ALT Statement from MARTA Board of Directors Chairwoman Rita Scott on the passing of MARTA General Manager & CEO Jeffrey Parker. The MARTA Board of Directors grieves the shocking death of our GM/CEO Jeff Parker who has died by suicide. He was an outstanding leader and steward of MARTA whose passing leaves us all heartbroken. As Chairwoman and on behalf of my fellow MARTA board members, we are devastated at this loss as we valued Jeff’s leadership and looked forward to him bringing his vision for transit to fruition. The entire metro Atlanta region owes him a debt of gratitude for his transformational efforts and we will not stop working to build on the foundation he created. As we struggle to understand the complexity of this tragedy, we grieve with and for his wife Erin, his daughters and all of Jeff’s family and friends as well as his MARTA family. As we continue to grieve, we want you to know that suicide is preventable and help is available to you.

My biological dad was a drug addict and abused my mother. 12 years ago, my stepdad brought the light into our world again. He’s loved us as his own. So we decided to change our last name to his. 💛 teapawt.net/jialaurenxo/status/114… teapawt.net/jialaurenxo/status/114…

Gaining followers doesn't make you a leader. It just means you've captured attention.
Leadership is the art of uniting individuals to achieve a collective goal.
Great leadership is the art of elevating a group to achieve a worthy goal.

@carlaannharris “Fear has no place in your success equation... Call a failure a failure, don’t leave it unsaid.” Applaud the courage in trying and cull the learning. Investment banker @MorganStanley and gospel singer. Authenticity=bringing both to the pitch room
With @compasstechgrp today at #leadercast @AndyStanley kicking off the world’s largest leadership event #HealthyTeams in focus.
Leaders, what one thing should you "power up" in your presence and how you come across, so others know that you're the expert in the room? How you question and/or respond...even just your facial expression...can make all the difference #speaklikeyoumeanit
Experts don't walk around claiming to be experts.
They demonstrate their expertise through the questions they ask and the knowledge they share.

A little Leadership Communication humor: There will be a few times when, as a leader, you need to communicate and not care about the emotional impact on your audience #speaklikeyoumeanit
Communicating to engage, to build a relationship, takes multiple touches in a rhythm that's comfortable and sustainable. Think it through! #leadershipcommunication #speaklikeyoumeanit

Leaders tell their stories on purpose, emphasizing the take-aways and positive impact: “Regret leads to negativity...Given the opportunity, I might change a choice I made, but you can’t regret making what you thought was the best decision at the time.” RIP Carol Channing. – at Roswell, GA
Clarity helps leaders attract followers. It comes most easily when you have a Point of View that you support with facts and relatable stories. Authenticity comes thru when you update your POV, honestly #speaklikeyoumeanit
You're entitled to your own opinions in your head. But if you choose to express them out loud, it's your responsibility to:
(1) Ground them in logic and facts
(2) Explain your reasoning to others
(3) Change them when better evidence emerges

Leaders use how they communicate-the tone they set-to create psychological safety so employees speak up when they should #speaklikeyoumeanit
A Deloitte study found that 70% of employees in a wide range of industries admitted to not speaking up about problems they saw even when they believed their organizations' performance could suffer as a result.
It's a #leadership problem when people aren't made to feel safe.
