Quotes

“What’s the healthiest, most sustainable way to work for the long-haul?” - Tim Cooper

“The work I do helps teams get over the ‘invisible walls’ that they bump into and don't realize they're doing so because those ‘invisible walls’ are the things that are hardest to identify, so Working Genius is one of those things that makes those walls visible and helps us to understand how to work better with each other, which just makes for a better work environment all around. It’s about getting work done.” - Tim Cooper

“When something is a frustration, we tend to shortcut or really shortchange how much work is required to get that stuff done. One way to solve this is to surround yourself with people that are great at that thing that frustrates you so I don't pull those shortcuts often and sacrifice the quality of work.” - Tim Cooper

“When you are working on a project and skip a stage, you skip people. When you skip people at work, they feel skipped at work. Nobody wants to feel skipped over at work. People don't leave jobs because the strategies are off or the tech isn't as good as it is somewhere else, they leave jobs for emotional reasons. They leave when they feel skipped over, or the workplace is too confusing, or they don’t know what their role is, or how to feel successful in the workplace.” - Tim Cooper 

“Organizational Health is a condition not a destination. We're never going to get there, but you can be moving in the direction of it starting now.” - Tim Cooper

Periodic Water Table With James McDonald

Okay, I almost always ask this, but what is Polyaluminum Chloride used for? What is its chemical formula? Does Polyaluminum Chloride come in a solid or liquid form? What does it remove? How does it compare to other aluminum compounds? What dosages or ratios are recommended? What could happen if you overfeed Polyaluminum Chloride? What could be the impact downstream?
