The next Stride Virtual Office Hour is coming and I'm pleased that Simon Nicholls will be leading the discussion on the Top 5 Business Metrics to Manage -- maybe not what you think! You are invited to register here: https://lnkd.in/g6cnNuG . Limiting to 20 spots to keep it conversational. If you know you should be focused on the Critical Few (at the expense of the trivial many) but sometimes wonder what those "Critical Few" actually are, this is for you! …see more

This is a solid commitment to pushing progress forward HOWEVER there is ZERO mention of professionals with disabilities 😒 Yet again, this ignored community of ambitious warriors is left out of the DEI discussion. "Nasdaq will require boards to have at least one woman and one director who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or L.G.B.T.Q. (Those categories are not, of course, mutually exclusive.) To give companies time to comply, they will need to publicly disclose their board diversity data within a year of S.E.C. approval, and have at least one woman OR diverse director within two years. Bigger companies will be expected to have one of each type of director within four years. Companies that don’t disclose diversity information face potential delisting, while those that report their data but don’t meet the standards will have to publicly explain why. Over the past six months, Nasdaq found that more than 75% of listed companies did not meet its proposed diversity requirements." I hope NASDAQ reconsiders their communications and commitment to DEI programs by encouraging those with disabilities to apply with accessibility accommodations. https://lnkd.in/eReNkSv #diversity #inclusion #inclusiveleadership …see more

It would be easy to read the headline "Uber adds 911 button" and get snarky but Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is leading the company in the right direction. Yes, all of this should have been done long ago but that doesn't take away from it being done now. Does this get their brand out of purgatory? Not by a long shot but it's a good start. …see more

Yesterday, TikTok responded on Twitter to Instagram 's announcement of Reels (a new feature that attempts to copy TikTok. Their response, however, was to retweet Instagram's announcement. If you know me, you know that I am loathed to give competitors free advertising. So, I shared some thoughts on why, while this isn't a fatal mistake, it was also not a great idea for TikTok to take this approach. #tiktok #tiktokban #instagramreels #instagram #brandpositioning #socialmedia …see more

You know, where the loudest, most abrasive voice in the room is the victor? …see more
