Veteran Housing Corp reminds you that #HOMELESSNESS IS THE RESULT OF DECADES OF THE FAILURE TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL. THE HISTORY AND PRESENT STATE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN AMERICA CAN BE SUMMED UP IN ONE WORD: BROKEN DON'T BE FOOLED BY SLICK PROMOTIONAL POSTS THAT MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOUR LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS ARE SOLVING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS. WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THE PUBLIC AND TAXPAYERS MUST ASK: AT WHAT COST TO THE TAXPAYERS AND HOW LONG IS THE AFFORDABILITY PERIOD? EVERY TAXPAYER SHOULD BE ASKING THEIR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, density bonus increase, waivers of impact fees, or other government benefit or incentive did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project and, if the affordability period is not in perpetuity or permanent, WHY NOT? 3. What guarantees exist that tenants in the affordable housing units will not be displaced after an "affordability period expires? Any LOCAL, STATE or FEDERAL official that does not MANDATE "permanent" affordability periods or affordability "IN PERPETUITY" for any project receiving some government benefit is commiting MALFEASANCE and should quit, be removed from office or be terminated. IN MOST CASES WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, the public and taxpayer are being fooled into thinking their elected and appointed officials are solving problems, when in fact, all hey have done is "KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD" to burden a future generation with the same problem or crisis!

As we start this week, it’s the perfect time to refocus on the elements that keep us moving forward in a constantly evolving industry. At HMSI, it's not just about building products - it's about building a legacy of excellence that will inspire future innovations. Takahiro Honda, our Director and CPO – Production, captures this sentiment perfectly. Consistency, adaptability, and efficiency aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the backbone of every successful initiative we undertake. Whether it’s on the shop floor or in the boardroom, these principles ensure that our processes remain streamlined, our teams stay focused, and our output consistently meets the high standards we’ve set for ourselves. This week, let’s remind ourselves that the pursuit of excellence is a journey, not a destination. It’s about constantly refining what we do, embracing challenges as opportunities, and never settling. With each passing week, we don’t just compete with others - we compete with ourselves, striving to be better than we were yesterday. Let this Monday be a fresh start, a chance to build momentum through dedication and thoughtful execution. Whether you're tackling new projects, refining old ones, or pushing the envelope in your role, remember: it's the small, consistent efforts that lead to groundbreaking results. As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation, it’s our unwavering commitment to these values that sets us apart. Here’s to starting the week with intention, focus, and the drive to make every day count. #MondayMotivation #ExcellenceInProduction #InnovationJourney #Leadership #CommitmentToQuality

We are seeking urgent intervention and the interest of people or bodies responsible for this matter. DUOBBRAK is about to lose the "vitality" of patents for a market of 40 million "only" cars due to the economic shortage of the inventor and it will not be possible to do so https://lnkd.in/dMVFw_PR,  DUOBBRAK is successfully patented for USA EUROPE CANADA ITALY and is already a brand released in ITALY which - reduces rare components and materials needed for the transition - reduces stopping distances (to improve road safety given one victim every three hours, I remember that the European Parliament asks to halve them but the opposite happens), - reduces stopping distances even with any fault (given the over 1 million cars recalled for brake problems). - aims to reintroduce the proceeds deriving from the concession of use back into the economic fabric. We also emphasized that yes - reduce extractions that are harmful to the environment - costs per company e - costs for the end user - and also health, social and insurance costs - and waste disposal costs THANKS TO LESS SERIOUS COLLISIONS

HANNOVER MESSE is under 200 days away 🤩. The ISED HM25 team has been on 🔥this week as we continue to accelerate preparations with our partners. Here are 3 things we are telling our team consistently: 1️⃣ “I trust you to advance this work” 2️⃣ “What do you need me to do?” 3️⃣ “Let’s schedule time to talk this through” The reasons: ➡️ Trusting teams = high performance teams. Also when we have this many work streams going on we need people to feel empowered to demonstrate leadership at all levels. ➡️ Analysts and managers need to work to become independent as appropriate at their stage of career development. Asking “what do you need me to do” encourages us to lean in when they need help and BACK OFF when they are doing just fine. ➡️ Collaboration and connection lead to better results. (Although apparently we are too loud 😐 sometimes) 💥Shout out to Anthony (Tony) Hahn, MA, mMBA and Corinne Guenette who are on this journey with me.

How should you show up at an association event or conference? I had the privilege of attending the LeadingAge California BOLD Age Annual Conference this week. Jeannee Parker Martin, Kevin Tuuaga, Soua Vang, and so many others orchestrated a remarkable environment that fostered learning, growth, and most importantly, a sense of community among industry professionals. As a sales professional, I've often pondered about the best way to approach these events. What are my priorities? What do I hope to gain? What can I contribute? These questions have led me to some valuable insights over the years. Let me offer three suggestions . . . 1) Focus on making friends. Over the course of the 10 years that I have attended this conference, I've made lifelong friends. Individuals who would share a meal with me, visit me in the hospital if I was sick, and join me in celebrating some of the significant accomplishments of my life. This is the real value of these conferences—the friendships you develop over the years. 2) Make a contribution. Mary Muñoz from Ziegler received the Award of Honor because of her contribution to the association and its members over her long and distinguished career. I was inspired by how she “led to” and worked with the members side by side to elevate the experience of older adults. Yes, she sold her service and earned some business along the way, but not because of her slick one-minute pitch, but because she used her gifts, skills, and abilities to make a contribution to the members of the association. 3) Offer encouragement. Instead of leading with what you do, commend others for their work, their contribution to the industry, and their impact on others' lives. Most people don’t hear those things often enough (thank you, Tiffany Karlin) Play the long game. Invest. Help. Encourage. Support. And then, I think you'll find that good business, the right business, comes as a result.

My first boss at Hilti, Josef Zeidler always said: "We cannot develop people, we can only provide opportunities and environment for their own development". And this was a central motto for today, when E5 region had a day dedictated to talents' review with global colleagues from Energy&Industry business unit. What I see as real differentiator for Hilti is the fact that we always talk about different levels of talents and not only those whom we see ultimately feeding into very senior roles. We believe that all our people have a potential. The art is to understand what is that potential for. Giving people different opportunities to contribute or various tasks to be fulfilled, help them to better understand what they enjoy doing and by that having better outcomes. Additionally, it provides the great ground for the leadership to get more clarity on what is the right environment in which our people can get best out of themselves for their further professional and personal development. Thank you Reinhard Schindler, Gerry Boesch, Petr Hanuska, Dimitrij Lisak for your dedication to our talents and Judita Bihellerová for orchestrating the day. When I was watering my "little garden" on the balcony and looked at small pot with daisy, it brought back the impression of today. Different flowers, some higher, some shorter, some sprouts only, some blooming, some fading out but all contributing to little beauty in the white pot. Keep developing! #hilti #whereyourbestbelong #equity #inclusion #development
