In the Bronx, when we made our public hospital the response center to violent crimes instead of jails and precincts, reoccurrence of crime fell dramatically.

As leaders, we should focus on solutions that are working instead of what helps us look “tough.”

I had some Belgian admin to do today. I received my police clearance certificate via email within 4 HOURS of requesting it. I received a follow-up email to a request for my birth certificate within 7 MINUTES of requesting it. Administrations can be efficient. Why not in 🇿🇦?

Oh so unimpressed by my first experience with @getsmarter - I enrolled for a course by @iangoldmansa and @SChapmanEval 2 weeks ago, processed payment last week and followed up numerous times to access the course. Last email received from them was 8 days ago. Since then, silence.
