(Image unfortunately does not represent the setting of my actual think week, which is more along the lines of small apartment in New York City.) I’m going off-the-grid for a sorta annual Think Week. On the docket for this year: process and distill learning from material related to non-hierarchical, shared leadership teams, the role of the CEO, and — if I have time (fingers crossed) — global virtual teams. Many years ago, I became fascinated with the Think Week concept after hearing about how [Bill Gates went into the woods](https://www.earlytorise.com/an-idea-for-you-from-bill-gates-that-will-help-you-take-a-giant-step-forward/) for a week each year with a giant stack of reading material. I’ve been fortunate during my nine years at Fractured Atlas to be at a place — with stellar and encouraging coworkers — that supports similar kinds of exploration and knowledge acquisition adventures. I’m in the process of writing a piece about Fractured Atlas’s journey with non-hierarchical, shared leadership models that we originally announced in [this post](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/launching-exponential-creativity-ventures-and-restructuring-our-management-team-4042d0865e82). Meanwhile, I thought that I would share some of the content on the docket for next week.
