Gerrard encouraging Buck to try for the captaincy even though Hen is much more qualified would be the kind of commentary on current events I would expect from 911. I hope it happens and then Buck is like “but. Hen is more qualified than me? Why should I go for it instead of her?”
#idk it’s 3AM this might not make sense but the current administration’s war on DEI#is ultimately about refusing to acknowledge that people of color and women can be more qualified than white men#and calling it ‘DEI’ is a cover for wanting less diversity in leadership because it would dilute the power of whiteness#so turning that into ‘Gerrard tries to get Buck to apply for captaincy over Hen due to his obvious bias’#would be a good way to comment on the issues of the day without actually commenting on it

I just quickly need to vent,
Here’s how Trump’s cutting of DEI is effecting my family… due to his ridiculous vendetta, my mother’s work hours have been severely cut to 3 days in March; for the entire month.
She is in a special diverse group of the DEI because she is a parent/provider of a offspring with a disability (me).
She technically also falls under and she should be protected under the ADA but, with Trump’s bullying tactics to continue to go after the ADA and all the Disabled Americans/their families… 🤷
If it wasn’t clear, Fuck Trump, Fuck the GOP, Fuck the Dems & the Supreme Court for FAILING us Americans who were counting on someone to have the knowledge and willpower to stand up to a bully! And finally fuck the US Healthcare System for continuing to prioritize money/finances over their employees and patients!
#tumblr vent#fuck trump#fuck the gop#fuck the government#fuck the failed leadership#dei horror stories#ADA horror stories#failed leadership#failed experiment#American dream no more#Luigi mangione was right#fuck the healthcare system#leaders are rolling in their graves#I need to let my anger out#cat and mouse#Trump is ruining America and our values#fuck project 2025#fuck elon musk#fuck rfk jr#at this point DC needs to BURNED#Donald Trump you have failed this country#fuck the supreme court

Law Dork: Project 2025's plans for the Justice Department
Chris Geidner at Law Dork (07.08.2024):
Project 2025 is a frightening, authoritarian missive with Christian nationalism values at its core that aims to dismantle large swaths of the federal government and transform that which remains into a politicized right-wing machine. It opposes diversity as a value, aggressively so in its anti-woman, anti-Black and anti-brown, anti-immigrant, and anti-LBGTQ proposals. I have had Project 2025 on my mind for a while, but the truth is that I didn’t want to write about it until I could actually start giving it the attention it deserves. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has released its final opinions of the term — including several making Project 2025 easier to implement — I have been able to start my work on this. Today, I start with a look through the Justice Department section, which is highlighted throughout with what I saw as key aspects. There will be much more, taking different forms, over the summer. Dig into the Mandate for Leadership with me. Pay attention. This matters — regardless of what Donald Trump might say.
1. This is not a plan that Trump can “torch,” “disavow,” or whatever Mike Allen is editing his Axios headline to say today. These are Trump’s people, up and down the line. Yes, it is true that no plans designed ahead of time would be implemented in precisely that way — but that is true of Trump’s own statements about his plans, too. He has no principles, so his plans are always flexible. That said, these are the plans being created for him by his people. The section is written by Gene Hamilton, a former senior official in the Trump administration whose name is all over litigation across the country today because he is the legal director of America First Legal. America First Legal is, in essence, the MAGA legal organization. It is run by Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller, despite his not being a lawyer, and Hamilton is the second-in-command. After Trump feigned ignorance about Project 2025 (leading to the Axios kerfuffle), Miller lapdoggingly followed on, insisting, “I have never been involved with Project 2025, not one word.” One, I maintain (and have long maintained) that Miller is the worst person who served in the Trump administration, so, forgive me if I believe him even less than I believe Trump.
2. The 28-page Justice Department section has a primary purpose of turning DOJ into an aggressive enforcer of the Trump agenda across the federal government and down into state and local governments. “Ensure the assignment of sufficient political appointees throughout the department,” the plan states outright, noting that the number of political appointees serving in past administrations — including “particularly” during the Trump administration — was not enough “to stop bad things from happening through proper management or to promote the President’s agenda.” The program explicitly questions how the new administration should relate to other branches, asserting that the administration should “use its independent resources and authorities to restrain the excesses of both the legislative and judicial branches.” Goals include ending independence of the Justice Department from the White House, ending the ability of divisions and offices within DOJ to exercise independent judgment, and ending respect for federalism where there is disagreement with Trump policies.
[...] 5. The plan calls for vigorous enforcement of the Comstock Act, including specifically calling for a “campaign” to prosecute attempts to mail abortion medication. This is explicit, specific, and there is no reason to be secure that this U.S. Supreme Court would block such a move. 6. The plan attacks diversity efforts as being backed by “an unholy alliance of special interests, radicals in government, and the far Left.” Yes, “unholy.” After describing “so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices” as “vehicles for unlawful discrimination, it calls for turning the Civil Rights Division into a bastardization of itself. It would, essentially, turn this pillar of the department into a governmental America First Legal.
Chris Geidner writes in Law Dork the harmful impacts that Project 2025 will do to the independence of the US DOJ from partisan political influence.

