He Lost Employees Before He Learned How to Lead | Atiba de Souza (opens the original)

Atiba de Souza learned leadership through the consequences of getting it wrong. He describes a period when his reactions and leadership style burned people out and cost him employees.

How You Become Who You Are: The Psychology of Self-Concept | L. Michael Burt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you become who you are? Long before you had the ability to question what you believed about yourself, you were absorbing ideas about who you were, what was possible, what was safe, what you deserved, and how you were supposed to move through the world.

You enter a room you once fought to access, but the room now feels too small. You continue routines that once felt like purpose, but now they feel like performance. That does not automatically mean you are burned out, ungrateful, or failing. It may mean the identity that carried you through an earlier season has finished its ass
Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns and How to Break the Cycle | L. Michael Burt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do you keep repeating the same patterns, even after you have done the inner work, spiritual work, and practical work? The money problem returns. Your vision feels like it is moving through sludge. You hire the coach and get pieces. You feel certain on Sunday, then lose that certainty by Wednesday. Eventually, the question turns inward: AM I THE PROBLEM? No. Your present circumstances may be an echo of old decisions, patterns, and stories still moving through your life. An echo is behind you.
