Regardless of your political inclinations, whether or not you support DOGE, or even if you don't care...you should care about this one. As an IT professional and someone that has a basic understanding of cyber security and privacy, this should concern everyone. www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

When you are a leader, while you have to level with your people when there is a crisis hitting you, you also have to be optimistic. They are all looking to you to lead. No one follows a pessimistic leader. This is the last of Colin Powell's 13 rules of leadership.

Rule 12 from Colin Powell is an interesting. I've refrained form commenting politically as I've posted his 13 rules of leadership. But this is is very relevant right now. No organization, including countries, can be built on fear or cowards who hide behind their rhetoric.

When a crisis hits, the rulebook usually goes out the window. First order of business is to solve the problem but you are most effective when remaining calm but focused on what needs to happen. People look to the leader in moments of chaos to get direction and focus.

Every good leader that I have worked for always gave credit to the organization for successes and was front and center when things didn't go right. I learned that early on in my corporate career.

As a leader you establish a vision, think strategically, and provide direction on execution. But you also don't neglect the details.

We are all the sum of our decisions. But when we let others make decisions for us, we lose the opportunity to enjoy our successes or to learn from our failures.

As leaders we are sometimes have to make decisions that are not necessarily supported either by the facts or that may create tension in the organization. In these instances, doing what is right is the most appropriate choice. While it may cost you at multiple levels, the truth eventually prevails.

As leaders of people we make decisions every day. Those decisions can affect not just our well being and direction, but also those around us. Be careful, yes, but don't be paralyzed by the decision at hand.

Being a leader always requires being persistent, among other things. Colin Powell found ways of getting things done, sometimes in the face of huge odds against him. This is what encompasses his fourth rule of leadership.

Colin Powell's developed his 13 rules of Leadership over the course of his career. They are practical, insightful, and can be applied immediately to any aspect of our lives. Here is number three.

As promised, here is the second of Colin Powell's 13 rules of leadership. I had the fortune of hearing him speak once and he was engaging, funny, informative, and a great communicator. Every leader needs the latter especially.

I'll be posting Colin Powell's 13 rules of leadership. Powell had an exemplary career within the military as well as the diplomatic corps. He was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President George H. W. Bush and then Secretary of State under President George W. Bush. Here's the first one.

FCC Opening Day last night! It was the coldest game ever played at TQL Stadium. Temperature at the start of the game was 31° F. There was also a poignant moment to remember young Marco Angulo who was killed in Ecuador in a traffic accident. He was on loan from FC Cincinnati to an Ecuadorian team.

Incredible content.

It's 20° F outside with a wind chill of 11°. But I had to take a picture of this moon.

Curriculum.

Some great drawings about Jimmy Carter.

For all Formula 1 fans, very interesting news for 2026. These are big changes. #F1 #Formula1 www.msn.com/en-us/autos/...

I was recently accepted as one of the writers for the Cincinnati Soccer Talk media organization. They recently asked for volunteers in various areas, one of them being writers, so I jumped at the opportunity. Here's my first article for them. cincinnatisoccertalk.com/2024/12/12/f...

For all Formula 1 fans, I'm watching a Netflix mini series about the great Ayrton Senna. IMHO, Senna was the greatest F1 driver ever. I was fortunate to see him at the 1988 Mexico City Grand Prix race. His teammate Alain Prost won that race. Senna came in 2nd. Senna won the championship that year

I was not aware that this meeting of two opposite but great minds of the 20th century met. Imagine being a fly on the wall when they met! #einstein #tagore #philosophy #science www.themarginalian.org/2012/04/27/w...

Hoy recibí desde León, España, en Cincinnati, Ohio, este libro que aumenta mi colección sobre la Tuna. Cada libro que Leo al respecto de la tuna me informa de tantos matices, dimensiones, tradiciones, y experiencias que han imbuido a la tuna a través de su historia y trayectoria.

Didn't see this one coming. I won't speculate since Martino will be speaking later on the week to the press. www.espn.com/soccer/story...
