Why I left

1. Power went unchecked, making the organization increasingly inefficient.

2. Speaking up became risky — silence was implicitly rewarded.

3. The kind of leadership I practice (empathy, multi-perspective thinking, psychological safety) became devalued.

These are great points with great relevance in post-DEI America.
