Too many things to put in a small bio. Opinions are my own, and sometimes awesome.

@MFairman216 Major issues

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Leaders: How much should I pay my employees?
Data: More.

Under financial scarcity, people are less productive—and score 13% worse on IQ tests.

Raise their salary, and they work harder and smarter to earn it. When people feel valued, they add value.

Spending all afternoon thinking about the conversation between @AdamMGrant and @Gladwell in #Think2021. Is Malcolm old school in his need for face-to-face? Is this his hierarchy versus my network preference? 🤔

[Marcie Long @SnarkyMarcie]

@AdamMGrant 💯I’m anxious for some things that I have done repeatedly for years because I still have care, passion, and desire for it to go well.

Inspiration is that spark inside of us that's present all the time. It's fueled by our idealism and the love of our family, friends, and co-workers.

This clip is from a conversation at the Orange Conference with founder and CEO Reggie Joiner.

You don’t have to agree with every idea in a book, article, or podcast to recommend it.

Sometimes the ideas that challenge our thinking are the ones that teach us the most.

The point of learning is not to affirm our beliefs. It's to evolve our beliefs.

"You were trying to..." began no constructive criticism ever.

We can't know other people's intentions.

Instead of judging their motives, what if we asked them to explain their motives?

"I'd love to understand your thinking better. I'm curious: what were you trying to achieve?"

This is what compassionate leadership looks like

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In remote work, we don't need micromanagers.

We need macromanagers to highlight our contribution to the team and reinforce the broader purpose of our work.

One of the most meaningful parts of a manager's job is making other people's jobs more meaningful.

"How are you?" rarely starts a meaningful conversation.

It prompts us to summarize our emotions instead of sharing the stories and insights behind them.

We're better off asking about experiences:

What surprised you this month?
Biggest blooper?
Silver linings?

#WednesdayWisdom

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Attention micromanagers: if you can’t trust people to work from home, you…

(a) Probably shouldn’t have hired them in the first place
(b) Haven’t done a good job motivating them
(c) Might be projecting your own work habits onto them
(d) All of the above

I’m doing a live-streamed conversation w my Pushkin cofounder Jacob Weisberg on April 30th to support the 92 Street Y. We’re going to talk about the new season of RH!! Join us! https://t.co/Bl6zoK7KT6

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

During the loneliest week of my life, I made a list of the people who mattered most to me.

Then I wrote them each a note about what I appreciated most about them.

Voicing the unspoken can remind us we're not alone—and
strengthen our connections.
