Cindy, you are such a gifted writer, thanks for sharing your gifts with this community! Your writing brings out the emotion in this enneagram type 2; I so appreciate your thoughts on community and the importance of being in community during this technology driven season of life. Also, your thoughts on “the shift” that occurs in leaders when they stop being co-workers and start being connected with one another really landed you.

Keep writing Cindy, it’s such a gift!!

I love this. NYU’s Jonathan Haidt uses the term “the hive effect” to refer to the same thing. Biologically, he says, we’re 90% chimp—individualistic—but 10% bee—capable of melding in purpose and experience with others.

I am surprised by the 90/10. Does the split look different along gender lines, I wonder? Thanks for reading.

Long video - but I can only imagine the collective effervescence in the room as Jacob Collier brings it all together.

According to Haidt in his book The Righteous Mind, women, on average, score somewhat higher on traits related to empathy, relational orientation, and social attunement. Men, on average, show somewhat greater attraction to hierarchical competition, status contests, and aggression.
