Writing Our Autobiography.

Nobody likes to make a decision. Everybody likes to criticise.

- Roger Ury, Negotiation expert.

I’ve worked in organisations where the only way to get a decision from the boss was to create something provoking criticism. Occasionally from the boss. More often via one of their courtiers. It helped refine my understanding of the boss’s intent.

We’re often more enthusiastic editors of another’s story than authors of our own.

All the while our criticisms are ghostwriting our autobiography.
