The business I run is tiny compared to those run by these 90 business leaders but I happily associate with their endorsement Vice President and former Senator, Attorney General and District Attorney KAMALA HARRIS... We endorse Kamala Harris's election as President of the United States. Her election is the best way to support the continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy. With Harris in the White House, the business community can be confident that it will have a President who wants American industries to thrive. As a partner to President Biden, Vice President Harris has a strong record of advancing actions to spur business investment in the United States and ensure American businesses can compete and win in the global market. She will continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment, and she will strive to give every American the opportunity to pursue the American dream.

As we enter 2024, associations face increasing competition for member engagement and revenue. We polled our panel of association executives and CEOs and found they were evenly split on whether their organization has a well-defined competitive advantage. What trends or strategies do you think associations should prioritize this year? Who do you think is responsible for ensuring the organization has a competitive advantage? The volunteer leadership? The staff? Both? What opportunities and challenges do you foresee? I welcome perspectives from other association executives and industry observers. https://lnkd.in/gFJqCHGS

This interview with and about Gordon Brown, for whom “public service is a privilege to be earned…” has lots of great lessons about #power and #leadership. It is the comments below the article, though, that produce this absolute gem of a quote: “To be PM you have to have a special skill set: Intelligent, but not an intellectual. Ruthless, but not unethical. Pragmatic, but not without principles. Idealistic, but without illusions. Open to opposition, but decisive. Optimistic, but without wishful thinking. Visionary, but practical. Cold, but with the appearance of a warm heart. Attention to detail, but with the ability to to see the big picture. Rational, but instinctive. Emotionally intelligent, but not emotional. Above all, the experience to form correct judgement, and the judgement to analyse events.” And I would add “hard-working, but making it look easy.” Which makes it self-evident why the practice of leadership and the exercise of power are so freaking hard. #leadership #power #leadershipqualities
