Hey CEOs: When people don’t want to work long hours, it doesn’t mean they’re lazy. It means they have lives beyond work. A team delivering 40 hours of excellence is worth more than one offering 50 of mediocrity. What counts is the value people create, not the time they put in.

Seeing the good in others is not about denying their shortcomings. It’s about appreciating their strengths. Everyone has virtues and vices. It’s better to look for the best in people and be occasionally disappointed than to assume the worst and be consistently closed off.

How to give feedback without being a jerk: 1. Be a coach, not a critic. Aim to help, not attack. 2. Don't assert opinion as fact. You're sharing your subjective reaction, not the objective truth. 3. Be honest, not brutal. Be direct in what you say, but kind in how you say it.

Ft. Worth @MayorMattie says the Rangers called her & suggested a ceremony at City Hall. “I said, ‘That’s boring. The fans deserve to see this amazing trophy in person because this is our team.’”

The best way to open people's minds isn't to argue with them. It's to listen to them. When people feel understood, they become less defensive and more reflective—and develop less extreme, more nuanced views. Productive disagreements begin with curiosity, not persuasion.
