Add a chapter on the benefits of intentional relationship management

[semioticrobotic]

Ambassador Lauri Apple has agreed to rework some of her former writing on Intentional Relationship Management for the guide.

Hey, to do this should I move my published article to Markdown, add some refinements then make a PR?

[semioticrobotic]

I love that plan! Does that work for you? If there's any way I can help, please do let me know.

[lasomethingsomething]

Just did it :)

I'm wondering if it would make sense if I add a few paragraphs here about ways teams and whole companies can be more intentional. This would fall along the lines of these suggestions:

• using meeting agendas
• weekly check-ins about process to gauge improvements
• increasing some types of documentation to sustain transparency in the org

Thanks, @LappleApple!

I'm all in favor of expanding the chapter a bit to include those additional dimensions. And they gesture toward themes other chapters are covering, so they'd fit quite nicely into the guide's overall narrative. Please consider if you have the time!

I poked through a bit today and made just a few inconsequential changes (mostly formatting). Can pass back to you for those additions. Think they'd be great!

[lasomethingsomething]

Cool, I'll try to get to them tomorrow. :)

How's this going for you, @LappleApple? What can I do to help get it across the finish line?

[lasomethingsomething]

Oh wow, I didn't realise +2 weeks passed. I guess this is what happens when you move house five times in two weeks ... I'm done moving now though, and my Internet is connected!

[semioticrobotic]

Yikes! Glad to hear you're settled. No rush or pressure!

Any idea when you might be able to wrap this up, @LappleApple? I'm hoping to launch the book by the end of the year and would love if your chapter could be part of it. Happy to help in any way I can.
