We all need to take a moment to remind ourselves that the average social media user doesn't open an app to see content from brands.

At best, brands are guests in users' social feeds.

At worst, they are intruders.

And I think it's important that we as marketers remember that.

Right on brand 🤣🤣🤣

Welp, @twitter name so coming off the building right now but @elonmusk didn’t get permit for the equipment on the street so @SFPD is shutting it down.

Other people's expectations are not your obligations.

Responsibilities are commitments you choose to make. Upholding them is a key to taking care of others.

Expectations are pressures others impose on you. Rejecting them is often necessary to take care of yourself.

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

The best leaders are also the best followers.
They follow a purpose, cause, or belief bigger than themselves.

Leo Messi reminds us to celebrate our passions. To thank him, we gathered some of the next generation of ‘Leo’s’ for a special surprise.

You can see what happens next. @ChampionsLeague

[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]

Time in meetings has more than tripled since Feb 2020. Nearly a third of meetings are unnecessary—wasting $25M a year for every 1k people.

There are 4 reasons to meet: to decide, learn, bond, and do. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cancel it.

Really good.

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

The Great Resignation is looking more like a structural labor shift rather than an episodic one. New data outlines strategies hiring managers will need to successfully navigate the imbalance in labor supply and demand.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's a mistake to unfollow people for disagreeing with your views. The voices that challenge your opinions often sharpen your thinking.

The cue to stop listening is not dissent—it's disrespect.

Tuning out trolls and tuning into thoughtful critics is how you keep an open mind.

Sen. Patty Murray on Tuesday: ‘Wake up. Every single person, in every single state, needs to realize this impacts you, your choices, and your rights. It’s not happening to someone else in some other state … The highest court in the land is preparing to rip away your rights.’

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Often, it’s easy to “call out” people when we notice their microaggressions or biases. But it’s challenging to recognize and acknowledge these behaviors in ourselves. https://t.co/lPFMCfLTFd
