Challenge from #PESummit Day 3:
Take your phone or computer now, and send a message of thanks to someone in your life.

#Gratitude can help protect us from #burnout, so make space for it in your day!

It's nice to be needed, but it's healthier to be valued.

Being needed creates dependence: people are helpless without us, so it becomes difficult to say no.

Being valued maintains independence: there's no pressure to say yes. Helping becomes a choice, not a chore.

💯 This - so often I see people concerned with teamwork & engagement, but they haven't providers the basic components of a team!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Putting people in a group doesn’t make them a team.

A team is a collection of people with a shared identity who collaborate to achieve a common mission. Each member makes a unique contribution.

Turning a group into a team starts with clarifying core values, goals, and roles.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The best feature of Zoom meetings isn’t seeing people’s faces. It’s reading their comments in the chat.

When people write down their independent insights before discussing, we get more diversity of thought.

The loudest voice rarely has the best ideas.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Call your representatives today and demand they pass the #FamiliesFirst coronavirus bill. It contains:

- Free testing
- 14 days paid sick leave
- 3 months paid family leave
- Expanded unemployment insurance & food security
- Medicaid funds

Lives are on the line. [phone]

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Diversity often makes us uncomfortable. That’s one of the reasons it has value.

Discomfort motivates us to think more deeply, prepare more carefully, and explain ourselves more thoroughly.

RIP Kathy Phillips—a groundbreaking scholar and a great person.

@schmonz @mattbarcomb One of my pet peeves! If I truly don't have a say in the outcome at all, don't ask for my feedback!

[Lauren Wyeth @Xoh]

@mattbarcomb @JulieThinx Hi Julie! Happy to chat - been working in hospitals doing process improvement (and therefore a fair amount of related leadership coaching/dev) the past 5 years - seen groups both very good & very bad at the list above :)

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Greatness is something you pursue, not something you achieve.

It starts with holding your present self to higher standards than your past self.

You don't get to lower the bar once you've made it. The higher you climb, the more responsible you are for continuing to raise it.

[Lauren Wyeth @Xoh]

How can you expect others to exhibit behaviors if you yourself don't have the discipline or adequate processes/environment to do so?

[Helen Zak @helenzak]

Leaders need to be role models for the organization! @ValueCapture1

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Our companies and countries need leaders who are givers, not takers.

Takers demand attention. Givers pay attention.

Takers brag about success. Givers take responsibility for failure.

Takers aim to be better than others. Givers strive to do better for others.

After women get promoted to CEO, they’re 2x as likely as men to get divorced.

Apparently one of the reasons is male ego.

Hey men: when the women you love succeed, it's not a threat to your status. It's a cause for celebration.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When everyone wants to be the smartest person in the room, teams become dumb and dumber.

When people strive to raise the intelligence in the room, teams become smarter.

Surround yourself with people who focus more on improving others than proving themselves.

1. Be a collaborator, not an opponent.
2. Speak human to human.
3. Anticipate reactions and plan countermoves.
4. Replace blame with curiosity.
5. Ask for feedback on how you communicate.
6. Measure psychological safety.
