So today, in true behaviorist form, I act opposite, do it anyway, expose myself to the feared stimulus, and sit with the discomfort of sharing that, indeed: my name appeared in The. New. York. Times.

Hey managers: to keep your people, let them work from home 2 days a week.

-Increased satisfaction
-Reduced quitting by 33% (especially for women & long commuters)
-No costs for performance or promotion rates

It’s often overlooked that MLK’s dream was divisive in his day.

Resistance is not a signal of failure. It’s often a clue that you’re ahead of your time. Visions for change elicit opposition from defenders of the status quo.

Rocking the boat is a precursor to progress.

Life is short.

And if life is short, then moving quickly matters. Launch the product. Write the book. Ask the question. Take the chance.

Be thoughtful, but get moving.
