Another deeply mentally ill man, armed with a military semi-automatic rifle, commits mass murder. This isn’t hard. a. Keep weapons away from potentially dangerous people. b. Don’t let anyone have an assault weapon. Mass shootings decline. Nobody’s 2A rights are harmed.

Tonight on @wbaltv11: A man with an AR-15 has been showing up for weeks to a school bus drop off for local elementary school students. Parents say their kids are afraid, the man says he’s protesting @GovWesMoore’s new gun control law. You’ll hear from both sides at 5+6pm.

So true. Let's all champion healthy organizational cultures and reward supportive behaviors.

Toxic cultures define success as winning a cutthroat competition. They reward people for stabbing others in the back. Healthy cultures define success as making a contribution. They reward people for having others’ backs. Good organizations elevate those who elevate others.

This guide is excellent. I use it and recommend it. Recognizing and naming your assumptions is not easy, and it's critical. Thanks to @Eval_Innovation for this great resource!
Center for Evaluation Innovation@Eval_Innovation26 Oct 2022
When working toward complex change, start with naming assumptions. How can you get started? We wrote a guide: bit.ly/3MoGgmx
A graphic that includes the title of the report, "Guidance on Developing Assumptions" by Julia Coffman and Tanya Beer. It also includes CEI's logo and a brief description that reads, "Our four-page guide defines assumptions, explains why it is critical to articulate them, and then offers a set of prompting questions to help elicit them."
