Welcome to this week's Friday Five (F3). This week we are looking at collaboration in an ever changing landscape. In many cases we have not been able to physically meet for many months, while at the same time we find ourselves somehow always connected through email, calls and Zooms. So how do we work together while ensuring personal time to reflect and innovate? In this week's five, you will find ideas and solutions as a leader to encourage all voices are heard. And perhaps most importantly, some thoughts on taking a step back to do some bigger-picture reflection with our own families right now - to help children better understand their own narrative in these strange and historic times.

3. 5 Things Not to Say in a Leadership Role
People don’t need to be led. They’d rather have the opportunity to follow a natural leader so that they also learn how to lead themselves and others in any given environment - be it career - related or personal. Leaders must understand, and consider with care, the meaning of each word they utter, as well as act as role models to encourage others’ future growth and organizational continuity. In this Medium post, Ali Kursun discusses how leaders must pause and question some of the common sayings they may use, and lists the five common statements leaders should avoid using altogether.
