5 年I love this article and your message -- don't strive to be the best, strive to be better. It connects to themes by my most recent Podcast Guest, Dolly Chugh, whose work I love. Have you seen her book: The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias. She says, don't strive to be a "Good Person", instead strive to be "Good-ish"...and it will enable you to become better.? Thanks for all your thoughtful posts! christy www.LeadersGetReal.com
