People don’t blindly perpetuate toxic leadership. They emulate it when they lack concern for others.
Data: after having an abusive boss, people who prized kindness broke the cycle. Those who idealized selfishness didn't.
The role models we choose are a reflection of our values.

When considering a new role, the most important question isn't "can I do it?" It's "do I want it?"
It's up to the employer to decide whether you're qualified. Only you can gauge whether you're motivated.
Values should align with the job. Skills can be learned on the job.

Just read 'The Future We Choose.' Interesting #climate calls to action and question at the end... What would I need to do in order to reduce GHGs in my life by 50% by 2030, and to be #NetZero by 2050? (Acknowledging systems change needed too). penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

5th graders are talking about assumptions. This class in particular went deep.

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.
I have the privilege today of working with some of the amazing women in the Secretariat supporting Canada’s #NetZero Advisory Body. #InternationalWomensDay #EmbraceEquity #ECCCfamily

Being professional is upholding high standards in low moments.
It's caring to do a good job even in jobs we don't love; treat others with respect even if we're disrespected; and do right even if we're wronged.
We earn trust by refusing to compromise on competence or character.

The joy of leadership comes from seeing others achieve more than they thought they were capable of.

It's not ambition that holds women back. They're punished for violating gender stereotypes as warm & submissive.
Data: ambitious men and women get promoted. Aggressive women are penalized more than men.
End the double standard: if you accept it in men, don't reject it in women.
