America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Randall Bock – The critic has administrative authority, budgets, personnel, grant policy, and the constraints that come with governing. His old claims can be read beside his present stewardship. The argument of 2023 was that institutions must tolerate correction. The question after 2025 is whether an institution can be corrected from the chair at its head...

The conversation covers the topics of DevNets, network testing, protocol upgrades, and fork dates. It also addresses the issues related to P2P circuit breakers and the need for client releases. The discussion explores the challenges and considerations for scheduling the Cepolia and Hoodie forks, as well as the testing of direct connections to builders for mainnet readiness. The conversation covers the testing and integration of software on DevNets, the planning and scoping of EIPs for upcoming forks, and the discussion around the scope of EIP 8365. The scoping of EIPs involves client rankings, technical discussions, and considerations for future forks. The conversation also delves into the deprecation and force exit of zero validators and the implications of these actions. The conversation focused on the discussion and decision-making process for various EIPs, including forced exits, issuance changes, and broader community impact. The core developers emphasized the need for a comprehensive and inclusive decision-making process, considering the impact on stakeholders and the broader community.TakeawaysDevNets activation and testingProtocol upgrades and deprecation of network protocolsScheduling of fork dates and client releasesImportance of P2P circuit breakers for network securityTesting direct connections to builders for mainnet readiness DevNets play a crucial role in testing and integrating software for upcoming releases.The scoping and planning of EIPs for upcoming forks involves client rankings, technical discussions, and considerations for future forks.

Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Dr. Osman Ahmed about how concussion care has evolved for paraathletes, why standard tools often fall short, and what the new ParaScat 6 tools aim to fix. They also discuss the Concussion in Parasport Group, the importance of athlete input in research, and why clinicians should think differently about baseline function in athletes with impairments. Key Topics ·       In this episode, Dr. Osman Ahmed explains what paraathletes are and why the term matters when discussing concussion care. ·       We discuss why paraathletes were historically left out of concussion research and how that gap reflected broader patterns in sports medicine. ·       Osman breaks down why standard tools like the SCAT can be difficult to apply to athletes with amputations, visual impairments, spinal cord injuries, or wheelchair use. ·       He shares how baseline symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, or light sensitivity can be normal for some paraathletes and should not be assumed to indicate concussion without context. ·       We talk about the creation of the Concussion in Parasport Group and the first position statement that helped guide clinicians on assessment, management, and return to play. ·       Osman describes how the position statement used a practical color coding approach for tests: o   green for appropriate o   yellow for use with caution or modification o   red for not appropriate ·       We discuss the research and clinical gaps that led to the development of ParaScat 6 tools for wheelchair users and athletes with visual impairment. ·       Osman shares how athlete lived experience shaped the design, testing, and refinement of the new tools in real time. ·       He explains why the biggest shift for clinicians is to think carefully about baselines before doing post injury concussion assessments. ·       Osman also previews his presentation at the Sixth World Congress of Sports Physiotherapy in Bern and encourages clinicians to engage with paraathletes humbly and proactively.

