Heard from VC LPs this past week (a version of this in 3 different meetings):

“We are really skeptical of any staff working remotely or part time in the office. The best companies, best people and best ideas will not be found sitting alone in your house”

So true.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you.

Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today.

Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow.

Candor is an act of care.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In toxic cultures, time off is a reward earned by working to exhaustion. Burnout is proof of commitment, and vacations are required to recover.

In healthy cultures, time off is a right granted to everyone. Well-being is a top priority, and vacations are encouraged to rejuvenate.
