The myopia of goals and how leaders can hurt/start to change when reflecting with… from @AnnieDuke

Feedback is not about sizing people up. It's about helping them grow. 78 studies: criticism is more motivating when you (a) meet face-to-face; (b) compare behavior to a standard, not to others; (c) suggest changes to make. People want to improve when it's clear that you care.

On the ground, a rock is just a rock. But when moving at high speed through the atmosphere, a rock becomes a meteor—alive with fire and burning bright. People are not so different. Without activity, we are lifeless and dull. When moving fast and taking action, we come alive.

"Simple mindset shifts: - I'm not hurt, I'm healing. - I'm not losing, I'm learning. - I was not rejected, I was redirected. Negative things happen. Negative mindsets make them harder." – @JamesClear

In this unique moment, we cannot move forward with relevance if we do not first deeply consider those “questions of larger purpose and collective well-being.” -@willrich45 rss.sd23.bc.ca/CLP/Our%20Inqu…

👇When we discuss dreams, we must mention how we’ll impact others and/or our world. Will the organizational mission focus on the individual or on the collective? 🤔

“We talk about high performing teams, yet so many businesses want to take those stories and try to make high performing individuals.” -@simonsinek “The most meaningful way to succeed is to help other people succeed.” -@AdamMGrant open.spotify.com/episode/0HHSgF…

My monthly reflection questions: 1. What were my biggest wins? 2. What were my biggest realizations? 3. What areas am I most satisfied? Least satisfied? 4. What am I going to do more of this month? Less of? 5. What am I thinking about for the upcoming month? Give it a try!

Publication of one's writing breaks down walls and allows learning to occur in a more collective environment, with people closest to the subject involved. ascd.org/el/articles/ge… via @ASCD

If you're always right, you're not learning. If you're never failing, you're not reaching. The objective is to be right. The objective is to succeed. But if you're always winning, you're undershooting your potential.

The true leader in a group is rarely the person who talks the most. It's usually the person who listens best. Listening is more than hearing what’s said. It’s noticing and surfacing what isn’t said. Inviting dissenting views and amplifying quiet voices are acts of leadership.

@RossCoops31 🔥! Some of these points led me to Jim Detert's Choosing Courage. It also reminded me of a chapter from @Econ_4_Everyone's The Voltage Effect about systems for voice/communication/decision-making where bandwagon biases and underlying beliefs are revealed and need to be addressed.
