Do You Really Have To Respond To All Those Alerts?
Computer scientist Edward Tufte says, "There are only two industries that call their customers 'users': illegal drugs and software." Many of us came to know him in the film The Social Dilemma, which tackles the dark side of our addiction to social media.
A really interesting concept we've come to understand is how these free platforms use us as the “product”. We've known this for a fact, but given how they've become necessary in our lives, we acknowledge the need to stay on these platforms. The challenge, therefore, is establishing the discipline of when to let our devices rule our time. We can break the cycle of addiction and get away from it.

Reducing Fear to Increase Productivity
Fear is present in the workplace, whether we realise it or not.
The culture we keep: uncertainty, feelings of disconnect and difficult employee-employer relationships pose psychological threats to our people.
As a leader, it is essential to be mindful of how you are showing up. Ensure that your actions and interactions with people inspire instead of causing fear in them — not just at work but everywhere else.
You can't make people care if you don't care about them.
Empathy and the ability to cultivate understanding and support in the workplace are crucial to preventing disengagement, poor performance, and indifference.

Pay Attention to the Small Things
Pay attention to the little things, whether in person or on Zoom. These make the big things in identifying what's going on, particularly with your team members. It is crucial to notice details by being fully engaged in the conversation.
Look at the energy or how your people enter the workplace any day. Get a read and be perceptive and compassionate about what's going on. Have they come in a little bit flat or quiet? Do they try to avoid everyone? Are they not making eye contact?

ALWAYS "ON" CULTURE
Like everyone else, it's easy to get tangled up in responding to the notifications on our gadgets and being busy all the time. If left unnoticed, what connects us to the world also disconnects us from the people who need our attention the most.

ATTENTION DEFICIT TRAIT
Modern culture made us develop Attention Deficit Trait or ADT. We see this neurological phenomenon in ourselves and our teams, resulting in a huge mental overload followed by a pattern of overwhelm, inattention and impatience. Although ADT is less severe, it affects people's time management and decision-making capacity.

A LEADER'S PHYSIOLOGY & PRESENCE
When we become adults and assume leadership positions in the workplace, we understand that poise and standing up straight can shift the way we behave and dictate how everyone else perceives us.
You only get one first impression; what message do you want to send? Jade describes the picture you've already seen before: walking into a meeting or a group setting, you naturally flock to that person who's carrying him or herself confidently. Many instances happen where everyday workers are more postured than their supervisors and managers.
Standing up straight changes how you feel, but it also changes how everyone perceives you. Kyle shares how you can allow your body to fool your mind in times when you feel scared, unprepared or insecure by focusing on one simple thing — your posture.

THE PROBLEM BEHIND THE PROBLEM
