Resilience Has a Ceiling | Better Moments #7 | Tasha Eurich (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Toughing it out is not resilience. Chronic pressure without recovery drains people, and the ones praised for coping are often closest to the edge. In this Better Moment, organisational psychologist Tasha Eurich takes apart the bounce-back myth: why "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is backwards, why resilience behaves like a budget rather than a personality trait, and why almost none of us can see the cost coming. Her research on self-awareness says 95 percent of us believe we can. Roug
How to Get Curious, Not Furious | Better Moments #6 | Smart Conflict (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Conflict at work is not simply a choice between charging in and avoiding it. In this four-and-a-half-minute Better Moment, *Smart Conflict* authors Alice Driscoll and Louise van Haarst focus on two useful forces: conflict confidence, and the desire to get it right or be right. They explain why enforced harmony can crowd out healthy disagreement, and how to move from relational conflict, me against you, into task conflict, both of us against the problem. Their practical phrase works at either end
Hope Is a Strategy? | Better Moments #5 | Jennifer Moss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hope at work is not optimism. It is a goal worth reaching, more than one credible route forward and enough agency to move.

Jennifer looks at the growing hope gap among younger workers, why small completed goals build momentum and what micromanagement takes away: accomplishment, autonomy and intrinsic mo
The Four Things That Make Work Worth Doing | Better Moments #4 | Laura Gassner Otting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A good job is not the same for everyone. Laura Gassner Otting gives us four dials for working out whether a role actually fits: calling, connection, contribution and control. Calling is the force that pulls you forward. Connection is whether your work matters. Contribution is what the work gives your life. Control is the agency you have over your time, decisions and environment. The practical question is not whether all four are high. It is whether the mix matches what matters to you now. Laura
AI Doesn't Destroy Jobs. It Destroys Skills | Better Moments #3 | Russell Beck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The loudest predictions about AI count the jobs it might destroy. Russell Beck says that is the wrong unit of analysis. Technology is very good at removing the scarce skill inside a job. Russell's example is a naval shipyard worker wearing an exoskeleton. The job remains. The work becomes safer. The employer gains a wider talent pool. Physical strength stops being the thing that makes one person uniquely qualified. In this eight-minute Better Moment, Russell explains where the advantage moves ne
