Leadership is adversarial when the goal of listening is to prove someone wrong and convince them you are right.

Dedicate yourself to curiosity.

The template in politics seems to be hitting the policy reset button every 4.0 years. If a policy direction is appropriate, then continue. Plagiarism is a simplistic criticism.

Republican Governor Larry Hogan’s account of how Trump bungled our response to the pandemic and put governors in an unfair situation is a must-read. https://t.co/G8TJxSv3sq

Let's not confuse being open to different views with being uncritical.

Being willing to hear dissenting opinions doesn't mean you lack quality standards.

I want to live in a world where people have the freedom to express contrarian thoughts *and* the freedom to criticize them.

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

The US has a second — and probably final — chance to get the pandemic under control.

But doing so requires leaders who respect facts and followers who respect each other.

When you mix science and politics, you get politics.

Confidence doesn’t defend answers. It expands options.

"The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted." "The way to defeat bad ideas is by exposure, argument, and persuasion, not by trying to silence or wish them away."

[Harper's Magazine @Harpers]

A statement signed by 150 people incl. Bill T. Jones, Wynton Marsalis, Jennifer Finney Boylan, Noam Chomsky, J.K. Rowling, Margaret Atwood, and Salman Rushdie expresses concern over the illiberal trend intensified by our national reckoning.
