Model: a generation is shaped by what happened in the world during their adolescence

Current generation living through things like Brexit Trump ??? immigrants And I’m interested in how these attitudes will shape them. I think this young generation is going to become a very accepting generation. What I love about millennials is that they are a much more accepting generation than older generations. Whether it is sexuality or gender identity It's a big nothing. "Whatever you wanna do" I think this younger generation is gonna be even more accepting and inclusive of people who are not like them, than previous generations (src: [[video-simon-sinek-in-conversation-with-reggie-yates....

Model: resilient instead of sustainable

The language of sustainability is the wrong language. Sustainability sounds like a liberal philosophy. I think the word we should be using is resilience. Is our planet resilient? Are we helping our planet be resilient? Are our organisations resilient? If we're relying on limited fossil fuels, that is not resilient. climate scientists were bad at marketing It was never stated as a cause, we could all join in on. It was sort of a political philosophy (src: [[video-leadership-through-inspiration-simon-sinek....

Model: What are you willing to die for?

You should know the answer to: What are you willing to die for? What are you willing to get fired for? What are you willing to fail for? What are you willing to be humiliated for? Great leaders can answer that question. And if the answer is “nothing” that is a problem. (src: Video_ Leadership through Inspiration - Simon Sinek)

Model: You can't compartmentalise emotions

at the beginning of covid, I called a friend and asked: How to compartmentalise emotions? I knew we were dealing with trauma, and I wanted to be mission focussed. Soldier replied: You can't compartmentalise emotions, not for a length of time. You can do it for a short period of time in battle. But you're gonna deal with it at some point. You're dealing with trauma, there is no avoiding trauma....
