“If you don’t know how to respond to someone who experienced loss, try putting yourself in that person’s shoes. Ask yourself how you would respond if you were in her situation. Ask yourself what you would want to hear and what you wouldn’t want to hear. It’s possible you wouldn’t want to hear anything. You might just want someone to sit and grieve with you.”

“Have you ever worked with a leader who didn’t allow mistakes? Perhaps he would say things like, 'Failure is not an option!' There are three problems with this mindset. The first problem with this is that we are human. Meaning, we’re bound to make mistakes. The second problem is it stifles creativity and innovation. People will not risk doing anything original or adaptive if they are afraid of being reprimanded if it doesn’t work. Finally, the third problem with a 'Failure is not an option' mindset is that mistakes can often be great teachers.”
