Tiny Gavroche, le Poulbot des barricades

@AA_Avocats 🔸“Où va la France ?”
Tribune du 8 mai 2023 de J-François Bayart, professeur #IHEID (Genève), chaire Yves Oltramare.

- “La France est bel et bien en train de rejoindre le camp des démocraties « illibérales »,
- et Macron vit dans une réalité parallèle et joue avec le feu”.

@AA_Avocats 🔸“Où va la France ?” se demande la Suisse. La mauvaise réponse serait de s’arrêter à la raillerie culturaliste des Gaulois éternels mécontents.
La crise est politique.
Emmanuel Macron se réclame de l’ « extrême centre» qu’incarnèrent successivement dans l’Histoire, le Directoire

@AA_Avocats le 1er et le 2d Empire, et diff courants technocratiques saint-simoniens.

🔸Il est le dernier avatar en date. L'historien Pierre Serna nomme le « poison français », propension au réformisme étatique et anti-démocratique, par la voie de l’exercice caméral et centralisé du pouvoir

1/10: Just listened to an episode of @99piorg about Balikbayan boxes. These are large boxes filled with goods that Filipinos living abroad send back home.

My wife and I send these boxes frequently. It's a fascinating blend of economics and culture.

2/10: The Balikbayan box system is a testament to the power of remittances. Filipinos abroad send an estimated $33 billion back home annually. That's about 10% of the Philippines' GDP.

10%!

3/10: The economic impact of these boxes is profound. They're filled with goods that are often cheaper or unavailable in the Philippines, but also with stuff that just help make families feel connected.

Hello, Connections! Welcome back to my weekly column #ATHCOriginal #AskATHC. Today, I want to discuss a rather controversial topic—#Women.

#UnitedShowbiz #Gender #eqyality #Education #womenempowerment #TedTalk #Inspiration #Movies

Last week, I discussed #ContentWriting, but today's topic is different. Before going further, I want to declare outright that I am not a feminist or atheist. I am just a pragmatic, who sees a glass & water as two distinct things rather than seeing it half-empty or half full.

World has moved forward. Girls have gone to space! But culture, religion, ethics, & social evils continue to haunt girls worldwide. I don't want to talk about India, you've plenty of cases where women face atrocities almost every single day here. #RuralIndia #WomenLifeFreedom

#Thread on Maharashtra Day:

Sometime in the early 2000’s a young Maharashtrian musician realised that Marathi songs were not being played on the FM stations, as they were not commercially viable.

He decided to address this situation by making a landmark Marathi song.

He took a unique approach. He decided to make that the sole focus of his life.Over the next 18 months, he did not take up any project.

The other decision he took was that it would be done with the best singers, in the best recording studio and with the most talented musicians.

He also planned to do a mass funding for this mainly to create an awareness movement and able to do the best he can.

A friend of his came home and he ran this idea past her. She immediately gave him a ₹500 note and was one of his strongest advocates throughout the project.

Does your People Ops / HR team have a set of People Experience (PX) design principles?

If not, you should.

Here’s why and how to create some for your team:

(1/13)

What are design principles?

Design principles are a set of core considerations which inform the direction and the overall approach of product design.

(2/13)

What are they for?

Design principles ensure the end product adheres to overall design vision. They allow decisions to be made quickly and accurately by anyone in the design team as decisions can be sense checked against the principles.

What if I told you that everything you thought you knew about leadership was wrong? 🤯 I stumbled upon a video from @simonsinek that completely shattered my beliefs and opened my eyes to a new way of thinking.

Sinek's video on leadership taught me that great leaders don't just inspire action, they inspire belief. 💡 It's not about what you do, it's about why you do it. "People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it." #leadership #inspiration

As Sinek says, "great leaders are those who trust their gut." 👍🏼 It's about having the confidence to follow your instincts and stay true to your values, even when it's not the popular choice. #integrity #trust #leadership

⭐️The words “male” and “female” should be phased out in science because they reinforce ideas that sex is binary, scientists have suggested.

[Scaling for Growth]

The other day I shared a multi-step process to scaling. After thinking about the short format of twitter, I added these additional 5 steps below.

#scaling #growth

[enjoy the #AI art]

Establish the Culture:
-Define the #values, #goals, and expectations for the team and the organization as a whole.
-Identify the key characteristics you want in new team members, such as experience, education, and personality traits.

#Culture

Step 2: Hire the Right People:
-Create job descriptions that clearly outline the duties and requirements for each position.
-Use a variety of methods to attract potential candidates, including job fairs, employee referrals, and online job postings.