President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing on Thursday morning after attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek and concluding state visits to Kyrgyzstan and Egypt.Officials and experts said the five-day trip, covering more than 20 bilateral and multilateral events across Central Asia and the Middle East, responded to international calls for peace, stability and development with concrete efforts, offering Chinese solutions and insights to a world of intertwined changes and turbulence.Speaking at a news briefing in Cairo upon the conclusion of the trip, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that with solidarity and cooperation as its central theme, the trip was significant for building consensus on cooperation and for reforming and improving global governance.In Bishkek, Xi attended the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO as the organization marked its 25th anniversary this year.At the summit, Xi announced that China would establish a China-SCO port economic cooperation center in Tianjin and a China-SCO basic education cooperation center, and implement 100 technological cooperation projects with other SCO countries over the next three years.Leaders of the member states signed and issued the Bishkek Declaration, approved the protocol on amendments and additions to the SCO Charter, and adopted 28 outcome documents covering areas such as security, economic and people-to-people cooperation, as well as organizational development.The strategic blueprint drawn up at last year's Tianjin summit is becoming a reality step by step, Wang said, noting that the SCO now has a more optimized structure, more efficient operation and stronger cooperation.According to Wang, in Kyrgyzstan, the two heads of state reached important consensus on further deepening the two nations' comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era and advancing the building of a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future. Bilateral relations are now at their best in history, he said.Wang said the most important political outcome of the visit was the signing of the treaty on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation. The treaty enshrines the two countries' commitment to lasting friendship in legal form and opens broader prospects for bilateral relations, he said.Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Zheenbek Kulubaev told reporters that as a result of Monday's meeting of the heads of state, Kyrgyzstan and China have raised the strategic partnership to a high-quality level of development.This reflects the high level of political trust and confidence between the two countries and their readiness to further deepen cooperation, he said.Xi's trip to Egypt was the first state visit to the country by a Chinese president in a decade and coincided with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.According to Wang, Xi has emphasized that China, whether in the past, at present or in the future, is Egypt's trustworthy and dependable comprehensive strategic partner.Wang described Xi's historic visit to Egypt as both a journey to renew friendship and one to expand cooperation, calling it a milestone that fully demonstrates the strategic and exemplary nature of China-Egypt relations.Zoon Ahmed Khan, a researcher at the Belt and Road Institute of Tsinghua University, said Xi's visit reflected an ongoing transformation in which the two ancient civilizations are advancing from mere markets and transit corridors into creators of their own shared agency."The true vitality of this partnership lies in its tangible momentum," she said, pointing to industrial hubs, local-currency financing, space technology and job-creating projects as examples of political trust being translated into productive capacity and practical South-South cooperation.Ayman Mohseb, a member of Egypt's House of Representatives, said that closer China-Egypt coordination could help ease regional tensions, promote dialogue and political settlements, and contribute to a more balanced and equitable international order.During his talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Xi put forward a four-point proposal on building a new security architecture in the Middle East via upholding a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security.He called for fostering the internal driving force for regional security, adopting a comprehensive approach to advancing common security in the region, consolidating the foundation for common security through development and strengthening international coordination.Wang also highlighted the cultural and people-to-people dimensions.Peng Liyuan, Xi's wife, took part in cultural activities with Aigul Japarova, the wife of the Kyrgyz president, and Entissar El-Sisi, the wife of the Egyptian president. The activities added a warm cultural dimension and helped strengthen mutual understanding, people-to-people bonds and cultural exchanges, Wang said.

