Loved this!
@KyleBrandt asked Aaron Rodgers for the secret sauce in relating to his #Jets teammates in the locker room, some of which are half his age:
‘I think it’s the remembering that you have two ears & one mouth. You should listen twice as much as you speak.’

In 1971, a group of college students volunteered for a psychology study of prison life at Stanford University. They were randomly assigned to be either guards or prisoners in a mock prison. What they didn't know was that the experiment would turn into a nightmare.
The guards became abusive and sadistic, humiliating and torturing the prisoners. The prisoners became depressed and hopeless, losing their sense of identity and reality. The experimenters watched and recorded the events, but did nothing to stop them.
The experiment was supposed to last two weeks, but it was terminated after only six days, when an outsider witnessed the horror and confronted the lead researcher, Philip Zimbardo. He realized that he had created a monster, and that he had become one himself.
The Stanford prison experiment revealed the dark side of human nature, and the power of situations to influence behavior.
One of Monty Williams’ mantras is, “I’m not calling you out, I’m calling you up.”
Think of accountability as being called up, not out. If someone is holding you accountable, it’s because they know you’re capable of more.
Accountability is not done to you, it’s done for you.
