In Syria, Covid-19 cases are doubling. Hospitals run out of oxygen and ventilators. Meanwhile, Australian anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists are safe because the vast majority of us are getting jabbed. The entitlement and ignorance are infuriating.

Fascinating conversation following up on Merve Emre’s eloquent critique of emotional intelligence. Particularly loved it when @AdamMGrant suggested we should “ban psychological solutions to organisational problems” https://t.co/uW79mEWN4x

Myers Briggs, it's all BS as @anthilemoon brilliantly explains.

I love both Adam’s article on languishing and Austin’s take on dormancy (and the truth that once we name something we see it everywhere) Reminds me of the encouragement from @JoKadlecek last year that we were fallowing - just waiting for the planting.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Not everyone who isn't flourishing is languishing.

@austinkleon makes a compelling case that some of us are dormant, like a volcano waiting to be activated.

I agree that we shouldn't expect to flourish in bad conditions, but I think it's worth trying.

A beautifully written and important critique of Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence: “some of the most alluring and quietly repressive ideas in recent history”.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Too many companies offer emotional intelligence training when they should be asking why people are so stressed in the first place.

You can't heal a sick culture with individual bandages.

Try ditching abusive bosses and oppressive rules.

Yep

I’ve been saying we need to talk more about cultural differences within the USA for the sake of non-US colleagues serving cross-culturally. But I’ve hit a lot of resistance - maybe this honor-shame language would hit a missiological cord. https://t.co/BD0tocgg2A

It's not psychological safety if people can only voice what you want to hear.

The goal is not to be comfortable. It's to create a climate where people can speak up without fear.

Psychological safety begins with admitting our own mistakes and welcoming criticism from others.

“Past research on the topic of organizational and social paranoia shows that working from home may exacerbate uncertainty about status, which can lead to over-processing information and rumination.” Some great examples here if that at play in the remote reality.

Remote work can contribute to “feeling out of the loop, because you’re missing the kinds of ad hoc conversations that tend to reassure us we’re in good standing.” –Professor Rod Kramer https://t.co/KHGKzmgEbj

Beautiful and important.

@jay_matenga Yes! Having transitioned out of a ministry run by a former banker that was obsessed with trying to scale and replicate, I’m excited about doing things that are smaller and deeper and more contextualised.

Such a beautiful reflection on this strange time:
“The place God is calling me to is not a far-off, quiet ideal but the noisy moment I’m in.”

[Jessica Hooten Wilson @HootenWilson]

“In this housebound cacophony of Covidtide, God waits to meet us. We still of course need times of solitude and silence, but we also must learn to look for God amid the noise and the crowds in our own living rooms.” Thank you, ⁦@Tish_H_Warren⁩ https://t.co/H28yzpEhWh
