Malcolm Gladwell's mother has sage advice for all leaders: Take spoil, make style. After a humiliating experience at a Munk Debate, Gladwell turned to his mother for guidance. Her response? "Take spoil, make style" - a Jamaican proverb akin to "making lemonade from lemons." Gladwell took this to heart. In his podcast, he openly dissected his failure, sharing his insights into why he lost the debate and how to improve. His transparency allowed us all to learn from his missteps. It's admirable to admit your failures. It's even better to transform them into learning opportunities for others. Take spoil, make style.

Are You a Great Leader? Many Realities Exist at The Same Time People who have trouble accepting and respecting this fact turn out to be poor leaders. They tend to speak more than they listen. But the greatest leaders know how to do this one thing. They’re able to feel the discomfort of holding opposing realities at the same time in the mind. Without reaction. Without fear. This discomfort is cognitive dissonance.

Last week we had a conversation on our Trust on Purpose podcast about what happens to trust when we don’t share things we know or believe to be true. The whole conversation was prompted by a quote by James Clear, who said “A truth unsaid can still be felt. What needs to be discussed but hasn't yet been said? Clear the air.” Here is a quick snippet from that episode. Have a listen and think about what you’re holding back. Can it be shared from a place of care for your relationship? Or what might someone else be holding back from you? What could be gained by asking to have a heart-to-heart?
