Lead from Within

These insecurities can manifest in many ways, such as self-doubt, fear of failure, and a lack of trust in one’s abilities. If left unchecked, these insecurities can negatively impact a leader’s performance and the team they lead.

Baseball player Lefty Gomez famously said that he’d rather be lucky than good, yet as a society we still tend to downplay the role luck plays in success, instead preferring to apportion success down to hard work and aptitude. It’s a debate that has intensified as income inequality has risen throughout the world.

It is a common misconception that work culture is bound to the walls of an office - that it’s created by providing fancy coffee or hosting weekly happy hours. Work culture is so much more than that. It’s that thing you feel every day when you walk into the office, log into your computer, or sit in a meeting that makes you want to be there - or not, in the case of toxic work environments.

Lots of variables influence our day-to-day decision making — though perhaps none more potently than the attitudes and preferences of other people. The human instinct to seek belonging with others helps us collaborate and build systems and societies. But it also gives ill-intentioned people an opening to mislead, lull, and even coerce us into serving their interests instead of our own.
