How do you handle disagreements within a team? At my work we don't really have a good system and instead people get passive aggressive or things get swept under the rug. Any advice is welcome and greatly appreciated!

It's tough. We will try to do meetings where we reach a consensus in the group, but that can be quite an adventure. Meetings can go on forever, and sometimes everyone has a concern they want addressed. The advantage is that once a decision is made, people are behind it. But boy, it can be a struggle to get there.

This is pretty much how it goes at my company as well OP. Sadly nobody can just be an adult and disagree but then hash it out. Everyone here seems to get petty and passive aggressie and nothing ever gets settled. Its really frustrating because I feel like we are all old enought to have adult conversations and then move on.

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
