Acknowledging the weaknesses of your argument makes it stronger. Admitting flaws signals confidence and builds credibility: it shows you care more about getting it right than proving you're right. If you think your case has no flaws, your thinking is flawed. #WednesdayWisdom

The most underrated leadership skill is management. A bold vision goes nowhere without setting clear expectations, involving people in decisions, and giving actionable feedback. To become a great leader, start by being a good manager. #SaturdayMorning

Closed-minded leaders are threatened by evidence that challenges their beliefs. Open-minded leaders are receptive to new evidence. Curious leaders take the initiative to gather new evidence. #SundayMotivation

A key question the Emergence Capital team always gets asked by entrepreneurs: “what have you seen as major reasons companies fail, especially in the early days?”

.Donald J. Trump, Please stop injecting yourself into crises. Don’t try to tell governors what to do. Instead of calling for calm & for the nation to unite, you were sequestered in the White House basement & silent. Governors and mayors, on the other hand, were actively (1/5)

Donald Trump enables and empowers racist hate every day he holds office. But let’s be clear: One man is not the root of these protests. The root of these protests is a country that has let racism flourish for generations — a country complicit in the taking of Black lives.

We talk about going back to normal. But normal is broken. Normal is essential workers not paid a living wage. Normal is health care the sick cannot afford. Normal is a country that let George Floyd die. We can’t go back to normal. We must decide to build something better.
