The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
@PGKroeger EU is not Europe. Europe is great. But the EU is a machine that needs quick repair. The expansion eastward was a mistake driven by commercial interests. How did a charlatan like Orban get in?

💶 Brussels has no money of its own. It uses our money, the money of the member states, to finance the war in Ukraine. Over 20% of the next EU budget is proposed to go to Ukraine while Europe’s economy is in deep trouble. Financing war with debt and tax hikes is not a strategy, it is a road to ruin. It’s time for peace, it's time to rebuild Europe!
"Kijk, ik ben kind van de jaren negentig, groeide op in een sociaaldemocratisch paradijs, Wim Kok regeerde vaderlijk, als middenstandszoon kon ik gewoon studeren."
Valse nostalgie. Dat studeren kon dankzij Deetmans basisbeurs die VVD&PvdA&D66 afschaften. https://t.co/O7LhKdIcdU
The best CEO advice I received throughout my career:
• influence > authority
• agency (can do) > intelligence (IQ)
• customer service is not a department
• sales is the hardest job in any company
• customer focus > competitor focus
• always try to add value and be helpful
• show up when it matters most to your customers
• adopt a beginner’s mindset - experts are lifelong learners
• tactics drive strategy - adapt faster
• earn a seat next to your customer, not across from her
• own it and never point fingers
• learn and use people’s names
• our job is to educate and inspire
• we are all in sales
• stay accessible, curious and humble
• people do business with people they trust, respect and like
• if you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead
• the language of business is finance
• there are no IT projects, only business projects
• pay your best people the very best you can
• hire people based on their good judgment and high rate of learning
• in a celebration lead from the back, in a crisis lead from the front
• you are not a team because you work together - you are a team because you trust, respect and care for each other
• to improve the customer experience, start with the employee experience
• you are not taller by making others look smaller
• revenue growth ahead of expenses
• remove bad apples quickly
• leave your desk and spend time with customers
• culture is what happens when the managers leave the room
• tactics drive strategy
• there is nothing more important than our customers
• if you are waiting for a better title to lead, you are not ready to lead
• business is personal - you can be decisive and also be kind, graceful and empathetic
• recognize effort but reward outcomes
• your company is only as good as the company you keep
• your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room
• learn to speak your customer’s language
• often remind people that their work matters
• a zero sum mindset limits your growth
• your company is only as good as the company you keep
• innovation opportunities are found at the edges, not centers (how your customers serve their customers)
Falende inkoopfunctie, Waternet, woningnood, de stad op slot door werkzaamheden, AEB, hogere lasten, gerommel met participatie en juridische zaken… is Amsterdamse MAGA-aanpak nodig? Een college dat een keer echt door pakt #makeamsterdamgreatagain#gr26
Dit is echt ongekend en eigenlijk ook ongehoord. Proefschrift zou niet deugen maar graad hoeft niet ingetrokken te worden? Schrijf dan een paper. https://t.co/OTlYzatmDK
Kom op nou @BoerBurgerB, @PVVpers en minister @vanHijum! Laat deelnemers en gepensioneerden niet langer in onzekerheid over hun pensioen, kom jullie verkiezingsbelofte na, en steun Tweede Kamerlid @Agnes_Joseph van @NwSocContract!
