1. I watched an interview recently where a person talked about his disappointment with his former collaborators, saying that two of them were "so busy" with being their personas that they failed to see who else was working alongside them. I found this telling and interesting, how people can become so absorbed with who they are that they don't see or fully respect and value those with whom they work. What is at the root of that type of behavior?
2. What does that type of behavior often or predominantly lead to with a team? 3. How can team members respectfully, effectively help those living in their own bubble realize it's about the team and everyone's contributions for the mission and not just who they are as people and well-known personas?

Employment Prospects of People Suspended or Fired: Charlie Kirk's murder
Are we, as a collective, forgetting what we learned as children, that certain communication can get us in hot water? This article will talk about the possible employment future of people who spoke out in a way that was considered offensive in regards to a murder (one many of us have seen up close on video) of a public speaker.
1. What does it say to workers and society when employers are either terminating or suspending employees who publicly communicated their approval and maybe, glee at a person being shot through the neck and murdered while speaking publicly?
2. Do employees crude public comments about the murder make employers uneasy, beyond the public relations danger, about the trustworthiness of their employees' character and possible capacity for violence themselves?
3. What will likely become of employees' future employment prospects who publicly communicated any type of emotion of approval for the Kirk killing?