"The very first thing that you have to do as a leader in Japan is to make yourself a team member." "You have to show them that you're here because you want to lead Japan, not because you want to lead." "Don't ask anyone to do anything you wouldn't do yourself." "You have to get to a level where you can show both knowledge and humility." "Once you show your people a path... they will follow you."   Doru Tasca is President and Representative Director of ZF Group in Japan, combining more than three decades of life in Japan with extensive leadership experience in the automotive industry. Born and raised in Romania, Tasca came to Japan at eighteen after winning a Japanese government Monbusho scholarship. He spent his first year studying Japanese at Osaka University of Foreign Studies before completing his university education in Japan. That early immersion gave him not only fluency in Japanese but also a deep familiarity with the cultural assumptions underpinning Japanese business. After initially teaching English, Tasca entered the automotive industry in 2005 with Japanese company Witech in Hiroshima, beginning in R&D before moving into sales and programme management. He subsequently joined Visteon and later Continental, where he worked extensively in automated and assisted driving technologies including cameras, radar and lidar. Tasca joined ZF in 2020 as Key Account Executive for Toyota. His responsibilities expanded until he became Head of Sales for ZF Japan at the beginning of 2025 and subsequently President and Representative Director, while retaining his sales leadership responsibilities. His career has been shaped by his ability to operate comfortably between Japanese and Western business cultures. Rather than treating Japan as a temporary overseas assignment, Tasca describes Japan as his home and believes effective foreign leadership requires understanding the language, culture, customers and people from the inside. Narrative Summary Leading successfully in Japan requires much more than importing global management practices and expecting local employees to adapt. For Doru Tasca, President and Representative Director of ZF Group Japan, effective leadership begins with becoming part of the team. Tasca's perspective comes from an unusual career. Arriving from Romania at eighteen on a Japanese government scholarship, he learned Japanese, studied in Japan and eventually built his entire professional career there. His first automotive role was inside a traditional Japanese company, where he experienced Japanese corporate life from the bottom upwards before moving into multinational organisations including Visteon, Continental and ZF. That background taught him an important lesson: Western leadership habits cannot simply be transplanted into Japan. Consensus building and nemawashi matter. Leaders must understand how decisions are developed and gain acceptance rather than relying solely on positional authority. Credibility also comes from being willing to do the work. Tasca believes leaders initially need to get their hands dirty so they understand what their teams actually do. Delegation should come later and must be explained carefully. Employees need to understand that work is being delegated because the leader trusts them and wants them to grow, not because the boss simply wants to unload unwanted tasks. This philosophy extends to decision-making. Tasca asks his management team to investigate problems, consult their teams, develop alternatives and return with a recommendation. If he accepts their recommendation, responsibility is shared. If he overrides it, he takes responsibility himself. This creates psychological safety around decisions while still encouraging ownership. Trust is another recurring theme. Tasca sees reputation as one of the most valuable assets anyone possesses in Japanese business. Trust takes considerable time to build and can be destroyed remarkably quickly. Leaders therefore need to demonstrate reliability through behaviour. Tasca attends meetings alongside his people, joins them when customer problems occur and makes himself visible throughout the organisation. Employees must see that their leader works with them rather than merely issuing instructions. He also emphasises accessibility. As president, he deliberately walks around the office and speaks with employees, even when the interaction lasts only thirty seconds. Japanese employees can be reluctant to approach senior leaders with problems, making it important for leaders themselves to reduce the psychological distance. For foreign executives, Tasca's advice is particularly clear: learn Japanese. Language is not simply a communication tool. It signals commitment and allows leaders to understand nuances that disappear when Japanese employees are required to operate entirely in English. Ultimately, Tasca defines leadership through example, humility and development. Leaders should never ask others to do something they would not do themselves. They must recognise that specialists around them will often know far more than they do and combine sufficient knowledge with the humility to listen. Most importantly, leaders must show people a path forward. When employees understand how today's difficult assignment contributes to tomorrow's growth, leadership becomes more than authority. It gives people a reason to follow. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan depends heavily on becoming accepted as part of the team rather than simply asserting hierarchical authority. Tasca argues that foreign leaders must demonstrate that they understand Japanese business behaviour, including consensus building and nemawashi. This requires hands-on involvement. Employees need to see that their leader understands their work and is prepared to share the burden. Only after establishing that credibility can delegation become genuinely effective. Japanese decision-making also places considerable importance on collective acceptance. Tasca asks managers to investigate issues with their teams, identify alternatives and recommend a solution. When he agrees, responsibility becomes shared. When he rejects their recommendation and chooses another direction, he deliberately assumes responsibility for that decision. