Thank you Mark C. Crowley . This gets it exactly right. In my programs I advocate using the language of excellence rather than perfection. You’ve added a key dimension. Perfectionism has an entirely different aim.

Do you have any #rituals in your #work or personal life that you've found to be really meaningful?

Please share one or more -- & how they work for you.

Full disclosure, my next #podcast guest (posting Saturday) just wrote a bestseller on rituals & why they're so powerful!

I'm publishing my next newsletter tomorrow -- if you'd like to receive it, please sign up here!

Saul Perlmutter is the first Nobel Prize winner ever to be on my podcast.
Plz don't mis our conversation on his bestseller 'Third Millennium Thinking: Creating Sense in a World of Nonsense'
He explains how to make the best decisions in life & #leadership !

Southwest Airlines just agreed to give its flight attendants a 22% raise (33% over next 4 years) making them the highest paid in the industry.
The Org says the job became far more difficult during COVID largely because of the emergence of rude & disruptive passengers.

During the Great Resignation people who quit had many reasons, often that another employer induced them with a big pay raise.
Now, people who quit only get 4% more pay compared to workers who stay put.
So, when people quit today, it's to flee bad #leadership , not to get more $.

Mark C. Crowley Well said, although a lot of it seems internally driven rather than concern about being judged. This is especially the case with those on the autism spectrum.

Employee #engagement is a metric few Orgs ever took seriously or took meaningful actions to improve.
Clearly, this won't change.
But I believe Orgs will soon measure employee #wellbeing & will also take their scores very seriously.
Workplace #leadership will be forced to change.

Chief Pulse Taker Might Define Her Role Better:

Software firm Intuit (TurboTax/Quickbooks) now has a 'Head Of Employee Listening'
The HOEL leads a team that tracks how workers are 'feeling, exactly what they should be measuring to create a great #workplace #culture .

My money's on Gen-Z!
What's gonna make #workplace leaders become more caring & supportive?
A study by Handshake finds incoming workers care less about brand recognition & more about their bosses’ character.
75% prefer to read an Org's employee reviews before applying.

Perfectionism is not driven by a healthy striving for excellence as much as it’s an effort to avoid the negative judgment of others.
The antidote is to become really self-secure.

What do Gen-Z college graduates want more than anything when applying for a job?
The same thing many orgs are showing they won't provide:

Per Fortune, job stability is the most important factor. Surprisingly, only 46% say
having a hybrid #work schedule matters.

Whatever your brand yourself to be externally, you must be & live internally.

No alignment, no long term success.

It's far more thoughtful for a manager to send a message saying, 'Tom, can we chat today before you leave, because I want to go over some things before I go on vacation' than to simply say, 'Tom, can we chat today before you leave?'
People panic when unsure why you want 2C them.

Mark C. Crowley The more you give the more you get. Works both ways!

Mark C. Crowley Also- how about requiring advance agendas so everyone knows what the point is and can be prepared to contribute something meaningful?

Mark C. Crowley I once heard a corporate head, looking out over the employee parking lot of people who actually risked their lives daily in their work, say, “There are too many new cars!” He proceeded to fix the “problem”. And yes, that is so very wrong.
