Culture

The killing of ethnic minorities anywhere is the killing of oppressed people everywhere.

Iyas A · Jun 5, 2020 ·

The killing of George Floyd is unconscionable not just for its brutality and inhumanity, but for its inevitability. Because in societies whose actions value the lives of some less than others, oppression doesn’t start with a policeman crushing a neck. It takes deeper roots to lead to these kinds of outrages. Sometimes it is blatantly […]

Leading in Crisis (4) – Be open

Iyas A · May 21, 2020 ·

Out of 7 roles of authority, business leaders currently rank last in public opinion of response to the Covid Crisis. Behind journalists. Behind government leaders. Why is that?

Iyas A · Mar 6, 2019 ·

Treat your team as individuals, rather than your company as a “people business”. I’ve been rereading two books by Oliver Sacks, “Awakenings” and “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat”. Both are wonderful books, as enjoyable in the second reading as they were when I read them first over 2 decades ago. I’m […]
