BRITAIN’S NEW PRIME MINISTER SHOWS YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A NATURAL COMMUNICATOR. Britain’s new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is clearly proving himself to be a highly impressive politician. But as a communicator he’s not exactly electrifying. For those in the business world seeking to get to a higher level, there may be something gratifying in this.

All council decisions are majority vote, but... Is backchanneling council discussions a good idea? If you're a council member who is in the minority opinion on a given topic is it a good/recommended idea to privately attempt to sway another council member to build support or should all conversations be held infront of each other? Discuss! #strata #management #consensusbuilding #groupdecisionmaking

Never thought the day would come that I would agree with anyone from the Heritage Foundation on something, but here we are. When you are a political staffer, you are there to serve not dictate. Don't like it? Then work in another field or run for office yourself.
