Bevy Baseball team is your Palo Alto PCL city champions! We had such an incredible season with what one longtime coach called, “the best PCL team I have ever seen.” Every player had something to give and contribute. Coaching with Brian/JC/Kevin was awesome too. Ready for a break but also so fun.

A business can't give you true belonging. It's literally written in the contract.

@davidspinks co-founded @cmxhub, helped define the community-building industry in Silicon Valley, and wrote the book Business of Belonging.

20 years ago today @andersenerica and I were married. I keep this photo right by my bed - it's the first photo we ever took together.
Whenever life has felt complicated, I look at this picture and remember that this guy would kill to be married to this girl with this life and I realign myself.
Feeling very blessed today.

Micromanaging is holding your team back more than you think.

Liz Wiseman (@bylizwiseman) is a NYT bestselling author and former head of leadership development at Oracle.
