Buttoned Up

Buttoning all the way up doesn’t leave much room.

In fact, sometimes it’s more restrictive and even suffocating if the fit isn’t right.

Leaving at least one button undone is an option; it’s also a posture.

The posture of one that’s open to ideas, yes, ands and candor. One that’s ready to pivot and turn their head to see more possibilities.

Certainly make sure the work is buttoned up, but perhaps it’s best in the long run to not button up so far as to hamper the work rather than help it.
