There are hundreds of cognitive biases, but most of them stem from a failure to recognize that our beliefs are subject to biases. Defending our views stalls learning. Questioning them stimulates growth. The only belief worth cherishing is the belief that you might be wrong.

"Don't argue with the boss" is not a demand for respect. It's a sign of a fragile ego. Insecure leaders silence dissent to shield their self-esteem and save face. Secure leaders welcome critiques to improve their judgment. Being open to challenges is a prerequisite for growth.

Hey Magenta Peeps! I have a $100 TMoGear gift card that Mike Sievert gave me at the #ATLTownHall. I’d ❤️ for it to go to someone who needs more swag, but doesn’t really have the extra funds. If that’s you HMU 🫶🏻. My magic is a different color, but I still make it happen 😍! #TMH

When someone offers feedback you don't like, the ideal response isn't to ignore it. It's to seek more perspectives. One person's reaction is an opinion. If multiple people make the same point, it's a pattern. The best way to grow is to find the recurring signal in the noise.

Refusing to give up on a failing plan is not an act of resilience. It's a display of rigidity. Grit is not about persevering with a route that isn’t working. It’s about staying focused on a goal but flexible on the path. Healthy persistence requires peripheral vision.

On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. It’s to gain perspective. No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them. The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.

Don't confuse psychological safety with "safe spaces." Safe spaces treat people as fragile and dissenting ideas as threats. Psychologically safe environments build the capacity to embrace and learn from respectful disagreement. Exposure to diverging views is fuel for growth.

Giving back to the communities that were serve is a key priority for T-Mobile. This week I would like to thank Justine Garcia in our Jacksonville NC market for the role she played in supporting the Onslow County Public School bus drivers. You rock Justine!
