It's time to become constructively disruptive: challenge for all of us in sustainability/ESG, both in industry and consulting. What do you think?

"This is hands-down the most deeply researched, sensitive, intimate, and nuanced portrait of Eisenhower." - David Kennedy, a Pulitzer Prize for History awardee.
Do not miss the History Camp Discussion with Michael Paradis, featuring his book, "The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower," tonight at 8 PM Eastern at https://t.co/PWX8cnwf3e.
What a great day! 300+ attendees and 50 sessions on all aspects of history at #HistoryCamp Boston. Opening + sessions with @Boston1775 and @profallison pictured. Thanks to everyone who came—from throughout the region and across the country!
Always glad to see Thomas Young get his due. Several factors contributed to his historical low profile including OUTSPOKEN deism (arrested for blasphemy), political radicalism (incl sometime opposition to landlords) & rootlessness - neither NY nor MA nor PA saw him as their guy.
Many of the movers and shakers during the tea crisis are forgotten to history/the general public: William Molineaux, Thomas Young, Joseph Warren, and so many more. It was more than just Sam Adams and John Hancock pushing things along!
Does your Board forget commitments they approved? Does your CEO forget your program (or name)? If so, you may be suffering from Uncommitted Commitments Syndrome, or UCS. There is no cure for UCS, but for help in diagnosing & recommended treatments see https://t.co/7055rg1vHo
@LPEblog @MadisonECondon Great post - as I’ve repeatedly told clients trying to precisely quantify climate impacts: “Quantification of the subjective doesn’t make it objective.”
Excellent piece on the need for diversity programs and the "merchants of resentment" who want to take the country backward. From CEO business leaders.

Much talk around climate is preaching to the choir. Spend less time preaching to the choir (or our fellow “clergy”) and more talking with the people who aren't even in our climate church, no matter how uncomfortable those conversations may be.

Rules to navigate ESG wars:
1. If what you are doing makes sense, keep doing it
2. If what you are doing doesn’t make sense, stop doing it
3. If you face ESG blowback, differentiate “sincere” vs “insincere" objections
4. Protect your credibility

@MadisonECondon As fairly cynical sust/ESG strategy practitioner, NOT academic, suggest you look at the new, likely onerous CSRD double-materiality guidance as an attempt to look through the CSR and ESG lenses at the same time. (Realizing how much fog there is around any of these definitions)
