Measuring Leadership Excellence
I had gotten into a discussion on an episode of The Leadership Toolkit, on how to measure the intangibles of leadership. Things like trust, accountability, attitude, and even mindset. How do you measure these leadership performance metrics? How do you measure leadership excellence? Then I had Jeff Harnois from iBridged reach out and say to me… “Hey! you mentioned the question of how to measure…

Joe Biden designates Avi Kwa Ame a national monument
President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday Avi Kwa Ame as a national monument in Nevada, following up on a promise he made in late 2022.
Biden also declared a national monument in Texas and the creation of a marine sanctuary in U.S. waters near the Pacific Remote Islands southwest of Hawai'i.
Biden spoke at the White House Conservation in Action Summit at the Interior Department with Fort Mojave Indian Tribal Chairman Timothy Williams commending him during his introduction.
“Under his leadership we have a seat at the table and we are seeing an unprecedented era and opportunity for our tribal communities,” Williams said. “And we are all grateful to the president for taking historic action to combat the climate crisis and conserve and restore our nation’s land and waters.”
Williams was among the proponents to make Avi Kwa Ame, also known as Spirit Mountain, a national monument. It’s considered sacred to the Mojave people and for the nine other Yuman-speaking tribes along the Colorado River, as well as the Hopi and Chemehuevi Paiute tribes, Williams said.
The site in southern Nevada spans more than 500,000 acres near the Arizona and California state lines. It’s home to bighorn sheep, desert tortoises and a large concentration of Joshua trees, some of which are more than 900 years old. It’s also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It took more than three months for Biden to make the announcement.
“It’s a place of reverence, it’s a place of spirituality, it’s a place of healing and now it will be recognized for its significance it holds and be preserved forever,” Biden said. “I look forward to visiting it myself.”
He thanked Williams and the legislative leaders who advocated for Avi Kwa Ame including Nevada Rep. Dina Titus, Democrat, who sponsored a bill to protect the rugged region near the Mojave National Preserve from development, including solar farms and a proposed wind farm.
“To the native people who point to Avi Kwa Ame as their spiritual birthplace, and every Nevadan who knows the value of our cherished public lands: Today is for you,″ Titus tweeted.
The Honor Avi Kwa Ame coalition, which includes tribes, local residents, state lawmakers and conservation groups, said its members were "overjoyed" to learn the site will be a new national monument.
"Together, we will honor Avi Kwa Ame today — from its rich Indigenous history, to its vast and diverse plant and wildlife, to the outdoor recreation opportunities created for local cities and towns in southern Nevada by a new gorgeous monument right in their backyard," the group said.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland released a press release praising the announcement.
“I am grateful to President Biden for taking this important step in recognition of the decades of advocacy from tribes and the scientific community, who are eager to protect the objects within its boundaries,” Haaland stated.“Together with tribal leaders, outdoor enthusiasts, local elected officials, and other stakeholders, we will manage this new monument for the benefit of current and future generations.”
In Texas, Biden plans to create the Castner Range National Monument in El Paso. It’s the ancestral homeland of the Comanche and Apache people, and its cultural ecology is considered sacred to several Indigenous communities.
The designation will protect the cultural, scientific and historic objects found within the monument's boundaries, honor U.S. veterans, service members and tribal nations, and expand access to outdoor recreation on public lands, the White House said.
Located on Fort Bliss, Castner Range served as a training and testing site for the U.S. Army during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The Army ceased training at the site and closed Castner Range in 1966.
The Castner Range monument "will preserve fragile lands already surrounded on three sides by development,'' help ensure access to clean water and protect rare and endangered species, said Rep. Veronica Escobar, Democrat-Texas.
“The people of El Paso have fought to protect this for 50 years. Their work has finally paid off,” Biden said.
Biden designated his first national monument, in Colorado, last year. In 2021, he restored the boundaries for Bears Ears National Monument in Utah after they were significantly narrowed by President Donald Trump, a Republican.
In the Pacific, Biden will direct the Commerce Department to consider initiating a new national marine sanctuary designation within 30 days to protect all U.S. waters around the Pacific Remote Islands. If completed, the 777,000 square miles, southwest of Hawaii, will help ensure the U.S. reaches Biden's goal to conserve at least 30 percent of ocean waters under U.S. jurisdiction by 2030, the White House said.
Among Hawaiian state leaders, Biden thanked Native Hawaiian leaders who “worked tirelessly to protect our oceans. I want to thank you. I genuinely mean it, it wouldn't have happened without you.”
Biden also announced a series of steps to conserve, restore and expand access to public lands and waters across the country, the White House said.
The proposals seek to modernize management of America's public lands, harness the power of the ocean to help fight climate change, and better conserve wildlife corridors. Biden also will announce new spending to improve access to outdoor recreation, promote tribal conservation and reduce wildfire risk.
Bidden added he’s committed to working with tribal leaders and legislative leaders on bringing “healthy and abundant” salmon run back to the Colorado River system.
“There’s nothing beyond our capacity if we work together,” Biden said.

