Bosses who insult and intimidate don't get results. They leave people scarred.

Data: when NBA players have abusive coaches, they play more poorly for the rest of their careers—and commit more technical fouls.

Weak leaders make people weaker. Strong leaders make people stronger.

[Brianne Kimmel @briannekimmel]

Apart from valuations coming down, life hasn't really changed for pre-seed/seed investors.

We need to continue to take risks, get paid for the risks we take, and bet on unproven founders with crazy ideas.

We have to stay optimistic and a little insane.

[Monark @MonarkTech]

Are you able to share your full, authentic self at work?

Those who do tend to:

1️⃣ Build more meaningful relationships
2️⃣ Experience less stress
3️⃣ Experience higher levels of engagement
4️⃣ Pursue opportunities for career advancement
5️⃣ Bring out authenticity in team members

[Monark @MonarkTech]

So how do you make these stereotypes go away? (Hint: it takes more than just stereotype reduction training)

Picture a CEO 💭
...

Who did you envision?

When Plan International Canada surveyed thousands of Canadian youth, they found that only 10% envisioned a woman.

[Monark @MonarkTech]

When we think about someone in a position of power, like a CEO, we often assume they're a man, letting gender stereotypes guide our thinking. In the context of leadership, there's often a perceived match between men and leadership and mismatch between women and leadership.

[Monark @MonarkTech]

Becoming an inclusive leader is not a small task, but one well worth your time.

We're excited to become a part of leaders' first steps towards supporting a diverse workforce with the recent launch of our Embracing Diversity and Inclusion learning journey.https://t.co/33GJukKGD0
