Winning Penalties (aka The Problem at Man U)

Every game has its own rules. They’re there for a reason - so that everyone works to a level playing field. That there’s no unfair advantage. So that there’s no bias in how one team or player is judged relative to another.

Of course, teams push the boundaries. They’ll operate at the margins of the rules where they can, in order to gain some sort of advantage. I get that.

But underlying it all, it’s important for everyone to operate on the basis of fairness and the principle of good faith performance. Surely, we all want that.

Removing Negativity From Our Orbit

Have you ever removed a connection on LinkedIn?

I did recently, for the first time ever. This was someone I’ve known for a while, with plenty of shared experience and common connections. The reason I did it was because of his relentless negativity. There wasn’t a single post he made that was positive. Nothing that was uplifting. Instead, he’d ridicule, make fun and generally denigrate others (including his own employer).