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives can struggle when they arrive believing successful leadership practices elsewhere will automatically work in Japan. Tasca warns against behaving like a temporary expatriate who has come to collect several years of international experience before moving to another assignment. Japanese employees observe whether a foreign executive is genuinely committed to Japan. Leaders who remain isolated from employees, customers, language and everyday Japanese society can struggle to build the credibility required to lead effectively. Tasca's distinction is powerful: executives need to demonstrate that they came because they want to lead Japan, not simply because they want to be leaders. Is Japan truly risk-averse? The interview presents a more nuanced picture than simply describing Japanese organisations as risk-averse. Tasca's experience in the automotive sector shows companies managing uncertainty through relationships, consensus and long-term cooperation. Japanese automotive competitors may cooperate when earthquakes or other disruptions threaten production. Customers also deliberately bring competing suppliers together, creating relationships that may eventually enable cooperation when supply-chain problems emerge. Rather than seeing this purely as risk avoidance, it can be understood as strategic uncertainty management. Long-term relationships provide resilience when unexpected problems arise. What leadership style actually works? Tasca advocates visible, participative and accountable leadership. Leaders need to work alongside employees, understand their jobs and demonstrate that delegation is designed to develop people rather than dump work onto them. They also need to listen to criticism. Tasca argues that a person who cannot accept constructive criticism has no business being a leader and is merely someone who possesses power. Accessibility matters as well. Tasca makes daily rounds through the office and speaks with employees because people must feel comfortable approaching leadership with problems. The resulting style combines knowledge with humility. Leaders do not need to be the greatest technical expert in the room. They need enough understanding to evaluate expert advice, make decisions and empower specialists to perform. How can technology help? Technology is central to ZF's business, but Tasca's leadership lessons emphasise that technology does not eliminate the human component of management. ZF operates across advanced automotive technologies including automated driving, cameras, high-performance computing, braking, steering, suspension and transmissions. The company invests heavily in research and development and must persuade customers to adopt technologies that can initially be expensive. Yet commercial success ultimately rests on trust. Customers need confidence that the supplier will deliver reliably over decades. Technology may create the opportunity, but relationships, reputation and execution determine whether customers choose that organisation when the next technology arrives. Does language proficiency matter? For Tasca, the answer is unequivocally yes. His advice to a newly appointed foreign president is: learn Japanese immediately. Japanese employees may become more restricted when forced to communicate entirely in English, and important nuances can disappear. At ZF Japan, Tasca is the only foreigner and normal staff meetings are conducted in Japanese. He believes speaking Japanese helps employees communicate naturally and demonstrates that the foreign leader is making a genuine effort to understand the country. Language proficiency therefore contributes directly to trust, communication and leadership effectiveness. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Tasca's leadership philosophy can be condensed into a simple principle: do not ask anyone to do something you would not do yourself. Leadership also requires humility. There will always be people who possess deeper technical knowledge than the leader. The leader's role is to listen, understand enough to make sound decisions and trust capable people with responsibilities that help them develop. Employees also need to see where they are going. Tasca believes leaders must show people a career path and explain how difficult assignments will help them grow. When people can see that their leader shares the burden, listens, accepts responsibility and invests in their development, they will follow — including when circumstances become difficult.

CAPTION: 1890 PEKINGChina Rejects Global Trade ConsensusKamran Bokhari and Gordon Chang discuss China's refusal to sign a G20 finance ministers' consensus document, objecting to language targeting non-market policies that cause trade imbalances. Chang attributes this defiance to Xi Jinping's arrogance and belief in US decline. Bokhari explains that China is posturing ahead of a summit with Trump, utilizing command capitalism to flood global markets. Bokhari highlights a shifting security architecture in Asia, including Tokyo deploying fighter jets to India and Jakarta arming itself, driven by expectations of US retrenchment. Additionally, Xi Jinping maintains absolute control domestically through extensive military purges while building ties with Egypt. (2)

