Three key attributes of great leaders: Think “We” first, not “me” first; Believe a rising tide floats all boats, not zero sum game, and; Seek first to understand (Empathy), then to be understood. We all have the capacity to be great leaders! #Leadership #Duty #Honor #Country 🇺🇸

Liberal democracy works. It’s never been purely linear, but it’s always moved up and to the right over time. Worth being patient with, and fighting for. Choosing the “harder right” over easy wrongs is… hard, and freedom has never been free. ✌🏾 #Duty #Honor #Country #Leadership

"We’ve seen frightening reversals to the progress of liberal democracy over the past 15 years, but setbacks do not mean that the underlying narrative is wrong. None of the proffered alternatives look like they’re doing any better," writes @FukuyamaFrancis: on.theatln.tc/clXvkXg

Choosing the “harder right over the easier wrong” is, well,… hard. But as my classmate @daveanderson88 said so eloquently, “You can’t call it courage if the only time you speak up is when you think you can’t be hurt by it.” #MLKDay #Leadership #Duty #Honor #Country 🇺🇸✊🏾✌🏾

🧵 A thread of #MLK speeches, sermons and interviews in which he tells inconvenient truths, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #MLKDay2022

Sports teach so much more than the physical skills required to succeed. Grit, determination, perseverance, honor, integrity, and the belief in something bigger than yourself, namely the team and your teammates. Leaders are born upon the fields of friendly strife. #Leadership 🏈

Legend. I can still hear the echoes of "Don't confuse effort with results, WOOD!" as I picked myself up off the turf. I'm a tougher, more resilient entrepreneur because of Coach Alvarez.

Warriors always love their fellow soldier more than they hate the enemy. Do we really need an enemy, a country, ideology, movement, religion, a virus, to do that? Great leaders rally those around them “FOR” something, not against. Love leads. Fear and hatred retreat #Leadership

@Martin_Dempsey Leadership is about love. When people feel loved they feel safe. When safe (not comfortable and complacent) they feel courageous. And courage leads to extraordinary outcomes. Keep it coming, Sir.

We stand on the shoulders of giants. Brave men and women who endured great hardships that we may have better lives. Our deepest empathy does not capture their pain and suffering, yet they lived happy and fulfilled. 👇🏾From the brother of a dear friend @RepJeffries #NYULaw 😔💪🏾🙏🏾😇
Hasan Kwame Jeffries@ProfJeffries

Dear friends, most of you know about my brother Hakeem - (he's the older one, i'm the prettier one). But you don't know about my brother Dave. Dave was born a year after Hakeem and year before me - when my parents brought me home, I met both my brothers at the same time.

@HBSAlumni Interesting response. The video speaks to public equity, large private equity, government, credit, and monetary policy. While I have an opinion, that’s not my lane as an early-stage #VentureCapital investor. Better suited for my fellow hedge fund and public equity alums. Cheers!
