You might like (not mine) this article at @thearmyleader, lots of similar content. Clearly a universal truth: poorly run meetings make people introduce their eyeballs to pins or cocktail sticks!! Arguably even more important for virtual/hybrid meetings. thearmyleader.co.uk/nail-you…

A bold - but true - statement from @JMMontgomeryCo: ‘Saying “I don’t know” isn’t a sign of ignorance. It’s a sign of confident humility.’ How comfortable are you saying it?
One of the most powerful statements we can ever make in our business and our life is "I don't know." In a world full of people who seem to be under the undeniable impression that they know everything, a person who can say, "I don't know," is a breath of fresh air.

Hi! I’m Lt Kayla Haas, a Marine Communication Strategy & Operations (COMMSTRAT) Officer and — when time allows — a whiteboard enthusiast. I saw a rise in followers this weekend (so grateful!) and thought I’d share a thread on the evolution of my whiteboard.

My Cadre (1985 Cyprus) involved way too much bulling and inspections. Being pulled up for sand in the room was just stupid. But I remember the leadership lessons to this day thearmyleader.co.uk/pnco-pro…
