• How knowledge work does not produce objective or mechanical feedback
• The effect of anxiety on knowledge workers’ performance
• Amy’s Harvard Business Review article “Speeding Up Team Learning”
• The mechanical language of management (which hasn’t caught up with the nature of work today)
• Henry Ford-like management behaviors that are outdated but, nevertheless, still used
• How to understand psychological safety by practicing it (instead of just thinking about it)
• Coming to terms with our own fallibility
• Amy and Chris’s appearance on "For the Love of Work" podcast
