The document discusses how in most organizations, people are encouraged to suppress parts of themselves and only show their "ego" side. It notes that bringing up deeper issues or concerns, or showing vulnerability, caring, or questioning attitudes is discouraged and seen as risky. As a result, people only show a very narrow, rational, masculine, results-oriented side of themselves and suppress the other parts, only expressing 1/16 of their full selves. The document suggests teal organizations have found solutions to allow people to bring their whole selves to work.
