On #InternationalWomensDay and every other day, don't use words like 'empower' and 'celebrate'. Use words like 'hire', 'promote', 'pay', 'raise', 'bonus', 'fund', 'invest in', 'enrich', 'give equity', 'elect', 'lead' - & don't just say it, DO IT #IWD2021 #IWD #FundFemaleFounders

In toxic cultures, people get promoted for results even if they destroy relationships. Abuse is a price to pay for high performance. In healthy cultures, no level of individual excellence justifies undermining people. You’re not a high performer if you don't elevate others.

This is what happens when you don't have a single female creative on your team. youtube.com/watch?v=22dCbR…

More than burnout and pay, the Great Resignation is driven by toxic cultures. What makes a culture toxic: disrespectful, noninclusive, unethical, cutthroat, and abusive behaviors. If leaders don't take toxicity at least as seriously as performance, Houston, we have a problem.
