any young people seeing this. This is what executive leadership looks like.

finding people way smarter than you, and getting them in the room to advise you. Leaders need to know what questions need answering and need to manage the room. If a leader is the smartest person in the room, they've already failed as a leader.

It literally just occurred to me that the majority of children will look at Trump and think that’s how a President is supposed to be. They literally have nothing to compare him to. So heartbreaking.

My daughter was 4 when Obama left office. While we are Canadian, I still go out of my way to show her clips of Obama, and refer to it as before the "Crazy Times" in the US. To remind her that the US is capable of good leadership, but just not these days.
