If You Silence Dissent, You Silence Innovation. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The strongest decisions I’ve ever made came from the conversations that made me uncomfortable, I learned the hard way that silence isn’t loyalty; it’s the first sign that people no longer feel safe telling you the truth.As I write this, three major news organizations have been barred from covering the current administration in person because their reporting doesn’t align with what the leader wants to hear. I’m not here to litigate the politics, you should always confirm details with trusted sour
When Experience Disappears, Judgment Fades: The Leadership Risk Ahead. (opens the original)
