Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.

Grief affects job performance, so giving workers time off to grieve can lead to stronger outcomes at work.

When people are really suffering, and we know they're suffering, that question can be a very difficult one. Inadvertently, I think without anyone meaning it, it communicates a lack of empathy.

Grief comes and goes, it ebbs and flows. I think one of the lessons of this for me is that there's no one way to grieve. Everyone does it in their own way, in their own time, and we all process life and its challenges and its ups and downs as they come.

Today, despite all of the gains we have made, neither men nor women have real choice. Until women have supportive employers and colleagues as well as partners who share family responsibilities, they don't have real choice. And until men are fully respected for contributing inside the home, they don't have real choice either.

Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.
