I have to write something today, 1000 words, which you’d think was doable, & it wd be, if my mind did not insist on participating. So far, it’s shared that I’m doomed from the start, that all my thoughts are cliches & word salad, that the person making me write this is an asshat.

@mkmccoy Great to see you in person, thanks for sharing all your wisdom and wit!

More nonprofit sector scholars!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The world needs fewer gurus and more scholars.

Gurus preach from intuition. Scholars teach from evidence.

Gurus promote themselves. Scholars promote ideas.

Gurus defend ideas. Scholars explore ideas.

Gurus make promises. Scholars ask questions.

There’s never been a more important time to tell the world your story. #anothersideofus