Inclusive Leadership: The Future of C-Suite Power

The Fictional Tale
It evokes images from science fiction literature and movies that portray vividly distinct futures, far removed from our current reality. These fictional narratives depict a range of scenarios, from post-apocalyptic worlds with dystopian societies to artificial realms populated by synthetic beings, and countless other imaginings set across alien galaxies.
Within these fictional tales, a common theme emerges—a quest with a hero at its centre. These leaders, intelligent and resilient, bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. Occasionally, they have a loyal sidekick, but rarely do they share an equal partnership or function as a cohesive team. The decisions they make and the actions they undertake often lead to the restoration of humanity.
Interestingly, despite the vast differences in these future contexts, the iconic image of the heroic leader remains constant. Our ability to envision diverse future landscapes contrasts sharply with our tendency to cling to traditional notions of leadership. While this dynamic makes for captivating entertainment, it fails to reflect the realities we face. The world is undeniably changing, demanding adaptability from those in leadership roles.
So, what does this evolving context entail? In an era characterized by volatility and complexity, accurately predicting the future is fraught with uncertainty. However, we can identify four overarching global mega-trends that are reshaping our environment and influencing business priorities.
There are four key aspects of diversity that are reshaping the business landscape:
Market Diversity: Emerging markets are experiencing a surge in demand, making them the most significant growth opportunity for companies worldwide. With a burgeoning middle class, these markets offer immense potential within many companies' portfolios.
Customer Diversity: Customer demographics and attitudes are undergoing a transformation. Empowered by technology and faced with more choices, an increasingly diverse customer base expects personalized products and services of higher quality.
Idea Diversity: The digital revolution, interconnectedness, and deregulation are causing disruptions in business value chains, consumption patterns, and competition. The necessity for rapid innovation is widely acknowledged.
Talent Diversity: Changes in age distribution, education, migration patterns, and expectations regarding equal opportunities and work-life balance are all influencing employee populations. Embracing diverse talent has become crucial for organizations to thrive.
So, this brings us to a question, how can leaders especially the one’ at the C-suite foster inclusive leadership
Fostering Inclusive Leadership
In fostering inclusive leadership, the role of the C-suite is instrumental in driving transformation and creating a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion. Research has shown that diverse and inclusive leadership teams not only enhance organizational performance but also contribute to better decision-making, innovation, and employee engagement.
Setting the Tone from the TOP
To effectively drive DEI&B (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) transformation, the C-suite must first set the tone from the top. Leaders at this level play a critical role in establishing a clear vision and strategic direction that prioritizes diversity and inclusion as core values. By publicly endorsing and championing these principles, they send a powerful message throughout the organization, encouraging others to embrace inclusive behaviors and practices.
Embedding Diversity and Inclusion
The C-suite should also be responsible for embedding diversity and inclusion into the organization's policies, practices, and processes. This includes implementing inclusive talent acquisition strategies to attract a diverse pool of candidates, implementing unbiased performance evaluation and promotion processes, and ensuring equal access to opportunities and resources for all employees. By integrating diversity and inclusion into the fabric of the organization, the C-suite sets the stage for sustainable and meaningful change.
