Tom Peters wrote about a practice at Hewlett Packard called “Managing by Walking Around.” I once found magic when I misstated it as “Managing my Wondering Around” instead of my intended “Wandering Around.”
I operationalized this idea by thinking, “I wonder what’s happening over there?” Again, a little magic. I got to know more people, improved relationships and definitely gave and received more high-fives.

I hope that makes sense.
Brilliant Bill! I love everything about this. The inadvertent change, the reframe and the serendipity of it all. Tom Peters would be proud. 👍🏻 💯
