Not so long ago, a skeptical generation held technology in check.

When we make mistakes in interpreting reality, we respond ineffectively. Or we behave inappropriately. Or misbehave. Or all three.

You are a manager. You are supposed to manage problems into successes. Not successes into problems. So, before you start your whining and firing, be very sure that there is no way for you to manage the “wrong one” into being a “right one”.

Every time you encounter nonsense, you are free to decide whether you see “sense” or “non-sense.” You are, indeed, the creator of nonsense. Or of sense. Your choice.