Federal data show the Biden administration approved 9,779 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first three years, nearly keeping pace with the Trump administration’s 9,982 drilling-permit approvals in its first three years.
The Biden administration’s policy of oil and gas expansion contradicts the clear climate science that fossil fuel growth must be stopped and governments must phase out fossil fuels to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change. In December the United States and other countries agreed to a phasedown and ultimate phaseout of fossil fuel extraction.
“Given the urgency of the climate crisis and our nation’s pledge to phase out oil and gas extraction, the Biden administration needs to pump the brakes right now on issuing drilling permits on our public lands,” said Jeremy Nichols of the Center for Biological Diversity. “It’s time for the administration to show the world what true climate leadership looks like.”
The pace of new oil- and gas-drilling approvals stands in contrast to the administration’s action last week to temporarily pause new gas-export projects. While met with support, the pause is not permanent and does not stem new fossil fuel production.
“The temporary pause on new gas-exports projects is a good step, but for it to be meaningful, the Biden administration needs to make it permanent and stop rubberstamping more fossil fuel production,” said Nichols.
More than 6,000 of the drilling permits granted by the administration are on public lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s New Mexico office, followed by 1,793 permits in Wyoming and several hundred each in Utah, Colorado, California and North Dakota.
Scientific analyses show climate pollution from the world’s already producing fossil fuel developments, if fully developed, will push warming past 1.5 degrees Celsius. Avoiding such warming requires ending new investment in fossil fuel projects and phasing out production to keep as much as 40% of already developed fields in the ground.
The Biden administration has not enacted any policies to significantly limit drilling permits or manage a decline of production to avoid 1.5 degrees of warming. It supported Sen. Joe Manchin’s demands to add provisions to the Inflation Reduction Act that will lock in fossil fuel leasing for the next decade.
The administration has also ignored petitions from hundreds of climate, conservation, Indigenous and environmental justice groups calling for a phaseout of federal oil and gas production.

He hoped the group would understand his decision to step down for age-related reasons. The supervisory board and board of management thanked Fritz Holzhey for his work, trust, expertise, and conscientious approach.
Bernd Eikens joins the Koehler Group supervisory board as a veteran of the industry.
Bernd Eikens was proposed as a successor to Holzhey on the supervisory board. He was elected unanimously as the new full member of the board in the general meeting on 29 April 2024.

From Manager to Leader: Cultivating Effective Leadership Traits
From Manager to Leader: Cultivating Effective Leadership Traits
https://ift.tt/6QTzMfF
Transitioning from a manager to a leader is pivotal in one’s career journey. While management involves overseeing tasks and processes, leadership revolves around inspiring and guiding individuals toward a shared vision. To make this shift successfully, aspiring leaders must cultivate essential leadership traits that set them apart and empower their teams for success.
Visionary Thinking: Inspiring a Shared Purpose
Influential leaders are visionaries who can see beyond immediate tasks and articulate a compelling vision for the future. They inspire their teams by aligning everyone around a shared purpose and a clear direction. This vision serves as a north star, motivating individuals to work cohesively towards common goals.
Empathy and Emotional Intelligence: Connecting on a Deeper Level
Leadership is as much about people as it is about tasks. Empathy and emotional intelligence allow leaders to connect with team members more deeply. By understanding the emotions, concerns, and aspirations of others, leaders can provide meaningful support, foster a positive work environment, and build strong, collaborative relationships.
Effective Communication: Bridging Understanding
Communication is the cornerstone of successful leadership. Leaders must convey their ideas clearly and actively listen to their team members. Transparent and open communication helps avoid misunderstandings, resolves conflicts, and guarantees everyone is on the same page.
Adaptability and Resilience: Navigating Change
The modern business landscape is characterized by rapid change and uncertainty. Leaders need to be adaptable and resilient in the face of challenges. By demonstrating a willingness to learn, evolve, and make tough decisions, leaders inspire their teams to embrace change with confidence.
Delegation and Trust-Building: Empowering Others
Transitioning from a manager to a leader involves empowering others to take ownership of their tasks. Effective delegation demonstrates trust in team members’ abilities and fosters a sense of responsibility. This approach not only lightens the leader’s load but also helps team members develop their skills and grow within the organization.
Conflict Resolution and Problem-Solving: Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Leaders are often tasked with resolving conflicts and finding solutions to complex problems. Cultivating strong conflict-resolution and problem-solving skills allows leaders to maintain a harmonious work environment while turning challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.
Leading by Example: Modeling Desired Behavior
Leadership is not just about giving demands; it’s about setting an example through actions. Leaders who embody the values, work ethic, and attitudes they expect from their team members create a culture of integrity and commitment.
The journey from manager to leader is transformative and requires a shift in mindset and the development of crucial leadership traits. Visionary thinking, empathy, effective communication, adaptability, delegation, conflict resolution, and leading by example are all vital elements of effective leadership. By cultivating these traits, aspiring leaders can elevate their impact, inspire their teams, and drive their organizations toward enduring success.

