The Long Lens may allow you to see the potential for learning, growth, and a better future, despite the current hardship.

We have vastly more control over how we experience what happens to us – and how we behave as a result – than we ordinarily believe.

…we have the option to face the facts exactly as they are – to see reality unvarnished, in all its complexity – and then focus on making the most of the life we’ve been given.

A leader’s job is to mobilize, focus, inspire, and regularly renew the energy of those they lead.

The conclusion is inescapable: truly valuing people pays huge dividends.

Leaders who rely on negative emotions may get the short-term results they’re seeking, but the costs accrue over time.

A harsh leader begets not just fear but also resentment, and those feelings are likely to influence people’s performance and their loyalty in the long run.

Unless we’re observing our own emotions – and intentionally taking control of them – we’re often the product of our most recent experiences.

We hunger for close relationships not just in our personal lives but also at work, and we especially need to feel valued by those who manage and evaluate us.

Because gestures of appreciation are so rare in most organizations, a little goes a long way.
