“Why would so many risk their reputations, families, careers—even presidential legacies—for something that runs against human nature? Were monogamy an ancient, evolved trait characteristic of our species, as the standard narrative insists, these ubiquitous transgressions would be infrequent and such horrible enforcement unnecessary. No creature needs to be threatened with death to act in accord with its own nature.” NeedsHumansWould BeRunningCareersRiskHuman NatureCreaturesStandardsSpeciesAncientHorribleReputationLegacyNarrativePresidentialCharacteristicsTraitsUnnecessaryThreatenedEnforcementAccordTransgressionMonogamy Author:Christopher Ryan
“The team you belong to must come ahead of the team you lead: this is putting team results (e.g., organizational needs) ahead of individual agendas (e.g., the team or division you lead, your ego, your need for recognition, your career development, etc.) Confidentiality is respected downward more than it is respected upward. Organizational alignment is a direct result of this hierarchy (if it were the other way around, organizational alignment would be very difficult to achieve).” IfsWayNeedsWould BeIndividualDifficultResultsCareersTeamAchieveBuildingDevelopmentEgoDirectRecognitionEtcAgendasDivisionHierarchyTeam BuildingAlignmentCareer DevelopmentOrganizationalConfidentiality Author:Patrick Lencioni

“Maybe "having enough" has a second meaning beyond the basic economic security a family needs. Maybe it means accepting that a rich full life with a job and family will be rewarding, but it certainly won't be perfect. As many of us who have combined kids and careers know all too well, some days it's really pretty messy. And that's OK.” KnowsNeedsWellsMeanEnoughKidsJobsPerfectAcceptingCareersRichEconomicSecurityMessyFull LifeEconomic SecurityReally Pretty Author:Willow Bay
“Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Meyer have already accomplished more than most. I think the sky is the limit for them professionally. If they can inspire more women to "lean in," as Sandberg so famously describes it - to pursue a career and a family - that would be an incredible accomplishment. If they can, by their example as hands on mothers and high powered executives, show young women that they don't need to leave the workplace when they have children, they will be superheroes.” IfsThinkingNeedsChildrenShowsHandsWould BeYoungMotherCareersSkyExampleInspireLimitsIncrediblesPursueAccomplishmentAccomplishedExecutivesYoung WomenWorkplaceSuperheroSky Is The Limit Author:Willow Bay
