Centering People, Not Products
It is easy to prioritize productivity and money above loving care. In the name of products and outputs, we:
Put health last: push our own bodies too far and ask team member to, as well.
Treat people as expendable: laying people off or firing people without regard for its impact on their future, and without realizing how bias is always playing a role in those decisions.
Deteriorate our humanity: practicing dissociation from feelings or objectification of people.
MJN is wondering what it looks like to bring a practice of humanity to the center of our work. How can we operate and relate with a spirit of abundance and generosity, even when times are tough? How can we design work for people, not people for work?
“One cannot deny the humanity of another without diminishing one's own.” —James A. Baldwin
