Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our capacities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own, the results can be devastating.

We all have human emotions that rob our lives.

We have many identities, and we can't be authentic to them all. The best we can do is be sincere in our efforts to earn the values we claim.

From a motivation perspective, helping others enriches the meaning and purpose of our own lives, showing us that our contributions matter and energizing us to work harder, longer, and smarter.

The culture of a workplace - an organization's values, norms and practices - has a huge impact on our happiness and success.

If an organization values innovation, you can assume it's safe to speak up with new ideas, leaders will listen, and your voice matters.
