Yoni -my 25YO niece is high functioning on the spectrum and I see all of this exactly in her: the pride when she succeeds and the devestating overwhelm when something goes amiss. And I see this in ALL KINDS of organizations, as you say. Not just newsrooms. So many nonprofits go through these negative feedback loops.

Lisa. I am just seeing this now. But I am so glad I did.

Thank you for sharing that about your niece. That cycle of pride and then devastating overwhelm is so real. And it is so hard to watch.

You are spot on about nonprofits too.

The mission is usually huge. But the systems are fragile.

That is exactly where those negative loops start.
