6348 interactions, 200 operations "Conflict was most likely when male surgeons worked with male-dominated surgical teams... went more smoothly, with less yelling and other forms of conflict, when the surgeon was female or when male surgeons were surrounded by mostly women." nitter.cf/MaxBeilby/status/10139…

If you're trying to express warmth through words, start by listening. Well worth reading. nitter.cf/AdamMGrant/status/9981…
After talking with a good listener, people's attitudes became more complex and less extreme. To get better at listening: tell someone you usually have trouble hearing that you’re working to improve, and you’ll listen for 3 or 5 minutes before responding. hbr.org/2018/05/the-power-of…

Also, credit where due: @amyjccuddy's work with her mentor Susan Fiske was huge in shaping how we thought about the strength+warmth picture. And @sallykohn was a champion practitioner of ABC during and since her time @FoxNews.

Strength+warmth theory validates a lot of persuasion advice to 1st show your audience that you share core cares: @DaleCarnegie, Peter M. Sandman's "Donkey," "Feel-felt-found" in sales, the "values sandwich" in politics, even @simonsinek's "Start with why." All good stuff.

#ladybird talking strength + warmth: Danny: "She's warm, but she's also kind of scary." Ladybird: "You can't be scary AND warm." Danny: "I think you can, your mom is."

Words to live by from @work_matters : "Am I a success or a failure?" is not a very useful question. It is better to ask “what am I learning.” nitter.cf/work_matters/status/94…

Love this: "It’s our emotions — specifically, gratitude, compassion and an authentic sense of pride (not hubris) — that push us to behave in ways that show self-control." nitter.cf/AdamMGrant/status/9471…

The basic idea here will look very familiar to those who have read Compelling People. cc: @work_matters nitter.cf/tombritton/status/9467…
