For my physician friends... The @PhysiciansLead published this article written by @CrummerBusiness colleague Kimberly Smith-Jentsch and me which reflects a study on Physician Leader Development, based on my doctoral thesis. This is the first of five articles that we wrote that
This study compares two development models — physician-only cohorts and inter-professional cohorts — revealing how mixed learning environments can strengthen communication, trust, collaboration, and even reduce self-perceived burnout. Read article 👇 https://t.co/a6V95ndZzW

Thanks to my friend @JeffStorobinsky here’s the 24 minute conversation with @MargaretHoover. I learned it’s called firing line for a reason; rapid fire questions.

"You can't see any of our values in the current [Trump] National Security Strategy," says Ret. Lt. Gen. @MarkHertling. "And if we're not living by our values, then we are going to turn away from who we are as a nation." FRIDAY @PBS Local listings: https://t.co/yjV9uYyL5J

Speak up. Spend freely. Tell Congress to create a de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin that allows us to spend our money on gas, groceries, and everyday costs with no strings attached. Act today.

"I understand why the fear feels plausible. I also know that the same tune has been heard multiple times before in NATO’s history. Yet every time, the strong security alliance has always bounced back." @MarkHertling on the non-death of NATO: https://t.co/KCbmdU5vuj

Anyone who disparages the future of @NATO or the importance of the American role in the alliances is strategically short sited. My latest in @BulwarkOnline

.@MarkHertling: "I've conducted these kind of strikes. It's easy to release these videos and sanitize it…This was September 2 — if the military hasn't sanitized that video already, there's something wrong."

.@MarkHertling: "Nothing in my mind justifies a second strike on this…This is the kind of thing that will take our allies and push them away from us…So we're losing more than just the argument on illegality in terms of what's being done in this campaign."

Seems like an article I did in the @BulwarkOnline in September said this first.

And he should be called out on that claim every time he makes it.

I’d rather be at the one with Admiral Holsey; that one will be critical.
New: Secretary of Defense Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine and SecState Marco Rubio are expected to brief the Gang of 8 lawmakers on Tuesday afternoon, per two people with knowledge. Separately, outgoing Southern Command commander Adm. Alvin Holsey, who is

Read @MarkHertling's assessment of Trump's new National Security Strategy, only @BulwarkOnline:

Without explaining how national means can be used to achieve desired ends, the strategy is just empty rhetoric.

.@MarkHertling on the White House's new National Security Strategy: "It's weak. It comes off with very bad intelligence, bad conjecture — the opening page has to do with proclaiming all the victories that President Trump has done…and that's the basis for the entire document."

.@MarkHertling on the double-tap strike : "Trump specifically said he would release [the video] as soon as possible, and today he's saying he never said that. It's like a little child lying about stealing cookies."

NEW: The new National Security Strategy lists bold ambitions. But, as @MarkHertling warns, it skips the most important part of any strategy: how to achieve them. Without credible ways to match our ends and means, it’s rhetoric; not real guidance. https://t.co/QiLmxDaFZP

I don’t know this person, but this is the same argument I made to congress, NSC, think tanks & the media in 2011, arguing to keep another brigade in Europe. We have forces in Europe because of alliances but also because we gain great advantage. We’re about to lose that.
WARNING: LONG THREAD 🧵 Dear Americans, Your political and media class has sold you a very convenient fairy tale for decades - the tale of how your tax dollars pay to defend freeloading Europe. While it's an emotionally satisfying narrative, it's also wrong. THE U.S. DOES NOT

President Trump says it perfectly. A patchwork of 50 different state systems creates a maze of conflicting regulations, resulting in chaos. Follow me to join the conversation on leading the AI revolution.