"You can't tell them to stop smoking if you have a cigarette in your mouth." "I think it's all about communication." "You need to expose them, but don't throw them into the lion's cage." "First, learn Japanese." "Trust and communication. You cannot govern by emails or rules. You need to talk. You need to explain."     Frederic Delsaux is Representative Director of PTS Japan, a project management and consulting company supporting foreign and domestic organisations with construction, audiovisual, infrastructure and IT projects in Japan, as well as managed services after project completion. His connection with Japan stretches back to his university years in France, where he specialised in the Japanese economy. Attracted by Japan's economic importance and its reputation for automobiles, electronics and manufacturing, he arrived in Japan around the end of 1989 and beginning of the 1990s, just as the bubble economy was beginning to collapse. His career in Japan began far removed from project management. He initially managed a French restaurant, where the necessity of communicating with Japanese customers and colleagues pushed him to learn Japanese. He later joined an import-export trading company before representing a French telecommunications hardware company in Japan. After the local branch manager suddenly departed, Delsaux was offered responsibility for the operation and effectively moved into leadership almost overnight. His telecommunications work brought him into contact with PTS during the early stages of its Japan operation. After seven to eight years with the telecommunications company, he joined PTS, initially in technical sales for telephony, before moving through sales and director-level responsibilities. He has now spent more than two decades with PTS. In April 2020, as COVID-19 was beginning to reshape business globally, the Japanese management team completed a management buyout from the UK parent organisation. PTS Japan became part of a Japanese-owned group while retaining the established PTS brand. Delsaux's career consequently spans technical sales, client management, organisational leadership, business ownership and the challenge of adapting global project-management practices to Japanese business realities.   Frederic Delsaux's leadership career in Japan demonstrates how credibility, communication and cultural adaptability can matter more than hierarchy alone. Having lived and worked in Japan since around the beginning of the 1990s, he has experienced the country through the collapse of the bubble economy, the Lehman shock, COVID-19, labour shortages and major changes in Japanese attitudes towards lifetime employment. PTS Japan specialises in project management across construction, audiovisual, infrastructure and IT projects. The business also provides managed services after projects are completed. Following a management buyout in April 2020, the Japanese operation became locally owned, while continuing to use the established PTS brand. Delsaux's route into leadership was unconventional. After studying the Japanese economy in France, he came to Japan and managed a French restaurant. Japanese was essential because the people around him did not speak French or English. He subsequently moved into trading and telecommunications. When a branch manager suddenly departed, he was offered leadership of the Japanese operation almost overnight. Speaking Japanese helped him gain trust among local employees, establishing an early lesson that language proficiency can carry cultural and leadership significance far beyond simple translation. At PTS, credibility came partly from experience and client relationships. Engineers and consultants knew that Delsaux understood the commercial environment and could communicate with decision-makers. His leadership philosophy nevertheless extends beyond expertise. As technology becomes more complex, leaders cannot be the deepest technical expert in every discipline. Instead, managers add value through communication, problem solving, risk reduction and helping technical specialists successfully navigate client relationships. That is particularly important because engineers increasingly need to operate directly in front of customers. Delsaux believes technical professionals should be progressively exposed to these situations rather than simply thrown into them. Supported experience builds confidence until the individual can communicate solutions independently. Trust is equally central. His analogy is memorable: a leader cannot tell employees to stop smoking while holding a cigarette. Leaders need to bring value to conversations with their people. Questions cannot simply be ignored, and employees need access to managers when problems occur. Externally, Delsaux stresses the importance of presenting a unified team to customers. Internal colleagues should not blame one another in front of clients. Trust can be quickly destroyed if different functions appear divided. Japan adds another layer. Consensus, communication and careful explanation matter. International methodologies cannot simply be imported without localisation. Leaders need to understand both the project and the people receiving the message. For executives arriving in Japan, Delsaux's first recommendation is straightforward: learn Japanese. The language also opens a door to understanding the culture. Beyond language, leaders need the right team, careful hiring decisions, regular contact with customers and an appreciation of the institutional knowledge already present inside the organisation. Ultimately, Delsaux reduces leadership to two closely connected concepts: trust and communication. Rules and emails cannot replace dialogue. Leaders need to talk, explain, listen and understand the challenges facing their people. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan requires unusually careful attention to communication, relationships and context. Delsaux's experience suggests that technically correct solutions are not sufficient on their own. International methodologies and global standards still need to be translated into a form that makes sense to Japanese clients and employees. Consensus is important, but the deeper issue is ensuring people understand what is happening and why. PTS therefore places substantial emphasis on sharing project information not merely with the immediate project team but more broadly across the organisation. Leadership also requires sensitivity to the customer relationships that Japanese employees may have spent years developing. What initially appears to an incoming foreign executive as unnecessary resistance may actually reflect employees