The Weight of Being Known

Essays on the self we bring to work, and the one we leave at home.

A team is not a group of people who work together. It is a group of people who have decided how much of themselves is safe to show.

Every workplace runs two conversations: the one people are having, and the one they have decided not to. This volume examines the professional mask, the hidden tax of the edited self, and what it costs an organization when being fully seen has too often been punished.
