These hit hard. (1) "Readers are not forgiving of imperfection. But don’t you think listeners are totally unforgiving of insincerity?" (2) "Her story was everything that employee communications “best practices” would say is wrong.... Her story was also one of the most read and commented on articles of the year." Loved this piece and the reminders it brought with it.

Oh man! That bit about 'scripted stories' ! From what I know - that's the most damaging disrespect you can do to any story! And perhaps why we zone out so hard during meetings - these dangers of streamlining, having to give cohesion to our ways - the dissolution of letting ourselves be surprised!

Even to be the story of the moment as it presents itself.
