Mature companies fail because they forget why they were born.

GOOD NEWS: There are summer meal programs all over the state. One text to 304-304 will return a list of options nearby where anyone under 18 can get a meal. Many sites include breakfast as well. Please help spread the word so that no child goes hungry this summer! #NoKidHungry

To all the companies calling people back to the office full-time: Don't mistake presence for performance.

Showing up is not a sign of commitment or contribution. It's an act of compliance.

What matters is the value people create, not the place they inhabit.

Creating something new is easy.
Creating something that can last is the challenge.

On this Memorial Day, let us remember that true leadership means placing the needs of others above our own.

We honor the brave men and women of the military who have selflessly served our nation. Thank you for your sacrifice.

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

Trust has two dimensions: competence and integrity. We can forgive mistakes of competence. Mistakes of integrity are harder to overcome.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Your work does not define your worth.

A career is what you do—it doesn’t have to reflect who you are. Making a job part of your identity is an option, not an obligation.

Your impact in the world doesn’t depend on how you make a living. It derives from how you live your values.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Blaming and shaming doesn't stop people from making mistakes. It stops them from admitting mistakes.

If people can't share their blunders, they can't learn from them—and neither can the rest of us.

The best way to prevent errors is to make it safe for people to discuss them.

If we want people to talk to us more, we should start by listening more.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We miss out on opportunities when we only ask what could go wrong. It's also worth asking what could go right.

Change carries risk: we might fail. But sticking to the status quo also brings risk: we might fail to grow.

It's better to test and learn than to never test at all.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

True commitment to work-life balance is giving people permission to take other priorities as seriously as their jobs.

In burnout cultures, people are expected to drop everything for work. In healthy cultures, people are encouraged to protect time for family, health, and leisure.
