Best quotes: “We’re [millennials] collectively trying to break the cycle in nearly every aspect of our lives: to be better bosses, better parents, better leaders than those who came before is.”

“We do our teams a disservice by asking people to bring parts of themselves [true authentic self] to work that work is ill-suited to handle.”

“We’ve absorbed #hustleculture and the need to #riseandgrind into our bones - we got here because, we tell ourselves, we were willing to outwork our peers.”

“It’s simply easier to operate as if what others say about your leadership is none of your business and you’re doing them a public service by giving them something to bond over.”

“Being miserable at work doesn’t make your work more meaningful and rarely makes you more effective. You don’t get a medal on your deathbed because you did it the hard way.”
