Getting feedback is so hard because it strikes at the tension between two core human needs: the need to learn and grow, and the need to be accepted just the way you are. s.hbr.org/2BiyWJc

Leadership is about LOVING the people. It shows up as LISTENING to the people and WALKING a mile in their shoes. It's a start.
Across parts of America, police and protesters have been clashing. In Flint, Michigan, something else happened. This is the exact moment when Sheriff Chris Swanson put down his helmet and baton — and joined protesters on their march.

To make remote teams more effective: (1) Stack meetings back-to-back to protect time for deep work (2) Set up office hours so people know when you're free for unscheduled chats (3) Use a digital bulletin board so you can see what everyone is working on newyorker.com/culture/annals…

I wrote this book for this moment, for this moment to become a movement, for the movement to transform us as we transform this country. Thank you to the folks reading + recommending #HowToBeAnAntiracist. Use it as springboard into antiracist action. Justice needs you, all of you.