protecting an important client relationship. Why do global executives struggle? Executives arriving from overseas can assume that practices which work at headquarters should transfer directly to Japan. The danger is judging local structures before understanding why they exist. Delsaux emphasises the importance of having the right team, while the broader discussion highlights the need to investigate why local employees work in a particular way before attempting sweeping changes. Language can compound the problem. An executive who cannot communicate in Japanese may become dependent on whichever employees speak English, regardless of their seniority or depth of business knowledge. Direct contact with a wider range of Japanese employees and customers provides a much richer understanding of the business. Is Japan truly risk-averse? The interview presents a more nuanced picture than simply describing Japan as risk-averse. Japanese clients often prefer people they already know because continuity reduces uncertainty. An existing project manager with deep institutional knowledge may therefore be preferred to a technically stronger replacement who does not know the customer. Delsaux sees this as a balance. Companies need institutional knowledge, technical competence and resource availability simultaneously. Waiting for a familiar individual may be impossible when project schedules are tight. The leadership task is therefore not simply to overcome uncertainty avoidance. It is to explain why a new approach or resource can still protect delivery quality and client interests. What leadership style actually works? Delsaux defines leadership around trust and communication. Credibility matters. Leaders need to contribute something of value when employees approach them. His smoking analogy captures the principle of role modelling: leaders cannot demand behaviour they are unwilling to demonstrate themselves. Accessibility also matters. Employees should not feel that questions will be ignored simply because they are inconvenient or unrealistic. Internally, Delsaux stresses unity. Disagreements can occur, but different teams should not attack or blame one another in front of the customer. Clients who entrust multiple services to one company expect a unified answer. How can technology help? Technology serves two leadership purposes at PTS. First, project managers and consultants must remain current because new technologies continually affect project delivery. Global designs also need localisation for Japan because products, standards, availability and infrastructure can differ. Second, technology creates development opportunities for employees. Repetitive work can become boring, particularly in a tight labour market where skilled people have many alternatives. New technologies give engineers and consultants something new to learn and help keep their work challenging. Technology therefore has value not only as a project tool but also as an employee-development and retention mechanism. Does language proficiency matter? For Delsaux, it matters considerably. His first advice to an incoming foreign leader is simply: "First, learn Japanese." His own Japanese developed out of necessity while working in restaurants where neither French nor English could be relied upon. He believes making the effort to learn Japanese earns respect from employees and strengthens relationships, even when team members already speak English. Language learning also provides access to culture. Delsaux particularly values people who are not merely bilingual but bicultural because they can understand how managers in different countries interpret the same situation differently. Even with strong Japanese ability, he sometimes brings a Japanese colleague to important meetings. This reduces misunderstanding and can also demonstrate respect towards a Japanese-speaking client. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Delsaux's answer is remarkably concise: trust and communication. Leadership cannot be exercised effectively through rules and email alone. Leaders need to talk to people, explain decisions, respond to questions and understand the challenges their staff are facing. The labour market makes this increasingly important. Employees who feel overworked, underdeveloped or bored now have alternatives. The old assumption that employees will remain indefinitely has weakened substantially. Leadership therefore depends on creating an environment in which people can learn, contribute, communicate and trust the people managing them. Technical competence remains important, but communication determines whether that expertise can be successfully translated into employee engagement and client confidence.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we're talking about the new veterinary sepsis definitions. Having clear definitions is crucial in making sure we're talking about the same type and severity of disease. Until now, our veterinary sepsis definitions have been largely adapted from human medicine. But let's be honest, our patients who have a talent for hiding illness don't always follow the same rules as humans. Having veterinary-specific definitions gives researchers a more consistent way to compare patients and studies, while giving clinicians a stronger foundation for recognizing sepsis, assessing illness severity, and shaping both today and tomorrow’s treatment recommendations.

In this episode, Asbel Montes, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Solutions Group Services, discusses the future of healthcare through the lenses of data, physician leadership and consensus-driven decision making. He also shares insights from his book In Plain Sight, emphasizing grace, transparency and leadership principles that foster stronger teams and better outcomes.

