And there are all these tools now, right? Like we use Loom, for example, for that.

What I do, regardless if I'm in the office or not, if I have an idea, I will just quickly ping, if it's my direct or someone who reports to them or someone who reports to them. I work with all sort of people on my team. You don't need to only go to your directs. That's really important. And we'll just quickly get on Zoom and we'll talk about that.

uh this is hard well that says it all um i think it's hard because of like the access to thailand that i told you right that's the number one thing that's that's the number one thing the other thing is the process versus uh initiative like i think if you go back to that spectrum that i described like you can get stuff done with initiative or process
