I really like (and am challenged by) Dan Ariely’s modification of Hanlan’s Razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by human fallibility”.

Excited to debut a brand new session this morning for a charity executive team! "Elephant Hunting (and other things good leaders prefer to avoid)" This pic is from years ago at the offices of @muskokawoods . The plush elephant is taller than I am. Brilliant!!!

This is a good thread about a frustrating thing in the Narnia chronicles. Timely as we anticipate how Greta Gerwig will handle the series.

I believe your organization is unique. I also believe that can be an excuse to avoid being accountable for dealing with problems that others have solved successfully. #leadership #healthyorganizations #charity leadwithcatalyst.com/insights/so-un…

What were they thinking? Few leaders are stupid, even fewer are evil. So why do so many make so many dumb decisions? I think I know a major contributing factor, and what to do about it. #leadership #charity leadwithcatalyst.com/insights/what-…
