In this edition of Sparks of Inspiration, I want to share one of the most consistent truths I have observed across hours of coaching leaders: people aren't trying to become someone new; they're trying to remember who they were before they lost sight of themselves. www.linkedin.com/posts/tonyma...

Why leaders should build teams less like machines and more like ecosystems
The metaphors we use drive the systems we design. Treat an organization like a machine and you’ll optimize for speed, control, and outputs.

We pay too much attention to strong opinions—and too little to deep insight and broad perspectives. Pontificating is not a sign of credibility. Hot takes are not a substitute for being well-informed. Expertise is how much you know. Wisdom is knowing how much you have to learn.

The Alchemy of Heartbreak and How to Live with Unrequited Love: The Story Behind Emily Dickinson’s “Hope Is the Thing with Feathers”
This essay is adapted from the nineteenth chapter of my book Figuring. In the first autumn of her thirties, Emily Dickinson wrote to her confidante and eventual editor Thomas Wentworth Higginson: I had a terror — since September — I could tell to none, and so I sing, as the Boy does by the Burying Ground — because I am afraid. Not a “fright,” not a “shock,” but a terror. What lay behind this enormity implied by a woman who measured her words so meticulously?
