Jessi Hempel

Backchannel, 2017
Aperçu
Being vulnerable at work doesn’t reveal weakness; it makes your business stronger.
Recommendation
Most people spend much of their lifetimes at work. Common attitudes insist you leave your personal struggles at home, but Facebook COO and Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg disagrees. When her husband died suddenly, she found that being open about her pain made her a better boss and Facebook a better workplace. Not only do emotions have a place at work, she argues, but you can leverage them for a better organization overall. Tune in for a reflective, heartbreaking essay by Backchannel’s Jessi Hempel that is practical at its core. getAbstract suggests this read to modern business managers who want to rethink the way they lead.
