COT: Wrapping up MHA Month with Surgeon General Murthy’s report on the loneliness epidemic and what to do about it: Parents and caregivers have an especially powerful role, the advisory says. They can model healthy connection by spending time together, setting aside time for screen-free socializing, and engaging in constructive conflict resolution. They’re also urged to encourage individual friendships and group activities, to be aware of how young people spend their time online and to watch for potential warning signs of loneliness or isolation.
Individual Americans might take time out of each day to connect with a friend or family member and minimize distractions during conversations. Regularly practicing service and gratitude can encourage others to do the same. Cut back on things that lead to disconnection, such as harmful social media use or time spent in unhealthy relationships. Be open with health care providers about significant social changes that may affect levels of connection, and reach out to a loved one, counselor, provider or crisis hotline in times of struggle.

COT: QSource: Disruption
Leaders influence movement to advantage
A leader is a person who can influence people to do things that they would not have done otherwise. Without him, they would remain static and focused on maintaining the status quo.
People will only overcome their inertia and follow someone if they believe that he knows where he is going. Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption
Leadership wrenches people away from the place at which they were determined to remain.
Being both Disruptive and agitating, leadership will naturally make people uncomfortable, at least until they begin to see for themselves that they are being led to a place of advantage. A great Leader’s legacy is built on love
People will follow a Leader when he is in the room. People will continue to follow a good Leader when he has left the room. But only a great Leader is able to influence movement to advantage even after he has died.
In the way that a lawyer or doctor practices his profession from the standpoint of service to his client or patient, the great Leader’s focus is always upon his followers rather than himself.
The great Leader knows that if his love is not great, than neither will be his leadership.

Nantan Nano’s reflection . . . This topic really resonates with me. It tells you that to be led you need to get outside your comfort zone. But, perhaps more importantly, to lead you must be comfortable with being the disruptive force that pushes others outside their comfort zone. In other words, you are not leading unless there is resistance.
