Here’s a problem we don’t think about enough: Even as more professions look like Rockefeller’s – thought jobs that require quiet time to think a problem through – we’re stuck in the old world where a good employee is expected to labor, visibly and without interruption.

A friend sent me this note after a delayed reply to my message. I'd love a world where we drop the often (self) imposed urge to measure the quality of our contribution to relationships based on speed.

The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why aren’t we all like that old bird?
