The way you treat the youngest person on your team is how they’ll treat the youngest one on theirs.
STILLNESS
WHAT THIS MEANS
Treatment travels downward through groups with remarkable accuracy. Whatever happens to the newest person gets absorbed as the normal way to treat a new person, and they will repeat it when they are the one who has been there longest, without ever deciding to. Nobody chooses this pattern. It just propagates unless somebody interrupts it.
Find the newest or youngest person near you and be straightforwardly decent: learn their name, explain the thing nobody explained to you, include them once. That is how the pattern changes, and it changes from wherever you are standing.

- You’ll laugh at your braces photos someday. Take them anyway. Embarrassing pictures become the best ones.
