Q Yeah. So we're going to dig more into that in a bit, I'm sure as well, because we're in this moment now where we really need to think about existential flexibility, how to shift an entire business model. The last and fifth principle is demonstrate the courage to lead. What does courage to lead actually mean?
A So, so many of the standard business practices that exist today are not actually infinite minded. They're very finite minded. And many of the standard business practices that exist today that we consider quote unquote normal are not normal. The idea of shareholder supremacy, where we put the wants, needs, and desires of a disinterested external constituency over customers and our employees Was a philosophy that was promoted in the late 19 seventies and popularized in the eighties and nineties. The use of mass layoffs on an annualized basis to meet arbitrary projections did not exist in the United States prior to the 19 eighties. And you see a whole bunch of these philosophies that were propagated in the eighties and nineties that are standard today that are very, very, very finite minded. So the courage to lead is the strength of character to say, even though that's what everybody else is doing, I think that is wrong for the health of my business and I'm going to do it differently. And that is difficult.

Q is a question from Vivek Sinha. I'm a physician, Every day I walk in and I see the staff facing their own fears and crying behind the mask while they care for others. I'm at a loss on how to motivate these already highly motivated people. I am humbled by them and draw strength from them, but how do I motivate the already motivated? How do I lead the leaders?
A So he doesn't have to motivate them. As you said, they're already motivated. They're showing up every day. What he has to do is take care of them. I've been reaching out to combat medics and ask them, how do you deal with extreme stress and the crazy pace that where it's nonstop and it's, it's hard every day. And in the military, they teach them to be open with their emotions, to ask for help, to accept help, to cry and create safe spaces For others to do the same. In other words, to address those emotions, they teach that this is trauma and everybody will have to deal with trauma at some point. And so, so bottle it up and keep it somewhere. It's going to come out later on. The point is, is we want to, we, all of this tough guy stuff that you have to be strong. No, you don't. The best thing we can do is that if you see someone crying, uh, go up to the, I'm going to cry myself, you know, go up to them and, and put your hand on their back. And just stand with them and let them cry with you. Just don't let people cry alone. That's the best thing we can do for each other.