Does anyone remember Tim Burchett talking about a certain agency whistleblower backing out?
On July 21st in an interview on Newsnation, Tim Burchett states “NASA backed out on us”
And interesting comment, maybe it’s an astronaut. Maybe it’s Timothy Taylor from American Cosmic.
Or maybe it’s Wayne Hale.
Who:
“N. Wayne Hale is currently a consultant for Special Aerospace Services of Boulder, Colorado. In that capacity he provides services in technical consulting, seminars, technical analysis, and speaking engagements with aerospace, energy, and other high reliability organizations on safety, management, culture change, operations in high risk environments.
Hale retired from NASA in 2010 as the Deputy Associate Administrator of Strategic Partnerships at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. Hale served in the senior leadership of NASA’s Space Shuttle Program from 2003 to 2008 as Launch Integration Manager at the Kennedy Space Center followed by two years as Deputy Program Manager and finally as Program Manager all during the post-Columbia return to flight effort. From 1988 to 2003, he was a Space Shuttle Flight Director for 40 Space Shuttle flights, and prior to that as an orbiter systems flight controller in Mission Control for 15 early Space Shuttle flights.”
He also is a consultant for SAS (Special Aerospace Services) but I didn’t find anything on them. Yet.
Potential whistleblower connection:
While not uap centric, it sounds like there’s been a conversation about the publics need to know and private corporations that make space tech.
“The chairman of a NASA advisory committee, Wayne Hale, is urging NASA to avoid contracts that prevent release of information to the public because companies claim it as proprietary. That applies particularly to Public-Private Partnerships like the Human Landing Systems being developed for the Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon. In a discussion with the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board (ASEB) yesterday, Hale urged them “to encourage NASA not to get tied up in proprietary contracts where they can’t release all the details” because the “taxpayers have a stake and need to know.”"
Potential Uap connection:
“CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA shuttle managers are deciding whether simple camera views, a third heat shield survey or possibly even a spacewalk may be required to address a mystery object near the space shuttle Atlantis that has already delayed the spacecraft’s planned Wednesday landing.
“We have ruled out nothing and we’ll take the time that it needs to take,” NASA’s shuttle program manager Wayne Hale told reporters today. “We’ll come back and maybe have a little better gelled plan later this afternoon.””
https://www.space.com/2915-atlantis-landing-delayed-mystery-object-spotted.html
Huh..can we find out more?
“Shuttle astronauts spotted three pieces of debris floating in space outside Atlantis early Wednesday, a day after the discovery of two other mysterious objects forced a postponement of their landing.
Atlantis commander Brent Jett described the objects as two rings and a piece of foil. He told Mission Control the first object, about 30 metres from the shuttle, was “a reflective cloth or a mechanic looking-cloth. … It’s not a solid metal structure.”
“It doesn’t look like anything I’ve seen outside the shuttle,” Jett said.”
https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/more-debris-spotted-near-shuttle-1.593106
Recent statements: “Just realized my appointment to the NASA Advisory Council expired yesterday. After 10 years I am no longer a Special Government Employee (unpaid).
I guess that means I can tell you what I really think now.”

