    Klidný pátek s hudebním kalendářem! 🤞

    Dnes slaví 73. narozeniny *Michael Gordon Oldfield*!

    *Mike Oldfield*, nar. 15.5.1953, je 🇬🇧 multiinstrumentalista, skladatel a producent, který zásadně ovlivnil podobu moderní hudby propojením rocku, elektroniky, folku a vážné hudby.

    Profesionální dráhu zahájil již v r. 1967 v sourozeneckém folkovém duu *The Sallyangie* se sestrou Sally. Skutečný zlom však nastal v r. 1973, kdy vydal své první sólové album *Tubular Bells*. Toto monumentální instrumentální dílo se stalo prvním titulem nově vzniklého vydavatelství *Virgin Records* a díky své kvalitě (a použití úvodního motivu ve filmu Vymítač ďábla) se stalo celosvětovým fenoménem.

    Mike je známý svou schopností ovládnout desítky hudebních nástrojů. Jeho styl se v průběhu dekád proměňoval od progresive rocku a symfonických skladeb přes new age a ambient až po pop-rock 80. let.

    Dosud Mike vydal 26 studiových alb. Za zmínku stojí ta nejzásadnější:

    - *Tubular Bells* (1973): Definující dílo jeho kariéry.

    - *Ommadawn* (1975): Je považováno za vrchol jeho folkově-etnických fúzí.

    - *Crises* (1983): Obsahuje jeho největší komerční hit, popovou klasiku „Moonlight Shadow“.

    - *The Songs of Distant Earth* (1994): Průkopnické dílo v oblasti digitální produkce a sci-fi atmosféry.

    Za *Tubular Bells* získal v r. 1975 cenu Grammy za nejlepší instrumentální kompozici. Kromě toho je držitelem mnoha zlatých a platinových desek po celém světě.

    V současné době žije Mike v ústraní na Bahamách. Jeho posledním velkým studiovým počinem bylo album *Return to Ommadawn* (2017). Ačkoliv fanoušci stále doufají v dokončení projektu *Tubular Bells 4*, Mike se věnuje především soukromému životu a k veřejnému dění se vyjadřuje jen zřídka.

    My si dnes dáme po ochutnávce z jeho 8. a 9. alba.
    Fajnoví šmekři si zřejmě dají nějakou kompozici v kuse. Já taky, jen co si uvařím ☕ a sednu k práci.

    Enjoy! ♥️🎶

  9. A few years ago I was asked to facilitate a multi-team retrospective across a department. It had been previously noted that there seemed to be a psychological safety problem across this department and I was asked to address that specifically, so I did. I introduced the topic, provided some context around psychological safety, and we started to explore what people were noticing and how they felt.

    Within about twenty minutes, I and my co-facilitators were receiving panicked messages from managers who had not been invited to the retrospective. They were telling me to stop the conversation and leave it alone. It turned out that people inside the retrospective had felt so uncomfortable just talking about this subject that they had reached out to their own management to get it shut down.

    An interesting point is that by the end of the retrospective, everyone inside the room was calm and feeling good about the outcome of the meeting.

    Outside the room however, the panic continued for weeks. Various levels of management pulled me into meetings to discuss what had happened. What could have been a clean two-hour retrospective became a weeks-long organizational disruption, triggered not by anything that happened in the room, only by the alarm signals that had spread outward from it.

    So what was actually happening?
