    Worth Reading – Hiding who you are can have real effects on your mental health

    ByMike McBride June 25, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    When businesses tell people to keep their identity out of the workplace, they are causing mental health harm. Period. 

    The effort to hide, the message that they should be ashamed of who they are because coworkers are uncomfortable, isn’t just about being kind; it’s a real workplace mental health issue. The question isn’t about whether it causes harm; it’s about whether you, as an employer, care that you are causing harm.

    ByMike McBride June 15, 2026June 21, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    This relationship might be the biggest indicator of whether your best people stay, yet you give the person in charge of it almost no training on how to manage it effectively.

    Worth Reading – The trap of being promoted from within

    ByMike McBride June 10, 2026June 9, 2026 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    When you get the title, people will bring you things and hand off responsibility to things that you didn’t know existed. Even though you were sitting right there, in the team that you now lead, you don’t know how many things the previous person in that chair never bothered to tell you about, or the relationships across other teams that made their life easier that you need to build. Many of those things didn’t just happen; effort went into knowing what to do and who to talk to.

    Worth Reading – Good Leaders Presume Team Members Feel Undervalued and Underappreciated

    ByMike McBride June 4, 2026June 4, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    It’s a difficult thing, in the busy work world we all live in, to make sure your people are looked after and appreciated. It’s very easy to take them for granted because you trust them to do their work. I’m not saying you should micromanage them, but showing an interest in them and their work would help them feel like part of the team. Letting other things get in the way creates an issue. One that may lead your best performers to leave for a place where they feel more appreciated.
