The light tilts, the col­ors deep­en, pave­ments shine after quick show­ers. Autumn moves the city from one state to anoth­er with­out fuss or apol­o­gy. That same cur­rent runs through our work­days: from tiny thresh­olds to big­ger cross­ings it’s all about the art of leav­ing one thing clean­ly and arriv­ing well at the next. These tran­si­tions come in all sizes — from the eye­­lash-thin switch between two tasks that lasts a heart­beat to the long arcs that reshape teams, com­pa­nies, and peo­ple over months, some­times years.
