“Negative feedback can make people feel inferior.” — Adam Grant Quote

Negative feedback can make people feel inferior.

In the conversation about women in leadership, male voices are noticeably absent.

You want people who choose to follow because they genuinely believe in ideas, not because they're afraid to be punished if they don't. For startups, there's so much pivoting that's required that if you have a bunch of sheep, you're in bad shape.

If you want your children to bring original ideas into the world, you need to let them pursue their passions, not yours.

In the workplace, many people become helicopter managers, hovering over their employees in a well-intentioned but ill-fated attempt to provide support. These are givers gone awry - people so desperate to help others that they develop a white knight complex and end up causing harm instead.

I have learned from Twitter that you get that instant feedback about what people think about what you did.

When you play a show or festival, people know what they're getting; they want it. Then you're thrown onto a show where people are watching TV in their houses, and whether they ask for it or not, we're being played in front of them. There's a lot of negative feedback.

There's nothing more fun than acting on stage with a live audience and that immediate feedback.

But braking is so difficult, especially in single-seaters. You're millimetres from locking up in the braking zones. Having to feel that through the hands? You don't get anything like the same feedback when you hit a pedal and feel it push back against you.
