For others, it might need to be systemized.

So my friend Neen James refers to it as systemized thoughtfulness.

If you're not naturally someone who does, that's okay.

No shame needed, but systemize it, maybe on your calendar once a week.

How can I reach out to a few key members of my team and make sure that they know they are seen, heard, and valued?

There was something that they did this week that I'm going to call out.

Make it part of the fabric of your week if it's not something that comes naturally, if you want people to belong.

So this CEO, just for context, was very buttoned up.

Nobody ever saw him stumble on his words.

He was a, I say this with love and no judgment, he was a teleprompter CEO.

He was a notes reading CEO.

His remarks were very much similar to a politician, were very structured, very planned.

And that was what people had come to expect from him.

He always had on a suit.

He never dressed down.

He was a formal CEO.

And what happened in the pandemic is many of us who didn't have our home offices ready, which was many of us,

you know, got thrown in.

They're using whatever space in the house that was available.

I believe he lived in an apartment in New York City.