Valuing Employees
Furthermore, inclusive leadership requires fostering an inclusive culture where all individuals feel valued, respected, and included. The C-suite should actively promote psychological safety, where individuals feel comfortable expressing their ideas and perspectives without fear of judgment or reprisal. They can facilitate this by promoting open communication, encouraging diverse voices to be heard, and actively seeking input from individuals at all levels of the organization.
Building Diverse and Inclusive Teams
The C-suite should prioritize creating a diverse talent pipeline by actively seeking out individuals from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. They should strive for diverse representation at all levels of the organization, including leadership positions. By doing so, they not only increase the diversity of thought and ideas within the organization but also serve as role models for inclusive behavior.
Learning and Unlearning
To foster inclusive leadership, the C-suite must continuously educate themselves and others about the importance and benefits of diversity and inclusion. They should invest in training programs that raise awareness about unconscious biases, promote inclusive behaviors, and develop cultural competence across the organization. By leading by example and continuously learning and growing, the C-suite can inspire others to embrace inclusive leadership practices.
Editor’s Note
The imperative for fostering inclusive leadership and driving DEI&B transformation in organizations cannot be overstated. As we navigate an increasingly interconnected and diverse world, it is crucial for the C-suite to take the lead in championing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
And the role of the C-suite in driving transformation goes beyond mere rhetoric. It requires a genuine commitment to creating an inclusive culture, implementing inclusive practices, and cultivating diverse talent. By doing so, organizations can tap into the power of diverse perspectives, enhance decision-making processes, and foster innovation.
Moreover, inclusive leadership is not just a box to check or a trend to follow. It is a moral imperative and a strategic advantage. Research consistently shows that organizations with inclusive leadership outperform their peers, attract top talent, and build stronger connections with customers.
However, driving DEI&B transformation is not a one-time endeavour. It is an ongoing journey that requires continuous learning, adaptation, and improvement. The C-suite must stay informed about emerging trends, best practices, and the evolving needs of diverse stakeholders. By investing in education and training, they can equip themselves and their teams with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of an inclusive world.
The path to fostering inclusive leadership begins with the C-suite. It is their responsibility to set the tone, create an inclusive culture, and drive meaningful change. By embracing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, organizations can unlock their full potential and shape a future where every individual has an equal opportunity to thrive. The time for action is now, and the C-suite holds the key to driving this transformative journey.

This is simply the extreme end of the “everyone deserves a diploma” idiocy that has been destroying K-12 education for decades. Students get good grades, parents think their children are learning, everyone gets their paychecks. It’s a total scam, and it should be no surprise that employers now avoid hiring the young, lazy, and stupid. You want to wreck a country? Just turn your educational system into a national joke.

