    Success is not about competition-- it's about contribution. My new on givers and takers:

  2. Along with intellectual curiosity, we need interpersonal curiosity. Taking an interest in other people is the beginning of empathy. :

    When asking for help, don't say "I'm sorry to bother you" or "I'm uncomfortable asking." That frames it as a burden. Instead, just lead with respect and appreciation: "I know how busy you are, but I would be so grateful..." :

    A bully is not an alpha male. Yes, to become the alpha, you need to demonstrate strength. But to keep your alpha status, it's best to be generous. Great leaders don't demand allegiance through intimidation. They earn respect through kindness and empathy.

    Hey Silicon Valley, it's time to start betting on older entrepreneurs. New study: 40-year-olds are 2.1x as likely as 25-year-olds to found a successful startup, and 1.3x as likely to found a startup in the top 0.1%.

    Startups with female founders get less funding but generate more revenue. More evidence that investing in women isn't just the right thing to do—it's the smart thing to do.

    “Follow your passion” is bad advice: it leads to tunnel vision, discouraging us from exploring new areas. Passion isn’t a fixed interest waiting to be discovered. It’s something to develop and cultivate.

    To boost your emotional intelligence, use a broader vocabulary of emotion words. People who distinguish thrilled and inspired or aggravated and envious are more flexible in managing their emotions and less likely to retaliate aggressively against others.

    You have a suggestion box, but you really need a problem box: a place where people can raise important concerns and criticisms even if they don’t have the solution. It doesn’t take a tailor to notice when the emperor has no clothes.

    After receiving help, don't say "I owe you a favor." It reduces an act of kindness to an accounting transaction. Instead of offering to repay a debt, signal a willingness to be generous: "Let me know if I can ever be helpful" or "I stand ready to pay it forward."

    The more you focus on building a personal brand, the less authentic you appear. Toothpaste has a brand; it’s packaged and neat. People don’t have brands—they’re real and messy.

    Don't let your workplace become a cultural museum. Culture fit is a recipe for groupthink—it weeds out diversity of thought. Hire, reward, and promote cultural contributors: the misfits, original thinkers, and disagreeable givers who stretch and enrich the culture.

    It’s nice to have the right skills on the bus, but it’s critical to keep the wrong values off the bus. Values aren’t visible on a resume. They’re revealed in the choices we make: speak up or stay silent, take responsibility or make excuses, lift others up or cut them down

    Great leaders don't manage by walking around. They manage by doing: spending some time each month doing the actual work of their teams. It helps them understand what's going on and signals that they're not above it.

    We've known since the 1950s that separating children from their parents is traumatizing. In the 1980s the government shut down "cruel" studies of maternal deprivation with monkeys. How much more evidence do we need before we stop doing this to children?

    A manager's first responsibility with new hires: meet one-on-one with them in their first week. They become more central players in larger networks, have more productive meetings, and collaborate more.

    5 new studies: meditation can make us more focused but less motivated. Meditating is like taking a mental nap: it brings calm and acceptance, which can interfere with eagerness and a sense of urgency to change the status quo.

    Conferences are full of bad panels. My guidelines for making them better: (a) Invite a small group of people who know each other and complement each other (b) Have them keep comments short and jump in frequently (c) Ask for stories and surprising insights

    To champion change, you don't need to get the majority of a group on board. A new experiment suggests that converting 25% can be a critical mass to create momentum and change minds.

    Your first reaction to criticism is rarely your best one. People who take days or weeks to process feedback benefit more from it. :
