This is just great. May well be the best piece of 2024. And I don't just mean "so far" =)

What I got from this is that you will continue to practice situational (thought) leadership by sharing not only your learnings but also lessons and thoughts thus truly overachieving and taking your blog to the next level! You also plan to continue to maintain work-life balance and engage in self-important self-care rituals thus playing harder than everyone else (Like A Boss!)

One major ask I have for you for 2024 is to continue to allow your readers to see (parts of) your authentic self through this blog. Trolling aside, your posts not only provoke thoughts, but also bring me joy.

I thought #NoGreeForAnybody was just a thing amongst Nigerians but fam…! This piece embodies #NoGreeForAnybody with such an immaculate precision that I'd think you're the one who started the movement. Thank you for sharing this. 2024 is going to be a good year.

Thanks Jos for the insights and laughs! I am commuting to work right now to get into another semi-yearly strategy meeting to discuss our yearly and 5-year strategy. I will keep the "strategy is for amateurs" paragraph in my head during the meeting following that one, a phone call with a recruiter of another company.

This is a great example of where AI summarization goes wrong :-)

I think AI is taking what you say (and maybe everything?) too seriously. Humor is hard (and I don’t mean “tell me a joke” recall type of thing) and I have not seen any of the chats bots do well here.
