Pet to threat is a theory elaborated by Dr. Kecia M. Thomas on the relationship between the corporate world and Black women. When this Black woman joined the show, she was told that her knowledge and experience mattered, she was celebrated, but soon after I noticed a subtle shift where her presence, her voice, her opinions, the very things she was probably asked to bring to the ensemble were being silenced. #racism #workplace #Canada #BlackMastodon
Began recording a local TV show in support of a BW whose previous work I enjoyed. I mostly ffwd to her interventions on this show (the other hosts are insufferable, to varying degrees!). From the moment this woman joined the show I began to worry. Would she go from pet to threat, and if she did, how long would it take. #racism #workplace #Canada #BlackMastodon

Much of leadership boils down to turning adversaries into allies. In this piece, the authors discuss three persuasion strategies leaders can employ when faced with a disagreement in the workplace.
Harvard Business Review · How to (Actually) Change Someone’s MindMuch of leadership boils down to turning adversaries into allies. In this piece, the authors discuss three persuasion strategies leaders can employ when faced with a disagreement in the workplace: the Cognitive Conversation, which is best for convincing colleagues focused on the rational reasons behind a decision, the Champion Conversation, which is best for convincing colleagues with whom you have a strained relationship, and the Credible Colleague Approach, which is best for convincing someone who has preconceived notions that you’re unlikely to be able to change on your own. Armed with these three methods, leaders can modulate their arguments —in terms of both content and presentation — to maximize their chances of reaching an agreement and preserving a positive working relationship.
Since I am in Rome for a couple of days, I decided to come to work at the Library of the Senate of the Italian Republic this fine morning.
The library staff is not friendly at all, but the place is crazy.
I was asked what kind of laptop this is, and of course I proudly replied: “it’s a @frameworkcomputer, you should get one

I’m planning a YouTube video to discuss DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) from my perspective (No ETA ATM). Recently, I’ve seen people blaming DEI for everything from workplace inefficiency to the "downfall of society," and the narrative feels both uninformed and harmful. #DEI #Workplace

#DEI critics increasingly weaponize “diversity hire” as an insult. A scholar focused on gender and exclusion links these attacks—political and corporate—to anti-Black #racism, arguing they distort the true purpose of DEI. https://theconversation.com/assault-on-dei-critics-use-simplistic-terms-to-attack-the-programs-but-they-are-key-to-uprooting-workplace-bias-243011
