100% ⬇️ “Complex problems demand certain qualities in the leaders facing them: curiosity (b/c answers aren’t known), collaboration (b/c those lowest in the hierarchy usually have the most useful on the ground info about a problem), and experimentation” https://t.co/TGrNO3ynfY

“The leaders we admire, the leaders we follow are the ones that we know will sacrifice their interests to take care of us. The perks of leadership are not free. They come at the cost of self-interest. They come at the cost of taking care of those in our charge.” ~ @simonsinek

This could be very good news. Excited for the @CDS_GC. Every country has to figure out their own strategy. Closer to the channels feels like a good move.

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

So many people ask me why someone who could work at Google or wherever would CHOOSE to work in government. @laurenalisa explains it so well here. It's not just "giving back." It's what you get, too. https://t.co/8G3ZK3V9Jf

Definitely enjoyed this read, esp the bits about coalition building 🏘️ “As soon as your work depends on others and their willingness to change, you are in the business of coalition building.” #GCDigital #BCDigital #GCData
