Ambassador Lauri Apple has agreed to rework some of her former writing on Intentional Relationship Management for the guide.

Hey, to do this should I move my published article to Markdown, add some refinements then make a PR?

semioticrobotic commented 4 years ago

I love that plan! Does that work for you? If there's any way I can help, please do let me know.

lasomethingsomething commented 4 years ago

Just did it :)

lasomethingsomething commented 4 years ago

I'm wondering if it would make sense if I add a few paragraphs here about ways teams and whole companies can be more intentional. This would fall along the lines of these suggestions:

using meeting agendas
weekly check-ins about process to gauge improvements
increasing some types of documentation to sustain transparency in the org

Thanks, @LappleApple!

I'm all in favor of expanding the chapter a bit to include those additional dimensions. And they gesture toward themes other chapters are covering, so they'd fit quite nicely into the guide's overall narrative. Please consider if you have the time!

I poked through a bit today and made just a few inconsequential changes (mostly formatting). Can pass back to you for those additions. Think they'd be great!

lasomethingsomething commented 4 years ago

Cool, I'll try to get to them tomorrow. :)

semioticrobotic commented 4 years ago

How's this going for you, @LappleApple? What can I do to help get it across the finish line?

lasomethingsomething commented 4 years ago

Oh wow, I didn't realise +2 weeks passed. I guess this is what happens when you move house five times in two weeks ... I'm done moving now though, and my Internet is connected!

semioticrobotic commented 4 years ago

Yikes! Glad to hear you're settled. No rush or pressure!

semioticrobotic commented 4 years ago

Any idea when you might be able to wrap this up, @LappleApple? I'm hoping to launch the book by the end of the year and would love if your chapter could be part of it. Happy to help in any way I can.
