I think this article is excellent--and as we lead, develop, and learn from Gen Z. Mark C. Perna (MarkCPerna.com) is typically on point. Enjoy. https://lnkd.in/efEiuM6F

‘People need to be seen, heard and valued to have the desire to grow.’ Marcia Reynolds. Can you spend time reflecting on the following? 💕 Who can you choose to see, hear and value? 💕 How do you need to be seen, heard and valued? In which ways will both of these encourage growth?

Interesting juxtaposition in The Walrus today An article by Samia Madwar in the May issue about toxic workplaces: “Danger: Your Job.” The online publication today of Justin Ling’s interview with the PM: “Justin Trudeau’s Last Stand” Both are worth reading if you’re interested in work and politics. Excerpt from the first: One could argue, for example, that professional hierarchies — often built on the conceit that promotions and advancements are merit based — provide a convenient facade for some of humanity’s worst impulses. Favouritism and nepotism can reward the undeserving, and discriminatory attitudes among those in power can hold back genuine hard work and talent. Inflated egos among some of those who rise through the ranks might drive them to mistreat those below them. There’s even handy business jargon that attempts to justify the inequity — say, for example, the concept of “managing up,” whereby employees are meant to, in essence, babysit incompetent or moody supervisors. https://lnkd.in/eTe28FbU Excerpt from the second: “I’d actually contend that if that’s the impression you’re getting,” (Trudeau) says, referring to the idea that he is increasingly remote from voters, “then people are successfully casting that impression.” This is perhaps the most unreal moment of the whole interview. Observing this government from its unlikely beginnings to its probable—if the trend maintains—end, it strikes me that there is only one solution ahead of them: accept reality. https://lnkd.in/e2GqMms4

It's telling to see leaders like Trump and Vance actively engage in open dialogue, welcoming conversations with anyone willing to engage. This stands in stark contrast to figures like Harris and Watz, who shy away from even a single media interview. Those who have created, built, and faced scrutiny understand the joy and fulfillment that comes from putting their ideas to the test. They know that true growth comes from facing challenges head-on, not from avoiding them. On the other hand, those who merely exist, following the path of least resistance, miss out on this profound sense of accomplishment. By simply walking in line, they deny themselves the richness of a life lived fully—one where they could be more than just sheep following the crowd. True joy is reserved for those willing to step out of the shadows and face the world with courage and conviction. For America to be a home where people truly thrive and a beacon of light to the world, we must have fearless leaders who embody these very characteristics. Leaders like Trump and Vance, who engage in open dialogue and welcome scrutiny, are the ones who push our nation forward. They understand that the strength of a society lies in its willingness to challenge ideas, not shy away from them. In contrast, those who avoid the spotlight and refuse to engage deprive themselves—and the nation—of the joy and progress that comes from robust debate and principled action. To maintain America’s legacy as a land of opportunity and freedom, we need leaders who are unafraid to stand up, speak out, and lead with unwavering determination.

The intangibles are a 1000x more valuable then the tangibles.

The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan literally re-wired my brain in a way I can still recognize today, 5 years after my initial read. I just re-read it at the beginning of this year. Quote that inspires you? “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.” – Marianne Williamson Cats or dogs? Dog 😊 Any other fun facts you’d like to share? I have a 4-year-old son and an almost-2-year-old daughter who are two of the most inspirational influences in my life along with my husband whom I've had the pleasure of sharing over 15 years of my life with.
