Meetings That Don’t Suck6 minutes read.
This, so much this: "Your calendar doesn’t make you important: Too many executives think a busy calendar makes them seem important, and that being double- or triple-booked is their chest full of medals.

Learning to deal with failures by acknowledging them first and trying to learn as much as possible, is a virtue for a strong team. Adding some humor to it cannot hurt.
