Hi All,
I've recently completed a free online course on leadership from Coursera. Its course curriculum has been designed by IIM-A!
Though I came to know about various aspects of leadership through this course, I still perceive it as a completely different ballgame altogether.

Instead of what management experts and leadership gurus feel—no I'm not saying they are completely wrong—I've just a different way of seeing things.
My perspective on leadership is slightly different.

If you've read this post so far, please bear with me for a minute or two to clarify my viewpoints on leadership.
For your help, I'll provide my perspective in bullet points so that you can understand it better.

This law is the strongest in the country, banning #PFAS, #phthalates, #formaldehyde & #lead in cosmetics & personal care products that we use on our bodies & get sent down the drain. It's the only law in the nation that bans lead & tackles all chemicals that release formaldehyde.
.@SharlettMena, thank you for your leadership in sponsoring the Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act! #waleg

The darker side of dark chocolates
1. Dark chocolates are popular due to their potential health benefits (they are rich in anti-oxidants and are good for heart) and moreover, they are low in sugar content. >50% consider them as safer and healthier option (as compared to candies)

2. But there’s a dark side to this “healthier” #chocolate. Research has found that some dark chocolate bars contain cadmium and lead—two heavy metals linked to a host of health problems.
Consumer report scientists detected cadmium & lead in many dark chocolate samples tested.

3. Consistent, long-term exposure to even small amounts of heavy metals can lead to a variety of #Health problems. The danger is greatest for #pregnantwomen and young #Children because the metals can cause developmental problems, affect #brain development, and lead to lower IQ.
1. Communication: The ability to clearly and effectively communicate with others is essential for any leader.
2. Decision Making: Leaders must be able to make difficult decisions quickly and confidently.

So I tweeted a thread a couple of months back on how the election of a Communist President of Peru would seriously deter future mining investment, and put at risk existing production levels.
So I tweeted a thread a couple of months back on how the election of a Communist President of Peru would seriously deter future mining investment, and put at risk existing production levels.
I have quietly watched developments since, including the burning of mining camps, road blockades and this week's uncertainty on maybe cancelling some mine permits. Sadly for the long-term prosperity of the Peruvian people my fears are playing out.
Investors crave certainty - there is currently none. #Peru is now uninvestible for new foreign Western World capital going in.
So what is the Govt's game plan here? Here is what I think they are doing / will be doing:

We often search outwardly for #leadership advice. Another strategy is looking inward for advice: exploring the self might be more fruitful, and here’s why:
How we #lead is merely a projection of the self. If we take more time to explore and know our self (our beliefs, assumptions, values, opinions, fears, etc.), then maybe we can better understand the style and manner in which we lead.
Others have their own style and manner in which they lead. Their style, which is unique, is merely a projection of their values, their opinions, their fears and hopes—all unique. These projections will never mirror your projections.
Investing in #Tungsten
I start off each series on investing in a different metal talking about mineralogy – this will be no different! There are 2 commercially valuable mineral types in tungsten – scheelite (calcium tungstate) and the wolframite series (iron-manganese tungstate.)
I start off each series on investing in a different metal talking about mineralogy – this will be no different! There are 2 commercially valuable mineral types in tungsten – scheelite (calcium tungstate) and the wolframite series (iron-manganese tungstate.)
Scheelite is generally speaking easier and cheaper to recover than wolframite, mainly because it is recoverable via gravity and flotation means whereas wolframite only by gravity. Scheelite fluoresces which can make a trip to an underground #tungsten mine very interesting!
Both scheelite and wolframite are brittle meaning that they are liable to produce unrecoverable slimes during processing. These #tungsten minerals have a very high specific gravity though, of 6 g/cm3 and 7 g/cm3 respectively, making gravity separation relatively simple.
WTF. I am seething with anger. We buy foods for our baby from these companies. And they have been poisoning food with high levels of Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury.
According to a Congressional report the Trump FDA found out and did nothing.

NEW: #Indiana considering whether to legalize 14.4 ppb #lead in drinking water for #infants and #toddlers with House Bill 1045.
Bill here: iga.in.gov/legislative/20…
My perspective provided below. There's still time to fix a bad bill and protect Indiana's children.

2/ The current bill requires #preschool and #childcare facilities to conduct drinking water testing for lead. If lead "equals or exceeds 15 parts per billion" (ppb), they must reduce the lead levels.
Testing = Good
15 ppb lead = Bad
Testing = Good
15 ppb lead = Bad
3/ What do the experts say?
Well, the @AmerAcadPeds (doctors dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults says lead no greater than 1 ppb. (These are doctors who know #children's health)

If I were @jjhorgan, today I would:
1. Mandate masks in schools.
2. Shift schools to online learning in Fraser Health and Van Coastal.
3. Direct School Districts to use Federal Money to reduce class sizes and fix HVACs.
‼️Court case wouldn’t be necessary.

How "layers of protection" have changed since March. In order:
1) Distance
2) Masks
3) Ventilation
Hand washing etc is no longer in the top 3. When people state that masks are the weakest layer , they are out of date.

Here's a short thread of the notes - entitled, "Time to Get Real?" - which I put together in preparation.
They should hopefully be self-explanatory:-

You've heard it here before: pay out or pay down is a big part of the #inflation equation:-
Yes, there's a "V" - or at least a flipped square root sign - underway, but will it extend far enough & fast enough?
#China stocks roar on, with #CSI300 up ~20% in little more than a week as (official) #margin debt climbs Y150bln to touch Y1.3 trillion - levels only seen in the peak months of 2015's madness.

If focused on optics & what others think, you will not #lead or innovate. Fear of what others might say = fear & closed mindset that inhibits creativity, growth, #innovation
Wrong:
“Is this the right way to do it?”
“Do I look like ridiculous right now?”
“How will others see me?”

Weak leaders use fear to control and use a “without me....” narrative
They lack vision and fail to empower so amplify fear and may graphically describe worst case scenarios
Fear creates scarcity mindset that blocks creativity and shuts down expression

The epitome of fear-based, controlling leadership is a military dictator
like Iqbal Bano of Pakistan singing about accountability to Zia ul Haq
response to being silenced needs to be to dial up expression & retain self confidence, not go quiet

Bei Tönnies, wird weiter Fleisch in den Kühlhäusern verarbeitet.
Es kann ja nicht der FIRMA zugemutet werden, per Kühltransporter das Fleisch in andere Schlachtbetriebe zur Weiterverarbeitung zu transportieren!
"Warum nicht?"

Following the #DDay invasion– June 6, 1944 – Allied forces would need vast quantities of #petroleum to continue the advance into #Europe. Allied leaders also knew that petroleum tankers trying to reach French ports would be vulnerable to #Luftwaffe attacks...
A top-secret “Operation #PLUTO” – Pipe Line Under The Ocean – became the Allied strategy. It would fuel victory with #oil production from the #USA petroleum industry. The secret pipeline mission used a popular #WaltDisney character for its logo. #OOTT