Addressing the Unique Challenges of CXO Hiring in Today's Competitive Market

Modernity witnesses so much rapid change with transformations brought in by digitalization and global economic flux. In this so unpredictable setting, C-suite roles have gained prominence like never before. Finding an appropriate CXO who not only can deal with such complexities but also lead the organization toward success is very difficult. With the scarcity of talent and changing expectations, companies have to be deliberate about securing top-tier leadership. This is where partnering with a specialized cxo staffing agency can be invaluable. The following blog will discuss the unique challenges facing CXO hiring in this cutthroat environment and present some strategies to overcome them.
CXO Hiring: Shifting Patterns
These two decades have perhaps ushered in a new era for the C-suite. CXOs must now be techno-savvy, make data-driven decisions, and understand emerging technologies like AI. So it is becoming a contest for attractiveness: technophile candidates are few and far between. But expectations are also changing; today, it is as much about emotional intelligence, ethical leadership, and cultural fit. The global economy adds to the complexity, with leadership that needs to work across international markets and command remote teams.
Key Challenges In Modern CXO Recruitment
Finding The Right Culture Fit: Assessing a candidate's fit with the organization's values is critical yet very tricky. It requires an understanding of both the candidates and the organization's culture.
Assessing the Strategic Visioning and Innovation: CXOs must be visionaries able to drive innovation. The evaluation of their strategic thinking and problem-solving approaches must engage quite rigorous assessment processes.
Attraction and Retention of the Talented: High-paying remuneration, exciting employer branding, and defined career development paths are the main conduits through which selective CXOs are attracted and kept.
Navigating DEI: Having a diverse and equitable C-suite is no longer a choice. Therefore, overcoming unconscious bias and instilling fairness in the hiring process is critical.
Strategies for Successful CXO Hiring
Using Executive Search Firms: Utilizing such firms as the Alliance Recruitment Agency can greatly expedite the whole process. These firms possess the skills and networks to attract high-caliber talent.
Establishing a Comprehensive Evaluation Process: Use psychometric assessments, behavioral interviews, and case studies for a thorough assessment of candidates, following which thorough background checks and references should be performed.
Creating an Attractive Employer Brand: Exhibit the culture, values, and employee value proposition of your company. An alluring brand entices top talent.
Using Technology and Data: Have AI-driven tools as candidates' source and assessors. Data-based decision-making adds more objectivity and efficiency to the whole process of hiring.
Building a focus on long termism and succession planning to allow hiring with the emphasis on the long term and ensuring pus succession plans are effective to ensure Leadership continuity.
Conclusion
CXO hiring poses serious challenges in today's fiercely competitive market, but they can be conquered with careful planning and execution. Engagement with partners experienced in the field such as Alliance Recruitment Agency, collaborative methods of evaluation, and cultural fit and diversity will help organizations in cornering key leaders.

FAQs:
Q1: What would you consider the major factors that have created a change in the CXO hiring landscape in the present times within a modern business setup?
A1: The following are the primary factors that have remarkably changed the CXO hiring landscape: Internet has turned the atmosphere competitive, forcing the demand for IT-savvy leaders; a global shortage of talent; preference for emotional intelligence and cultural fit vs. technical skills; and the complexity of conducting a global economy of remote teams.
Q2: What do you view as the greater impediments to companies' abilities to attract first-class CXO talent?
A2: The main problems are matching cultural fit, testing for the candidate's strategic vision and capability for innovation, attracting and retaining good talent against strong competition, and making sure that the process does not compromise on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Q3: Name a few countermeasures that can be used to mitigate those challenges to secure successful CXO hiring.
A3: These might include engaging executive search firms like Alliance Recruitment Agency, instituting a strong assessment process calling for psychometric testing and behavioral interviews, inculcating a strong employer branding process, going tech-savvy and data-driven, and considering succession planning in a more long-term manner.
Q4: Why is cultural fit regarded as a significant trouble while hiring CXOs?
A4: It is extremely important culturally fit since it indicates that the values and work styles of CXO align with that of the company, creating a very congenial and productive workplace. However, it is difficult as it's slow and takes a long time to know the culture that can be of the candidate hence making it difficult to manage through any traditional interview methods.
Q5: In what ways will using technology and data be useful in CXO hiring processes?
A5: One way that can utilize artificial intelligence in sourcing and assessing candidates is the ability to identify and evaluate without bias a broader pool of potential candidates. The making of decisions on data makes hiring more objective and thus effective because it shows how well candidates would perform and fit into the company culture as well as their potential for succeeding with the organization.
