Pros
- You'll see brilliant role models in action. I saw many strong examples of leadership, transparency, fairness, profound insight, and clairvoyance. - You learn to see the world from the perspective of a business owner, an engineer, an architect. An opportunity to create a canvas in your head and paint how the world should work. - Extremely passionate executives. Fiercely loyal to their values. You really feel a sense of working for the greater good in a profound way.
Cons
- There's a cargo cult culture around emotional intelligence that shuns real emotional vulnerability. - There is a very narrow profile of skills that are valued. If you don't have them, you're not respected. Not only that, but you can’t be related to and you’ll miss out on many of the pros I described - Lot of masculine energy, very head-y. I wish more women and POC worked here, It would help challenge this dynamic I think.
