Value Proposition of Hybrid Work
There’s a lot of great info coming out of Gallup these days, and this article is no exception. This article makes a solid argument regarding the benefits of seeing one another in the office (and no, the answer isn’t unlimited snacks). The benefits are even presented with alliteration :).
Time’s Most 100 Influential People
There are some great names on this list and many folks I was pleased to learn about. One of the things I most enjoyed was that each synopsis was written by a friend or family member of the person featured. I particularly enjoyed Michael J. Fox’s profile, written by Ryan Reynolds.
Mount Ruang in Indonesia
Surprisingly, this photo wasn’t created in AI. This is a real photo (Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation/AFP via Getty Images) of Mount Ruang in Indonesia, a volcano that has erupted at least five this past week. Amid concerns that the lava belcher could partially collapse into the sea and cause a tsunami (which happened in 1871), authorities evacuated more than 11,000 people from the area and urged tourists to stay at least 3.7 miles away. Thankfully, no casualties were reported.
Read the Eyes Quiz
This quiz tests how well you can read emotions in people’s faces. I did better than I thought I would do, though it’s surprisingly difficult without seeing the rest of the face!
Words to wrap up
The difference between being liked and loved is the key leadership lesson. To be liked means giving in to those we lead, not having a standard to reach each day. Acceptance of mediocrity. Good becomes good enough.
Being loved requires everyone to understand that the quest for greatness requires sacrifice, doing the uncomfortable, a willingness to listen, being in search of constant ways to improve, and most of all, taking feedback as coaching, not criticism.
