@AirCanada what is wrong with your services?? 1.5hr flight took 2 delays, 3 cancellations & 28hrs of travel time this week. Now en route back - flight already delayed twice by 3hrs anticipated to leave after midnight (if it’s not cancelled). Get it together!! #terribleservice
The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes.
You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion.
Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.
I just found out the person killed in the Laguna Woods shooting yesterday was my primary care physician, Dr. John Cheng. Absolute hero. He attacked the gunman and helped save so many in that church. I just wanted his name to be known. He will be missed.
Insightful article by my colleague @SOndraschek in @LSEforBusiness “Open managers who listen to employees make men almost twice as likely to directly interrupt sexism, providing health benefits for both women and men.”
We asked our employees where they want to work:
7% want to go to the office full time
31% want an office-remote hybrid
62% want to work only from home
So I told them: sounds great. Do whatever you want. As a CEO, what do I care? If you get your work done, that's all that matters
6 years ago today I raised my company's min wage to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines.
Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought.
Always invest in people.
We are incredibly honored to receive a 2022 @CatalystInc Award, recognizing companies whose initiatives have proven powerful in making change & advancing women in the workplace. #CatalystAwards2022

“Leadership on #diversity isn’t just me or our management team; quite the opposite. Everyone in the organization needs to lead on diversity, including the board.” –Al Monaco, CEO of @Enbridge, a #CatalystAwards2022 winner. 🏆
“Many people think that #DEI work is about specific [racial and ethnic] groups. It’s not. It’s about ALL of us and how we can all show up and be part of a healthy, anti-discriminatory work #culture.”
