Extreme Humanism / Don’t Get Leaders who don’t get that job #1 is helping others grow / Design that inspires is everything we do / More women in charge / Navy Seabee
I have been atTwitter user forever and ever. The time has come to let go. I plan to transfer my conversational affairs to Bluesky sky and I’m looking forward to meeting anybody and everybody. My last book was called: Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism. That’s my signature.
what if a US open and the guts to have themen’s final on Saturday and the women’s final on Sunday?
I have declared an end to Wold War II. As a WWIi baby, born in 1942, when Jews were being incinerated by Germans, I have always cut Israel 100% slack. They could do no wrong. But with the e recent horrifying activity in Gaza, World War II is over and the Israelis do not deserve an iota of slack.
Two most powerful words: THANK YOU. Hammer that into your head and the world will be your oyster. (I am barely exaggerating.)
It is hard to be optimistic, but I am hanging in there.
When stuff gets really messed up, I’m in the habit of saying “this, too, shall pass.” I wish I believe that right this minute.…
I get incredibly anxious about flights. Drives my wife crazy. I agree with her. On the other hand, my defense is that in my traveling days staff calculated that I took between 5000 and 6000 flights. If that doesn’t make a total mess of your head (and body) I don’t know what the hell would.
after all the “zingers“ I produced over the years, it’s strange that I am so.takken by this simple one, now on a sweatshirt I own: “excellence is not a skill. It’s an attitude.“❤️👍🎺💥⚡️
And born in a period of history and a place in which the default each year was progress and opportunity.
I have worked hard. I have accomplished a lot. But I never forget that I was dealt at least seven aces in my arrival hand: 1/White. 2/Male. 3/Protestant. 4/American. 5/Intelligent parents. 6/Honest parents.. 7/Hard-working parents.

Naval Academy boss fired. Harvey Milk’s name removed from a ship. Go Navy! Not❗️❗️❗️
speaking as a born and raised Annapolis boy, one more basis for my contempt of the current administration. The first woman to head the I.S.Naval Academy was just canned. How sad. How wrong. Grrrrrrrrr…
Way back 1000 years ago, the economist magazine created a “super (business) guru”: Rosatom Druckporter. Combining Rosabeth Kanter, Tom Peters, Peter Drucker and Michael Porter.
Tried to subscribe to MIT Sloan Management Review. Registration process all. F-ed up. WaytagoMIT.

Because consultants don’t make much selling that fix. It’s too easy. Need boards to hold leaders accountable- penalize and remove toxic CEOs.
Sunday morning leader sermon, with a little Navy slang thrown in: if you treat people with respect and decency and care, in 98.2 out of every 100 cases, they will work their effing asses off for you. (Why the F is this such a hard sell??)
Sadly, you are correct. But what if boards chewed gum AND waked at the same time? Think of the companies they could unleash.
