[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

I was flying Southwest from Dallas to New York. Three rows ahead of me, there was a young soldier in uniform. He looked barely 18. He was staring straight ahead, gripping the armrests. He looked nervous. When the drink cart came around, the flight attendant asked him what he wanted. 'Coke, please,' he said. 'Heading home?' she asked kindly. 'No, ma'am,' he said. 'Deploying. First time.' The whole row went quiet. The flight attendant didn't say a word. she handed him his Coke. Then, she got on the PA system. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest in Row 8 today. Private Miller is on his first deployment to serve our country. Since I can't buy him a drink, I’m going to ask a favor. If you want to write him a note of encouragement, pass it forward.' I grabbed a napkin. I wrote: 'You got this. Stay safe. - A dad from Row 12.' I watched as napkins traveled up the aisle. Napkins, receipts, pages torn from books. By the time we landed, the soldier had a pile of paper on his tray table three inches high. He stood up to get his bag, and he was wiping his eyes. He carefully packed every single scrap of paper into his rucksack. 'Thank you,' he told the flight attendant. 'No,' she said. 'Thank you.' We all walked off that plane a little quieter, reminded that freedom is just a word until you meet the kid who is defending it.

The article identified a number of evidence-based approaches to building your self-awareness.

[Andy Noon, PhD @andynoonphd]

Less than 15% of leaders are truly self-aware.

What leaders say telegraph what they value. Leaders who use these phrases communicate that you do not matter. If you hear these words, it is time to go.

@overmind01 I love this statement. It is similar to a Walt Disney quote that I like - "I like the impossible, there is less competition there."

[Andy Noon, PhD @andynoonphd]

@LollyDaskal Also, only rewarding successes can also breed a culture of individualism, ethical issues, and toxicity. The balanced culture of performance and learning is always best.

@IAmClintMurphy Writing X posts I could not get to during the week 😆

[Andy Noon, PhD @andynoonphd]

@gvanourek I like your statement "what we think other people think." Sometimes we create our own stories about what others think of us that are just not true. These untrue stories paralyze us from moving forward.

[Andy Noon, PhD @andynoonphd]

My X feed is full of posts championing the importance of leadership. We know effective leadership!

Yet, we overlook critical leader qualities like vision, humility, and character when choosing political candidates (both parties).

Why do we do this? 🫤
