“
While it might sound counterintuitive at first, […] narcissists, who tend to feel “quite empty,” put all of their emphasis on a look that they feel like, in this case, makes them worthy — with others, the emphasis might be on power. [T]he “seed of narcissism” an emptiness [like] a shell with nothing inside [seeks validation via] the external, how they look and how others perceive them. In other words, it’s a “desperate grab for attention” that they hope will instill feelings of self-love, but unfortunately, narcissists don’t understand that loves comes from more than how you look.

Future of education

What will be the future of (higher) education?

What will separate a group of passionate, qualified educators from the unqualified? 

One perspective looks to accreditation bodies to grant legitimacy.

Because my employing university is currently undergoing (re-)accreditation, I’ve been looking into the different accreditation bodies for business schools.

AACSB AMBA (UK)EQUIS

If I were in their shoes (the accreditor’s), what would I want to look for in 2020 vs. 2010 vs. 2030?

The education field is quickly evolving.

I felt at the beginning that I did have a lot to offer… that there were many things that I was interested in. And over time so much of that creativity got muted.

And it was really hard to counter his accolades and accomplishments. I couldn’t say, like hey, I really like… drawing. And I promise you one day I’m going to make comics… and draw things that will make people happy. You know, because it was so… I just hadn’t have time to do it yet. 

And I had to keep a faith that one day I would get to a place that I could finally do the things that I love.

Chanel Miller in her Fortune interview (minute 11:40)

The full excerpt:

It was so frustrating because the assault happened [at a time when] you’re beginning to form and identity and explore different things. […]

And I felt at the beginning that I did have a lot to offer… that there were many things that I was interested in. And over time so much of that creativity got muted.

And it was really hard to counter his accolades and accomplishments. I couldn’t say, like hey, I really like… drawing. And I promise you one day I’m going to make comics… and draw things that will make people happy. You know, because it was so… I just hadn’t have time to do it yet.

And I had to keep a faith that one day I would get to a place that I could finally do the things that I love.

But it was really difficult at that time to feel like I didn’t know how to prove my worth. And in my book, I talk about how in court, they had a big white piece of paper and there was a timeline on it and I had to write down the time when I called who and blah blah blah. And the jury’s sitting over there. And I thought, I wish the jury could like, yell out animals and objects and then I would like draw them and be like, look, I can do this, like, live! I can make all  these things, and all of that that was being suppressed and it killed me, for a long time.

I think was helped, coming out, is the book. I felt confident that I would have something that would anchor me.

“
Their kindess allowed me to relax and I knew there was apology in what they were doing, in the gentleness with which they touched me, ‘I’m sorry this is happening.’ They didn’t have to say it. They cared for me. And I also felt extremely safe in those few hours. Even though it was extremely invasive and painful. I felt that if anyone at that time would have come after me they would just put up a wall and fight for me right then. If you can create that space for a survivor extremely after it happens, you will save her in that moment.

I would say that no matter your blood alcohol level, there is no point in which you say, ‘Okay, now you forfeit bodily autonomy, 'now you’ve had this much to drink, anyone gets to do whatever they want to. That limit does not exist. If you drink too much, you deserve to have a really, really bad hangover. That’s on you. And I’m happy to accept that. But at no point is it okay for someone to stick their body parts into you because you’ve had too much to drink. That will never be okay.

“
When you say, ‘you need to change your behavior,’ you’re basically saying 'don’t let yourself be the drunkest one, let it happen to somebody else.’ You’re saying 'don’t let it be you, just pass it on to someone else.’ So we’re never going to reduce the number of rapes. That means all the rapes stay exactly the same, we just go through our life hoping, 'oh, I hope it’s not me.’ But it’s still going to happen to everyone else. So I’m not interested anymore in critiquing these individual things. These are not isolated incidents. We’re not going anywhere as long as we do that. So I’m done with that way of thinking.

The perfect [rape] victim does not exist. We’re all thinking, oh if I had just had been less drunk or maybe if I had been a virgin instead. It doesn’t matter! The perfect victim does not exist.  And we’re trying to achieve some unachievable, unattainable thing.

Leader as architect - Designing the right structures and environments in which others can thrive;
Leader as conductor - Shifting away from any person being the boss to the work itself being the boss;
Leader as coach - Shifting away from monitoring work and providing oversight and towards guiding a learning journey where both accountability and safety are held simultaneously

Michael Y. Lee in his blog post “ How to become less-hierarchical within a hierarchical structure”

These are wonderful reminders of why being a founder is so exciting. Monitoring is not yet a priority, formal hierarchies are still forming and unburdened leaders can actually (co-)lead and explore with their team.
