1. Great Leaders Know About Building Unstoppable Teams
Interestingly, “engaged” employees—those who view their jobs as more than a paycheck—are less likely to describe their jobs as stressful. Following this thread, data also shows that engaged workers who are part of a strong team are statistically even happier in their work.

2. Black Women Whose Legacies of Sports Activism Live On

But once your baby arrives, there’s often no comprehensive plan in place. Can your in-laws come to stay? Will your partner handle any night feedings? Is there someone who can bring over a hot meal? You’re forever changed after crossing the threshold from woman to mother, you just went through an incredibly challenging physical event equivalent to running a marathon—and now you have a tiny, mewling infant to care for, too. Everything is different.
