A McKinsey study found that gig workers are more engaged in their work—relishing the chance to be their own boss—to have more control over their working hours. #gigeconomy #gigs #contentcreators #gigworkers #creatoreconomy #creators

Building trusting teams, leading with just cause, and being existentially flexible are DIFFICULT and require passion to execute. Until the incentive structure at public companies change, wide-scale change will continue to be an uphill battle. @simonsinek #leadershipdevelopment

The most creative moments often occur in the middle of the weirdest wackiest things. @patricklencioni #creative #events #branding #creativity #storytelling #culture #inspiration #socialmedia #leadership #danger #innovation #improvisation #marketing #diversity #inclusion

Boundaries are the key to self-love & treating others with love & kindness. But, we aren't comfortable setting boundaries because we care more about what people will think & we don't want to disappoint anyone & we want everyone to like us. @BreneBrown #selflove #boundaries #care

Sometimes we end up shining brightest in our darkest moments. When the panic sets in, just remember- even if you can't see it, there is light at the end of the tunnel @simonsinek #leadership #inspiration #motivation #empathy #storytelling #inspirationalleader #silverlining #hope

Rational thinking is certainly an important skill; however, when it comes to decision-making, most of the work is done in the background. Sometimes, it's just about giving your brain the time and space to work through a problem. @simonsinek #work #learning #innovation #rational

Rules are necessary for any organization to function; however, circumstances are often complex. Leaders who rely on rules indiscriminately fail to account for important context in their decisions. @simonsinek #culture #rules #contextmatters #leadership #leaders #organizations

Core value is something we believe, we look at while we make decisions and what we promise. Core values are integral to what an organization is and an organization will not abandon its core value for any monetary benefit. @patricklencioni #corevalues #values #aim #goal #vision

The only way to get real commitment from people who don't agree is to make sure that everyone speaks up. @patricklencioni #leadership #socialmedia #people #success #marketing #leaders #culture #motivation #decisionmakers #decisionmaking #agree #consensus #commitment

We should not assume that a lack of motivation is an intrinsic problem. As leaders, we should first evaluate whether or not we've created an environment that inspires our employees. In order to spark motivation, people must feel seen and valued. @simonsinek #inspire #motivate
