One “must” for this week
“The surprising truth about emotions in the workplace” by Susan David.
Display rules are implicit or explicit norms about which emotions are "appropriate" to feel and express.
They have a gendered component and impact our interactions with emotions in various aspects of life, including the workplace. These rules can lead to biases and hinder us from bringing our best selves forward.
How can we dismantle these rules? "The first step toward addressing these dynamics is to notice and name them," says Susan.
