Join 📚 Edwin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
It seems, on the surface, to be a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t kind of scenario. If you’re seen as warm but not competent, you elicit compassion but a lack of respect. If you appear competent but cold, you elicit respect but also envy and wariness. And don’t be surprised if your colleagues are only too happy to see you stumble.
No One Understands You and What to Do About It

It is easy to want the top job; less easy to know whether being the ultimate decision-maker is right for you. Consiglieri will help inform that choice. Do you really wish to be an A, the main attraction and the ace of absolute accountability, or might you prefer to be a key C, on whom the A depends, the kind of person who leads, influences, counsels, guides, and helps the A deliver?

Our own childhood and the way we were parented can affect our parenting. For some of us, we may idolize the way we were raised and often feel like we don’t measure up; for others, we may not like the way we were parented and want to do things differently, but we still often find ourselves repeating the patterns; or for some, the balance is just right. In preparing ourselves to be Montessori parents, it helps to take time to revisit what we liked or did not like about our own childhood. To make peace with it and let go as much as we can, knowing that we are starting our own journey.
