I never thought I would be blogging so I haven't given much thought on just what I might say that preserves the privacy of the people I care about more so than even mine. While I consider myself to be a private person, as a manager, I am more a discreet person.
A manager has a lot of responsibilities but the greatest one is getting the most out of the team. Sometimes this means letting the super stars run and sometimes it means holding them close to create the draft that accelerates everyone. This cannot be done if the manager is indiscreet, talks without thinking, or worse appears to hold an offensive position.
Then there is my private life, in which the circumstances for people around me have profoundly affected my life. How can I write about my profound life changing experiences without disclosing more than they would wish me to, even if they or I were not readily identifiable?
How sanitized can this be without restricting the catharsis of the writing? Is having readers and commentors part of that catharsis? I know I'm not interested in reading someone else's angst.
