Inspiring Reflection | Transformational Leader Exploring Who We Are in the Digital Age
People create anxiety, so they can make money selling books and gain YouTube audiences. I recently read a book and came across a movement called the Second Brain. Basically, it says take notes. Notes are helpful, and you can come back to things. That was something most people learned in high school when they had to write their first paper. Then, I discovered hundreds, if not thousands, of articles on different types of note-taking. Suggestion: There is no perfect note-taking system except the one that works for you. If you have an idea, write it down. If you are reading or listening to something, read or hear something you like, take a moment to write it down. It doesn't have to be any more complex than that. Some people need extensive knowledge management systems, but most of us don’t. Take the simple route and just start and stop worrying.
Polarization is everywhere we look. Increasingly, these polarized conversations are spilling over into the workplace. That makes learning how to navigate difficult workplace conversations more critical than ever. The Aspen Institute’s Citizenship and American Identity Program's Better Arguments Project offers essential resources to help managers and leaders engage in productive dialogues. By embracing the principles of listening, storytelling, and respect, the Better Arguments Project empowers team members, managers, leaders, and others to foster a workplace of understanding and collaboration. Learning to have difficult conversations can transform into opportunities for growth and unity. Enhance your leadership skills and build a more cohesive team.
