Have writing assignments in class with pen and paper with no digital gear allowed. You get clear results and students do the work and learn. Universities need to make a hard shift in this direction now.

When capitalism, or in this case plastic waste, becomes a global threat then governments must intervene.

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

“If governments wait even five years to implement plastic-reduction policies, they will end up spending an extra $27 billion annually on plastic collection and disposal by 2040,” writes Winnie Lau.

“This agreement is not just a cease-fire. This agreement is really a big test about whether a larger deal could be possible,” says @vali_nasr.

The Iranian regime wants to dominate the Persian Gulf and blackmail the world by controlling the flow of Middle Eastern oil, @wrmead argues on @FoxBusiness.

"The United States has been trying since WWII to prevent any country from getting that kind of power."

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

“Ankara has been distancing itself from Moscow by reducing its dependence on Russian energy and pruning the two countries’ economic and defense ties. That shift has opened the door to deeper cooperation with NATO allies,” writes @gonultol.

Recognition doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to be consistent.
Good cultures notice the work. Great cultures tell the person. The best cultures make sure everyone knows.
That's it. That's the whole thing. Go chase some great stories today.

Every coach should spend 5 minutes listening to Mike Holmgren detail his Opening Script

"Nobody should feel good about what Virginia did. Nobody should feel good about what California did. But Texas went first," Ruth Marcus says. "Texas went first at the urging of Donald Trump." https://t.co/KwV5DZ7iU6

On managing people/teams:

“If people knew how much more they could get out of a horse by gentleness than by harshness, they would save a great deal of trouble both to the horse and the man.”
— Ulysses S. Grant, quoted in Ron Chernow, Grant (2017)

Teacher Appreciation Week! Please make sure that the words you say match the actions you bring.

The stuff matters. The words matter MORE.

The gift card could end up in the junk drawer…the conversation could be the one they talk about when they retire. #LeadFromWhoYouAre

Mike McDaniel breaking down lessons learned back in Washington + offensive game planning in SF. [Exclusive]

We found lost tapes of McDaniel and Chris Foerster, two of the best offensive minds in football, walking through how the weekly game plan actually comes together, the reasoning behind every concept, every protection, every adjustment.

Mike, one of the most sought-after coaching candidates, explains his philosophy: have your reasons, explain the whys to your players, get buy-in, then build something together that gives the other team the illusion of complexity.

Enjoy this small peek inside a room full of football genius.
