Make room at your table for people still figuring it out. You were one five minutes ago.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Confidence has a short memory. Once you know how something works it becomes hard to recall being the person who did not, and that forgetting is where most impatience with beginners comes from. The gap between you and somebody lost is usually a few months rather than a category of person. Holding that in mind costs nothing and changes how you speak to people.

Find somebody newer than you this week and include them in something: a seat, a group chat, an explanation they did not have to ask for twice. Do not make a project of them. Leave the door slightly wider than you found it.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Who is new and standing slightly outside your group right now?
