What we aren't changing, we're choosing!! I love the blameless checkins/postmortems, brilliant strategy, keeping it simple, keeping it focused, and living a life with intention and love!
Solid post, Brian. It seems there was a good bit of challenges from early on in Mr. Jensen Huang's life... which of course required much resiliency & grit from him. I smell biographical film potential here - hehe
Yes, his perseverance certainly appears to paying off... funny how hard work does that ;)
Also, your "comfort zone challenges" are pretty darn awesome too! May have to steal one or two of those (was actually hopeful to see if my oldest daughter would want to check out Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes with me this year!)

Thanks for the thoughtful response and for reading, Nick! Very cool on the BJJ -- last night was my first time and I really enjoyed it. I'll be going back, though watching people rolling and giving 50-60% effort still looks pretty intense!
This is something I clipped from “The Resilient Enterprise” years ago.
Resilient Enterprise
Cultures common to resilient enterprises:
- Communicate obsessively
The U.S. Navy is a good example. On aircraft carriers, there are lots of so-called listening networks that allow lots of people to listen to communication between pilots, the tower and the landing signal officers and others. It may sound like a lot of chatter, but everyone is listening intently so they can react immediately if something goes wrong.
- Empowerment
At Toyota, for example, every worker can pull a cord and stop production if they see a quality problem. If they pull it, the line stops and a team of engineers descend to see what is going wrong instead of just letting the line keep working. This is an effort to prevent the making of bad cars.
The same thing happens on a Navy carrier, where every sailor on deck has the right and responsibility to stop flight operations if they see a problem developing. This is amazing because you're talking about what could be a 19-year-old with one year of training having the right to stop a multibillion-dollar ship with 6,000 highly trained sailors on deck. In disasters, it's clear that you have to react immediately, and it's possible that one sailor could see it coming.
- A passion for work
Navy sailors, for example, don't think about their job as driving big ships, they think of their job as defending freedom.
Bang on!

Thanks for this post, Brian. All the best!

My favorite quote from Jansen - “greatness comes from character and suffering builds the character “ . Nicely done Brian .
Thats a great one -- he has been hitting on all cylinders with his life advice recently!
