Voltaire's French publisher was sent to the Bastille and Voltaire had to escape from Paris again, as judges sentenced the book to be "torn and burned in the Palace." Voltaire spent a calm 16 years with his deistic mistress, Madame du Chatelet, in Lorraine. The book also satirized the religious teachings of Rene Descartes and Blaise Pascal, including Pascal's famed "wager" on God. There he wrote Lettres philosophiques (1733), which galvanized French reform. Upon a second imprisonment, in which Francois adopted the pen name Voltaire, he was released after agreeing to move to London. He launched a lifelong, successful playwriting career in 1718, interrupted by imprisonment in the Bastille.

By the time Bing Crosby introduced the tune in the winter of 1942, it had evolved into something far grander: the stately yuletide ballad that would become the world's all-time top-selling and most widely recorded song. When Irving Berlin first conceived the song "White Christmas," he envisioned it as a "throwaway" - a satirical novelty number for a vaudeville-style stage revue. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Without that maneuverability, you risk being overly rigid. Because these managers are closer to the ground than senior leaders, they must be able to maneuver within your processes. You need enough structure to enable standard procedures that promote repeatable outcomes, and enough flexibility for product and project managers to take ownership and make necessary pivots. An overly rigid process simply makes the fenced area too small. Imagine a fence surrounding an area in which the leader is able to move freely. In his book, Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink states, “Discipline equals freedom.” In other words, the right amount of process provides leaders with a measure of discretion. ![]() I would choose chaos over rigidity simply because there are infinite possibilities to improve – but be careful not to overcompensate by shifting too far toward rigidity.
