    The intense Arizona election audit confirmed Biden won and even extended his margin. The next day, at a rally, Donald Trump said that the recount proved he won the state. That is waaaaay beyond “a lie”—what would you call it?

    Farewell. I joined Jack Dorsey’s Twitter in December 2008. I have enjoyed virtually every Twitter-minute in the subsequent 15+ years. But the time has come to say goodbye. I cannot allow myself to be in any way connected to an Elon Musk venture. Musk’s vigorous support for a

    Didn’t realize what a shitstorm I’d stir up by reporting on research that concludes that men on average interrupt more than women, talk more and longer than women, etc. Such assertions bring out the asshole in the assholes.

    I am not an asset. I am not a human resource. I am not overhead. I am not an expense. I am not a cost center. Training me is not an expense. I do not belong on the liability side of the balance sheet. I am Tom. And Tom says, words matter, clean up your language, starting Monday.

    "Speed is everything in 2018" total bullshit: Relationships take time. Recruiting allies to your cause takes time. Reading/studying take time. Practice & prep take time. MBWA takes time. Thoughtfulness/small gestures take time. "The last 10%" takes time. EXCELLENCE takes time.

    I’ve thought a lot about the following. My Top 2 post-coronavirus dreams: (1) Never again a promotion of anyone to management who does not have a truckload of empathy (high EQ) & a demonstrated “PEOPLE FIRST” track record. (2) More more more women in senior leadership roles ASAP.
