## What Jamie wrote

Larson reflecting that you must thing about the humans in mix, and what brings them energy, as you think about the priority of the work that you tackle.

> Back to the main topic: correctness and humans mix in complex ways. The most important lesson I’ve learned as I’ve become a better manager is that there is almost always a correct answer, but applying that answer to your specific situation will always be nuanced and messy. Further, the correct answer is almost always different if you’re taking a short-term or long-term perspective. You should always be in the longest-term perspective that you’re certain you can reach, but sometimes that’s only next week.

The focus on what provides energy is a good one.
