Bosses who insult and intimidate don't get results. They leave people scarred.
Data: when NBA players have abusive coaches, they play more poorly for the rest of their careers—and commit more technical fouls.
Weak leaders make people weaker. Strong leaders make people stronger.

Apart from valuations coming down, life hasn't really changed for pre-seed/seed investors.
We need to continue to take risks, get paid for the risks we take, and bet on unproven founders with crazy ideas.
We have to stay optimistic and a little insane.

Are you able to share your full, authentic self at work?
Those who do tend to:
1️⃣ Build more meaningful relationships
2️⃣ Experience less stress
3️⃣ Experience higher levels of engagement
4️⃣ Pursue opportunities for career advancement
5️⃣ Bring out authenticity in team members
Monark's Leadership App explores this concept of the self alongside other key concepts such as different types of identity and the importance of intersectionality.

Picture a CEO 💭
...
Who did you envision?
When Plan International Canada surveyed thousands of Canadian youth, they found that only 10% envisioned a woman.
When we think about someone in a position of power, like a CEO, we often assume they're a man, letting gender stereotypes guide our thinking. In the context of leadership, there's often a perceived match between men and leadership and mismatch between women and leadership.
So how do you make these stereotypes go away? (Hint: it takes more than just stereotype reduction training)
Check out the Monark leadership app to learn how you can foster an inclusive workplace for all. apps.apple.com/app/id1589783…
