When we feel stress our bodies release cortisol. Cortisol impairs rational thinking & decision making. In a toxic culture we are biologically more likely to make a bad decision or do something that is ethically questionable. Healthy corporate cultures matter #goodleadership

Great teachers see the joy, excitement & optimism students bring into their rooms each fall & use it to catapult their classroom culture to amazing places. Others squash it because it's too noisy or not in the lesson plan for today. Who will you be? #makeitreal #thursdaythoughts
