Ayton misses time again down the road. In the interim, he's more of a 14 or 16 teamer. Still fun, though.
Kevin Love is very much in the streamer discussion but not a games cap level guy. Jarrett Allen's FG% is robust. But overall, no particularly earth-shattering fantasy valuation changes.
