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.

🎉 Victory! The Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act has been signed by @GovInslee and is now law!

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this possible! 🧵

#waleg #cosmetics #PFAS, #phthalates #toxicchemicals #thread

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

BLACK SWAN EVENT

All da banks is locking arms to stop dis ...

Da Fed committed to a $2T infusion dat is currently pumping markets ...

Da dolla is done ...

Say hello to hyper inflation ...

Digital currency this year.
All da stimmy monies from 2020 hit da banks and per #BCBS regs they have to keep a certain % of da deposits in reserves.

Long-dated are typically da "Gold Standard" fer dis. They are usually a "Risk-Free" investment with enuff return to offset inflation.

It's a win-win fer all
Except last year, da @FedralReserve started hiking interest rates at a retarded rate.

Dis (1) Depressed Risk Appetite (2) Increased Demand fer Cash and (3) Cranked up Return on Short-term Gubment Debt

Da first 2 killed equities but da last one is da real killer.

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.

#Peru #copper # tin #zinc #lead
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.)
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.
From the report:
FDA limits arsenic in items like bottled water to 2ppb

yet

@HappyFamily's HappyBABY sold products w/ 180 ppb
@EarthsBest sold products w/ 129 ppb
@BeechnutFoods used ingredients w/ 913.4 ppb
@Nestle's Gerber used ingredients w/ 90 ppb

oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat… Text from page 3 of the House Subcommittee on Economic and CText from page 4 of the House Subcommittee on Economic and C
Also from the @OversightDems's report:

FDA limits #lead in items to 5ppb

yet

@HappyFamily's HappyBABY sold products w/ 641 ppb
@BeechnutFoods used ingredients w/ up to 886.9 ppb
@EarthsBest used ingredients w/ up to 352 ppb

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.
1/
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
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.

#bced #bcpoli #Lead
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.

Thanks @rhmcgarry!

Thanks to @GeoffCutmore & @cnbcKaren for having me on the show this morning.

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:-

#SquawkBox #CNBC #macro #equities #commodities
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.
Worth noting a rejection here could mean the Jan'19 formation is complete.
#SHFE #SHSZ
As the money floods into #China #equities, #bonds bear the brunt. Wealth Managers are the MOMO traders de jour "Our company's mixed products can have 60% allocations to #stock, but now we're at 70-80%. This is a normal phenomenon [sic]," said one.

#SHFE #SHSZ
This latest burst has also spared #CNY the ignominy of setting a new 12-year high above 7.18, instead pushing it briefly back through the talismanic 7.00 parity. Ergo, either locals are repatriating to get in on the action or Johnny Foreigner is being sucked into the move.

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

forbes.com/sites/lizryan/…
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

A positive thread on the need for #aspiration for the #future of our #food & #farming industry...

🚜 🐓 🐄 🐑 🍎 🥦 🌾 🌳 🐝

[1/9] Image
FARMERS 👩‍🌾

We’ve a lot to be #proud of in 🇬🇧 - but we can #aspire to #better.

More productive. More tech-savvy. More collaborative. More environmentally proactive.

Change is coming. We have to embrace it & lead the #change. Consumers respect us - that’s a big asset ✅

[2/9] Image
FARMERS, II 👩‍🌾

With #NetZero we have to step up. It will be difficult; hard decisions will have to be made. But we must show #leadership.

We can’t complain about the consequences of #ClimateChange if we don’t play our part.

And only Ag can act as a carbon sink 💨 🌱

In response to @AOC’s #idiotic assertion that #US operated #detention facilities are #concentrationcamps, @Liz_Wheller posted a comment that @PPFA abortion businesses are the #concentration #camps we have to worry about.
@EmmaBella212 took exception to her observation. I replied, observing that #blastocysts, #embryos, and #fetuses are #human #beings.
@EricBrown1982 takes exception to my assertion that #science defines the offspring of #human #parents as #human and/or my assertion that #science confirms that the #blastocyst, the #embryo, and the #fetus are all #living #beings.

Did You Know: To provide vital #oil across the English Channel after the #DDay landings, within months secret #pipelines were unwound from massive spools to reach French ports.
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
