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.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Hiding weaknesses doesn't project strength. It reflects insecurity.

No matter how hard you try, people who know you well will see your flaws.

You might as well get credit for having the humility to look for them, the self-awareness to spot them, and the integrity to admit them.

Politeness is not the same as kindness.

Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.

In polite cultures, people withhold disagreement and criticism. In kind cultures, people speak their minds respectfully.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Expressing doubt doesn't always mean you lack confidence. It might be that you see nuance.

The presence of certainty can signal the absence of complexity. Conviction can crowd out careful consideration.

The person who talks tentatively has often done the deepest reflection.

@Bruxy 1. Genuine intent for good
2. Demonstrative (action-oriented)
3. Sacrificial (it will cost you something
4. Other-focused

@DanDoerksen Great reminder.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Authority doesn't grant us freedom from accountability.

Becoming a leader means holding ourselves to higher standards and expecting others to do the same.

[Shaun Funk @ShaunFunk]

This resonates! I'm happier, more content, present and productive when I'm intentional with my work AND leisure time.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A modern drag on happiness: time confetti.

Emails, texts, and social media are eating 10% of our free time—and fragmenting it into tiny pieces that we can't enjoy.

A simple solution: blocking out uninterrupted time for leisure, just like for deep work.

@DanDoerksen Thanks for sharing! I added a few of these to my "Want To Read" list!

[Shaun Funk @ShaunFunk]

@DanDoerksen @goodreads I've had the same question. I like the "Did not finish" shelf option so that it gets them off your too read and read list. I dont count them toward my book challenge total. Usually I make the decision to finish a book fairly early on...

'I have no time for that': Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister was dismissive of any talk of western separation. Here's the comparison he made. #cdnpoli #elxn43

Don’t fall for the lie that you will be generous one day when you have money. If you’re not generous now, you won’t be generous then.

Practice generosity with every dollar you receive and everything you have. Then if you ever have money or possessions, they won’t own you.

@desjykv So curious how she'll do against Serena!
