Balance comes from care, not just hours. Great leaders pay attention to how their people are doing.

Kindness and niceness aren’t the same thing.

Niceness is the performance: the smile, the polite silence, the moment that keeps things comfortable. Kindness is the action, even when it’s awkward or hard.

Not everything kind feels good in the moment. But that’s often the point.

Great leaders play the long game.

Instead of needing to be the smartest voice in the room, they choose to create space for others to grow.

It is better to have a great team than a team of greats. The ability of a group of people to do remarkable things hinges on how well those people can pull together.

Being a leader isn’t about being in charge. 

Simon Sinek breaks down the difference between authority and leadership: one is given by title, the other is earned through trust and responsibility.

Leadership isn’t about being in charge — it’s about taking care of the people in your charge, helping them rise, and showing up for them consistently. When leaders lead with service, loyalty and trust follow naturally.

You’ll take away:
🧭 Leadership is service
🧠 Trust beats control
🤝 Safety drives loyalty

Comment SIMON and we’ll send you the full episode.

Three introverts walk into a bar and quickly run from it as fast as they can . . .

The three of us have so much fun together, but don’t back us into an unwanted social situation.

Thanks to @simonsinek for joining me and @adamgrant in Stockholm as our first guest on @thecuriosityshop. 

Questions to ponder? (alone or with others)
1. How do you think about your own introversion/extroversion, needs, restoration time, and nervous system regulation? 
2. Why aren’t we sharing our energy givers and takers with our teams? 

We’ve shared these lessons in our org and it’s led to more connection and grace.

To listen or watch episode 14 in full, head to YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Say "cheese" and you get a smile. Say "prune" and you get cheekbones.

A Bit of Optimism is taking a brief hiatus, and we'll be back with brand-new episodes in a few weeks. Until then, we're revisiting some of our favorite conversations, starting with one of the most fun we've ever had: @roblowe.

What I love about Rob is that he plays the game with a wink, and reminds us all to take the work seriously—just never too seriously.

A few months ago, our friend Simon Sinek visited our BW Papersystems location in Phillips, WI to record an episode of his A Bit of Optimism podcast with Barry-Wehmiller Chairman Bob Chapman.

It wasn’t the first time Simon had been to Phillips, WI, and for his podcast, Simon not only wanted to talk to his good friend Bob, but other BW teammates in Phillips, some he had met almost 15 years ago.

That episode of Simon’s podcast is out now. We highly encourage you to listen to it or watch the video version on You Tube, which is almost a mini documentary. You can find it at the link in our bio.

On this episode of our Truly Human Leadership podcast, we want to bring you something special. While in Phillips to record, Simon and Bob held a Town Hall for the team members there as a thank you and to recognize them for the inspiration they have been, not only to Simon but countless others.

This Town Hall is a great dialogue between Bob and Simon and it also includes a couple questions from the audience, including the high school aged son of one of our team members that is a big fan of Simon’s and was very excited to talk to him. Also, Simon and Bob talk about the 10th anniversary revised and expanded edition of Bob and Raj Sisodia’s book, Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family.

You can listen to this inspiring conversation through your favorite podcast provider or at trulyhumanleadership.com

Great leaders see and invest in employees as whole persons.
Which of these approaches can you try out this week?

Culture isn’t what you say you value, it’s how people behave. Values only work when they’re written as actions, not ideals. Reward the behavior, and the culture follows.

At one point, the most important people in our lives were strangers.

I asked psychotherapist Esther Perel (@estherperelofficial) for the one relationship skill we should all master, and her answer surprised me.

When’s the last time you started a conversation with someone you didn’t know?

Have you ever apologized and watched the tension in the room remain exactly the same? It turns out there is a right way to take accountability.

When we say, “I’m sorry,” on its own…those words can fall short. Without specificity, the other person doesn’t have anything to hold onto.

A real apology has two parts:
✔️ Owning up to what you actually did
✔️ The impact it had on the person

☀️ This summer, I’m teaming up with Lifeshop founder Alex Simon (@alex_____simon) for Feelings at Work—a special A Bit of Optimism miniseries exploring the emotional skills that shape how we work, lead, and connect with one another.
