Thanks for calling it out, Adam. When I ask senior leaders why they still use Myers-Briggs despite no validity evidence, the response is usually some combination of "system lock in" (everybody uses it) and "good team conversations" (it's accessible and opens up conversations).

Why do we hold women to a higher standard than men when it comes to advocating for gender equality? Why do we assume women would be any more effective at changing institutional sexism than men? --> Female managers do not close gender pay gap: study" https://t.co/TWLRDyYLcK

How ‘unretiring’ is changing careers @cfarrellecon “the vision of elder years is shifting from a model of leisure&decline to one of engagement&purpose...phased retirement.. part-time work..bridge jobs and encore careers..tapping into the gig economy" https://t.co/YE0d5esRAL

Perfect order is uninteresting. Alan Lightman of @MIT_CMSW explores the macro and the micro to provide evidence and examples of how uninteresting life would be without #change – in this case, the balancing of #order and #disorder. https://t.co/EiVNNm5NqG #WednesdayWisdom

A lack of #diversity in #AI is perpetuating historical biases from hate speech-spewing chatbots to racial bias in facial recognition. Say it again: diversity matters. https://t.co/oFTCIqiY3W

"We are not powerless when it comes to gender inequality. It’s difficult to overcome our individual biases, but once we recognize that biases are also built into our evaluation systems, we can change those systems." @HarvardBiz https://t.co/emchOm139x

When you meet someone new, don't ask "What do you do?"
It limits what people share about themselves to a job description.

Instead, try "What do you love to do?"
It ignites curiosity and invites people to express their distinctive interests.

"Across 30 countries, 11% of the female labor force is at risk of losing jobs to automation, while only 9% of the male labor force is at risk." This is just one more reason to get more women in STEM. https://t.co/3mrtB51XIF

The power of saying "I don't know."

Women and minorities are subject to much stronger punishments for the same norm violations as majority men at work. Majority men are afforded more latitude to deviate from rules. Important work by @MicheleJGelfand and @HRileyBowles

The mark of a lifelong learner is recognizing that you can learn something from everyone you meet.

Knowledge is best sought from experts. Wisdom can come from anywhere.
