Flipboard CEO @mike's life's work has been to make the content of the internet more easily accessible, from his time at Netscape in the 1990s to today. He talks to @scottmonty on the Timeless Leadership podcast about his early days in tech, and Flipboard's latest journey in the fediverse, helping creators move their content beyond walled gardens.
"A large and impressive study of children’s progress into adulthood found that those who display bullying and aggressive behaviour at school are more likely to prosper at work. They land better jobs and earn more."
As Boards Focus More on Cybersecurity, Are They Missing One of the Biggest Threats?
board members themselves, the people responsible for making sure a company is well-protected, could well become the weak link in an organization’s cyber defenses.
directors now have access to detailed tactical information about a company’s cyber defenses, in addition to a lot of other sensitive data.
(“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned … It has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”)
Funny — the journalists who spoke up said McDaniel’s departure was required to
🔸preserve their journalistic mission and the network’s credibility,
🔸not out of any need for “alignment.”
We can only hope that NBC and other news organizations take away something more than “don’t hire a MAGA mouthpiece”
A few ideas:
• Create a #mission#statement that affirms your goals are telling the #truth and defending #democracy, which protects the First Amendment — not fake balance. • #Stop#pretending four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump and his movement are presenting #alternative “#policies” as a normal party would. They are fighting for an alternate system: authoritarianism. • Politicians’ outright #lies must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.” • Instead of obsessing over #polls, devote extensive coverage to #analyzing the Heritage Foundation’s “#Project2025” and Trump’s #fascist#agenda. Feature #historians and political #scientists during news segments (not only on panels) to put Trump’s views and statements in context. • #Don’t excerpt a few words from a Trump rally or speech, dub it an “argument” and #ignore his mental short-circuits and #deteriorating#intellect.
So, I'm not sure if this is cause or effect, but its notable that new longitudinal research suggest, school bullies tend to earn more later in life....
I've remarked on the rubbish management in many British institutions before, so now (taking pay as a rough guide) we can see that bullies somehow are rising to the top & we might expect them to carry on with their school behaviour in the workplace.
A friend of mine, who is an airline #pilot, asked me why I took a rather harsh stance against #Boeing in their recent "troubles". The short answer is that I loathe their profit-driven #management philosophy.
The long answer is this. #Engineering inevitably affects lives, and engineering disasters kill not by ones and twos but by the thousands. A company who, for almost a century, have been manufacturing aircraft must hold itself to a higher standard than a fly-by-night web development sweatshop, when it comes to processes, especially those that affect safety. But Boeing, for the past 30 or so years, have raised #profits above #safety. This, I detest, as an engineer.
