An enjoyable meander through much of interest, as always, thank you Bruce. I really wanted to read the Emma Seppala articles but am not an HBR subscriber and am coming up again a paywall, sadly.
I can look out for her work elsewhere, I am sure, so thank you for the signposting: leadership by the positive contagion model is my chosen way of operating, but I suspect that the honesty that goes with that also sometimes mean I share too freely my frustrations!
Hey Bruce - Maybe I'd read my couple of free without realising, though it didn't tell me I had reached the limit. But regardless, THANK YOU for the archive link! I really appreciate it. And in a serendipitous moment, another write I follow has just published a conversation with Emma Seppälä! :) Thanks again.
Great list of takes! The one on employee benefits really caught me and I realised the quote is a bit misleading. You give the impression that employees aren't interested in the non-monetary benefits implying that employees only want monetary benefits but the underlying article argues that employees are interested in non monetary benefits (which is consistent with research) but that companies aren't offering the right benefits or consulting employees about benefits.

Normally you get 3 or 4 HBR articles free. Is that not working?
Here’s one in archived format

Hmmm I’m not sure I agree with your take