Nicole and Michael's latest episode blends practical updates with plenty of conversation-starters: from Nicole's colorful hibiscus-hedge growing tips and travel prep for Las Vegas, to Henry's upcoming surgery and the recovery supplies they're gathering. They also share updates on the Santa Fe, an Eley hose reel, and a growing collection of Lego décor, before unpacking Apple's new upgrade-leasing program and New York City's discounted, city-supported grocery stores. The episode closes with a more serious look at controversial school-safety technologies, community-run support through ChatTJB.org, and the expanding debate around Flock license-plate cameras and privacy.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week I'm joined by Karina Mangu-Ward, organizational design expert and author of Teams That Meet The Moment. Karina has worked with organizations ranging from PepsiCo and Chanel to Planned Parenthood and the Sundance Institute. Her work challenges a fundamental assumption about performance: that the individual is the unit we should be trying to optimize. I'm excited to share this conversation with her.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders looking to build stronger and more effective teams.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…organizations often try to solve performance problems by focusing on individuals: hiring a superstar, coaching an underperformer, or replacing someone on the team. But Karina argues that the real issue is often the system surrounding those individuals. She explains why teams, rather than individuals, are the true unit of value creation and how shared language, clear decision rights, and better teaming practices can help organizations move faster and learn more effectively. In this conversation, we also explore what happens when AI agents become part of the team and why automating a broken process can simply make the problem bigger.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Teams, not individuals, are the true unit of performance. Consensus isn't always the goal; decisions need clarity and momentum. Clear decision rights can make teams faster and more effective. AI amplifies the need for strong processes, roles, and collaboration.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…this conversation challenges the instinct to always look at the individual when something isn't working. Sometimes the most important thing to fix isn't the person, it's the way the team is designed to work together. And as AI changes how work gets done, that lesson is only becoming more important.   Running Time: 26:55   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Karina Online: LinkedIn Newsletter   Karina's Book:  Teams That Meet the Moment: 9 Practices for Unlocking Performance and Growth in Uncertain Times

How to Make Meetings More Productive and Effective Stop Wasting Time in Meetings: Focus on Decisions and Action Episode 318 (Mark is based in Toronto) Repeat of episode 167 In this conversation with Mark Ellwood we explore: why meetings should lead to decisions and action the responsibility of every meeting participant how to bring a wandering discussion back on track why different perspectives make meetings both difficult and valuable how precise instructions improve breakout discussions finding common ground during heated disagreements using veto values to uncover agreement empathetic listening before attempting to persuade asking whether people can live with a group decision knowing when to stop debating and gather more evidence drawing reluctant participants into the conversation using anonymous comments to uncover hidden concerns separating facts, feelings and speculation asking open-ended questions that encourage deeper answers creating equal voices despite differences in organizational rank when an outside facilitator can improve the meeting designing an agenda that progresses toward action ----- About our guest, Mark Ellwood: Mark helps organizations develop their strategic plan. He serves as facilitator, trainer, team builder and time study consultant. He is an inventor, a poet and a keen puzzle solver. Learn more about Mark and his services at https://getmoredone.com/ https://terrificteams.com/ ----- Key Lessons from this converation with Mark Ellwood: The purpose of most meetings is to bring stakeholders together to make decisions that lead to action. A meeting should produce something different after people leave the room. Different perspectives create challenges in meetings, but those differences also create value. Every participant has the right and responsibility to improve the dynamics of the meeting. You don't need to chair the meeting to ask for clarity or bring a wandering discussion back on track. Give breakout groups precise questions and a defined format for their answers. When disagreement becomes heated, identify the values and facts that participants agree on. Empathetic listening helps people understand opposing positions before attempting to resolve them. Consensus doesn't require everybody to prefer the final decision. Sometimes the useful question is, "Can you live with that?" When the group lacks the information required to make a decision, stop debating and gather the necessary evidence. A break can provide space for people to reconsider positions and have useful informal conversations. Watch the body language of participants who haven't spoken. Silence doesn't necessarily indicate agreement. Anonymous written comments can surface concerns that participants hesitate to voice publicly. Feelings deserve acknowledgement. Instead of arguing with someone's feelings, ask questions to understand what lies behind them. Use open-ended prompts such as "Tell me more" and "Paint me a picture" to move beyond superficial answers. Separate facts from feelings and speculation when evaluating an issue. Review past performance by asking: What happened? What did we learn? What does this mean for the future? Establish meeting ground rules that give participants an equal opportunity to speak and be heard. An outside facilitator can reduce the influence of organizational baggage, hierarchy and established relationships.

Keagan McClellan (Keags) co-founded Start9 Labs, worked on Sapio with Jeremy Rubin at Judica during the CTV saga, spent time at Lightning Labs maintaining LND, and is now building BTC Verified, a formal specification and verification project for Bitcoin's consensus rules written in Lean 4. He is also a self-described member of Bitcoin's "progressive wing" who nonetheless defends the rising bar for consensus changes, a pluralist who spends all his working hours on Bitcoin, and a security thinker who refused to dunk on Coldcard even while sitting across from someone who very much wanted him to.

