Mom and Me, as Avi gets ready for her first horseback ride on Junebug. I spend a lot of time talking to leaders today about the importance of being authentic, and saying what needs to be said.

*Author’s Note: See what I did there? . There’s been a lot written about the challenges of being an introvert in a workplace that tends to value the behaviors of extroverts ( see: Susan Cain ). From open floor plan workspaces to “collaborative” work styles (e.g., we all sit in a room and stare at the same document until magic somehow occurs), to a belief that you must speak up in meetings or you’re not adding value – the preferred work style of introverts see

Modern medicine’s true healing potential depends on a resource that is being systematically depleted: the time and capacity to truly listen to patients, hear their stories, and learn not only what’s the matter with them but also what matters to them.

When confronting an abusive supervisor, employees often assume they have two choices: confrontation or avoidance. But our research , forthcoming in the Academy of Management Journal , suggests a third option: Targets of abuse can flip the script, shifting the balance of power in their favor when bosses make life miserable.
