hat wearing

Morning Reading for August 26

The problem with wearing a lot of hats is that one of those hats becomes hat-sorting.

You might have started with a business hat and a numbers hat and a sports guy hat but now you’ve got too many hats to keep playing this casual—so you go and get a hat sorting hat. A hat storage hat. An education hat to pick up your masters degree in hat management. A hat to stack all the boxes for all the hats you need to manage the hats you have.

Maybe the answer is a better analogy—or maybe all of us contain multitudes, not just in work, but in our lives, the many sides of us, good at many things, no hats required.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
