I maintain that nobody says “thought management” nor “risk leadership” for the same reason nobody says “street intelligence”, nor “artificial smartness”.

#PSA:

"to make do" means to work with what you've got.

Afaik, "to make due" doesn't mean anything.

I guess it could mean "to impose a deadline," but that seems awkward.

Most likely, the phrase you're needing is "to make do."

No, I don't wanna be prescriptivist. But also, #WordsMeanThings.

I’ve reflexively hated the term “female” instead of “women”, and until @quixoticgeek explained the #history and context, I didn’t understand why.

People who can’t articulate their intersection using words—and #WordsMeanThings, and those things tend to do with concepts of #data and #history—are terrified of being forgotten.

They are damaged by the hurt.

Hurt people hurt people.

The language we use in the office matters. On the latest episode of the #GCAPodcast, Kim Scott told me a story of a leader who realized he had never promoted a woman to a leadership position. To his credit, he assumed the problem was with his system, not with the talent. After an investigation, he found that while both candidates had the same results, one, a man, was called a real leader, and the other, a woman, was referred to as a “mother hen.” It may seem like there’s nothing wrong with calling someone nurturing and supportive. But when it came to promotions, “a leader” always beat out the nurturer. Because language defines power and power shapes careers. Are you ensuring words don’t cause bias in your team?

The v-word is “virtue.”

Virtuous people, holding virtuous beliefs, doing virtuous deeds.

Always yell virtues, never signal them.

Global News: "... after a fatal shooting that left a man dead."

Uh, ya. That's what "fatal" means.