One of the best parts of not being a covering equity analyst anymore is not having to process the deluge that is quarterly earnings season. But we have kept the discipline of reading transcripts for a wide swath of companies. As always, we want to provide our longer-term perspectives on the sectors and corporate strategy. Here are six areas where we would most push against what we think are consensus narratives.* Resist pro cyclical capital return narratives, especially in deeply cyclical sectors like we know exists in refining. * Differentiate companies that might be in need of restructuring, typically exemplified by having sub-scale businesses that are earning sub-par returns on capital, versus believing every non-pure play needs to become one. * The Strait of Hormuz may never return to pre-war “normal.” * What are the growth opportunities companies should be leaning into?* Power sector growth is economic growth. Economic growth is geopolitical security. * We are concerned about energy policy risk in the United States. There is no more important sector in the world than those involved in energy and power. It's a hedge to Tech. It's an enabler of tech growth. It's a geopolitical hedge. It's about as exciting a time as we have experienced in our 34-year career. Even now, reading upwards of 80-90 earnings season transcripts is borderline fun.

In this episode of Dean's Chat, Dr. Johanna Richey sits down with residents from the Kaiser San Francisco Bay Area Podiatric Surgery Residency Program for an inside look at one of the nation's premier residency programs. Third-year residents Airam Caldera and Elena Ion, second-year resident Noah Brennan, and first-year resident Manav Beniwal share their unique journeys to podiatric medicine while offering candid insight into what makes the Kaiser training experience distinctive. Throughout the conversation, the residents emphasize that choosing a residency extends far beyond case numbers or reputation—finding a culture that aligns with your learning style, values, and career goals is equally important.The discussion highlights the program's collaborative culture, where mentorship, teamwork, and psychological safety allow residents to progressively develop autonomy while always knowing support is available. The residents describe a structured "buddy call" system that pairs senior residents with interns, fostering confidence, real-time teaching, and peer mentorship during the critical transition from student to physician. As responsibilities increase each year, residents gain experience not only in clinical decision-making but also in leadership, communication, scheduling, and teaching, preparing them for independent practice.The group also explores the program's educational philosophy, emphasizing surgical principles over procedural memorization. With broad exposure to trauma, reconstructive surgery, diabetic limb salvage, total ankle replacement, pediatric pathology, clubfoot management, and elective foot and ankle procedures, residents develop a well-rounded foundation while learning to critically evaluate multiple treatment strategies. They discuss how progressive responsibility, increasing call experience, and exposure to diverse patient populations across multiple Kaiser facilities create confident, adaptable surgeons prepared for virtually any practice environment.Academic development remains a central focus of the residency. The residents describe a structured curriculum featuring monthly didactics, hands-on surgical labs, journal clubs, and required research projects that encourage lifelong learning and scholarly contribution. The conversation also explores the growing role of artificial intelligence in medical education, highlighting tools such as Open Evidence and Consensus as valuable resources for efficiently identifying literature and clinical guidelines while reinforcing the importance of critical appraisal and independent clinical judgment.Throughout the episode, recurring themes include growth mindset, resilience, communication, and earning trust through preparation, humility, and honesty. The residents reflect on how learning to become comfortable with uncertainty ultimately builds confidence, while mentorship from dedicated faculty creates an environment where mistakes become opportunities for growth. Whether discussing residency selection, research, leadership, or patient care, the conversation offers valuable insight for students considering residency and serves as a compelling example of how thoughtful training, strong culture, and collaborative learning prepare the next generation of podiatric surgeons.https://residency-ncal.kaiserpermanente.org/residency/podiatry/bayarea/

For decades, we've been told that eating less fat is one of the healthiest things we can do. That advice reshaped the foods we buy, the way we think about weight loss, and even how parents feed their children.But what if we misunderstood fat in the first place?In this episode, nutrition researcher Dr. Arne Astrup traces how the war on fat began, why many of its core assumptions haven't held up under decades of research, and what we've learned instead. Rather than asking whether fat is "good" or "bad," he argues that the more useful questions are: What foods actually keep us healthy? Why do some people gain weight more easily than others? And what happens when we reduce nutrition to single nutrients instead of whole foods?Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠
