Politics
The how matters. Understanding how the electorate changed matters, but reflecting and embracing the deeper why's is the better guide for how to reimagine the Democratic Party and our campaigns.
Generative Society
What might mothers and mothering reveal to us about a better model for economic kindness and innovation?
How we think about what's not working in our civic life might offer a very different long-term path to something better even while the short-term demands we live in and confront our unrelentingly dysfunctional present as directly as we can.
Strategy
We've probably all heard this quippy, quotable faux-Drukcer-ism. (And maybe I'm just thinking about Easter brunch...) But why might this old cliche actually be true and how might that help illuminate what's happening and maybe not happening in our teams and organizations right now?
Politics
What does "moderate" or a "Moderate" or "to moderate" really mean in American civic life? Even if we could figure out which one means what, I don't think it's the guide we need.
Culture
Let's start with the assumptions about the smallness of a zero-sum mindset and the ambition of abundance for everyone ... and then keep going.
Politics
How we look for leadership matters. Replacing Sen. Schumer as the Senate minority leader might be warranted (even needed) but isn't the right answer to the right question we should be asking about the leadership we need right now.
We are headed down an AI-accelerated path toward hyper-efficient society and teams that lack the openness, freedom, and creativity of high-context cultures.
Democracy
How Micah Bornfree's Unified Theory of Revolution combined with a dimension of time might could help us make sense of the work confronting us and keep us moving toward the nation we need.
The highest court in the land not only decides our most fundamental constitutional questions, their power to choose which cases they hear at all fundamentally shapes our civic culture and discourse in largely silent ways.
We need adaptable, creative strategies to confront the challenges and embrace the opportunities we are facing and that kind of adaptable creativity only emerges from diverse teams.
Democracy
Why continuing to try to predict the future in a moment of impossibly heavy uncertainty might be one of our keys to changing course.
