I agree fully — and yet, " attitude" as a term is a wide stretch. .  :) The real question extends beyond hiring: how do those attitudes shape the climate people enter once they’re hired?  Skills determine performance; attitudes determine whet

Today we’re spotlighting two quiet forces that shape your team’s stress culture more than you think: 🧠 Mirror neurons – tiny brain cells that silently copy the emotional state of whoever’s leading the room. 👥 Generational stress responses – from Boomers wearing burnout like a badge of honor to Gen Z quietly spiraling behind their Slack status.