Saturday Morning Coffee
Good morning!
I hope everyone is having a splendid morning. I began composing this post while my coffee was brewing. My cup is now in hand. That means the old noggin will wake up so I can finish. ☕️
Waxy
This morning, I was shaken to learn Heather B. Hamilton (formerly Heather Armstrong) aka Dooce is no longer with us. I learned the news from a post to her Instagram, confirmed by several friends after and then the Associated Press, announcing the tragic news that she died yesterday at the age of 47.
I think this caught most of us off guard. Dooce was one of the folks I followed in my early blogging days and was very influential to blogs in general. She wasn’t just a Mommy blogger.
RIP Heather. 🧡
Vox
Donald Trump has just been found liable for sexual battery against journalist E. Jean Carroll.
Good for E. Jean Carroll. I’m glad she made a large withdrawal from the bank of Trump. The man clearly doesn’t respect women, he doesn’t respect anything, except maybe Putin.
I hope more women come forward for their day in court now. This man deserves to be shamed at every turn so normal people see what a disgusting human being he is.
Cars are so darned expensive. I have no idea how anyone can afford a new one. Kim and I have purchased one new car in our 35 year marriage and she took it back a week later because she didn’t like it. The car was $15,000.00 out the door.
Good thing she took it back. It was a Saturn. 😆
WPE WebKit Blog
In the previous post in this series, we explained that WPE is a WebKit port optimized for embedded devices. In this post, we’ll dive into a more technical overview of the different components of WPE, WebKit, and how they all fit together.
I’m a sucker for articles about porting software and making it run on many platforms. This piece is a 30,000 foot view of WPE and a short read if you like this kind of stuff. Plus it has a nice little diagram. Always a plus in my book. 🖼️
Jezebel
A Texas man, 22, was arrested on Wednesday evening for fatally shooting his 26-year-old girlfriend for traveling to Colorado to get an abortion, the Dallas Morning News reported on Friday.
Texas is full of absolutely insane people packing guns on their hip.
Look, a woman’s body is hers and hers alone. Sure you could ask, even beg, her not to get an abortion if you’re the father of the child but ultimately it’s her body, her choice.
Your choice is to stay and support her decision or walk away.
This man chose to take her life and destroy his. Poor choice dude.
Republican politicians love to say we have a mental health crisis that causes these senseless crimes. Why is Texas so full of mentally unstable people with guns? Texas needs better leadership or we should boot it out of our Union. 🤬
Ned Batchelder
At work, we work in GitHub pull requests that get merged to the main branch. We also have twice-yearly community release branches, and a small fraction of the main-branch changes need to be copied onto the current release branch.
It’s surprising how powerful git is. Ned has put together a great little guide for how one might cherry pick their commits.
There are so many ways to manage code changes and branches. This is one of many and worth your time to read if you’re a developer of software.
Oh, and it has beautiful diagrams to illustrate what he’s talking about. 👨🍳💋
Rolling Stone
CNN Is Hosting a Town Hall for a Guy Who Tried to Get Me Killed
This piece is by Officer Michael Fanone. Mr. Fanone was one of the Capitol Police Officers tasked with protecting the Capitol on January 6th and had a front row view of the violence of that day.
He’s right, CNN shouldn’t provide a stage for a domestic terrorist. TFG should be tossed in prison and disqualified from holding public office, but no, we’re gonna let him run for President again know full well he’ll destroy our democracy if he wins.
Officer Fanone is lucky to be alive. 🍀
Pixelfed is the Fediverse version of Instagram. Like Mastodon it doesn’t have a corporate master and anyone can host their own server.
I’m not sure why Instagram would see it as a threat, but here we are. 😂
The Next Web
The UK bank analysed its internal customer fraud data between 2021 and 2022. It found that the Meta-owned sites and apps account for a whopping 80% of all scam cases within its three biggest fraud categories: purchase, impersonation, and investment fraud.
I have a feeling Mark Zuckerberg was thrilled when Space Karen took over Twitter because it’s been such a mess nobody is talking about how terrible Facebook is.
crnković
How I accidentally breached a nonexistent database and found every private key in a ‘state-of-the-art’ encrypted messenger.
Buyer beware. Companies can make claims about how awesome their technology is and it could be janky. This is a prime example. It looks like the company is lying to hide their flaws or maybe they don’t know what they’re doing?
WBOI
Students at Carroll High School announced last week they would be putting on an independent production of the play canceled by administration earlier this year.
These kids had their school play shut down because it included a non-binary character and a gay couple.
This is the world we live in and we can choose to love people for who they are, not shame them.
This will, of course, go down in history as a head scratcher in future generations. They’ll wonder why we were so stupid to be so afraid.
Apple Press Release
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today unveiled Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad.
I’ll be interested to know how many Audio and Video Professionals make use of these new apps. Hopefully we will see some great reviews from folks who actually do this kind of work.
I love their pricing. Yearly for $49.00 US or $4.99 per month US. It’s great because you can subscribe for a month and try it out. If it works for you great! You can subscribe for a year. If not you’ve lost $4.99. Not bad.
I’ve decided if I ever get around to writing my next app I will be using this pricing model. It should allow for constant updates throughout the year and no need to worry about batching up a bunch of big features for that big one time new version sale.

Scientists call for setting limits, possible moratorium on fishing in Antarctica's Southern Ocean
https://sciencespies.com/nature/scientists-call-for-setting-limits-possible-moratorium-on-fishing-in-antarcticas-southern-ocean/
Scientists call for setting limits, possible moratorium on fishing in Antarctica's Southern Ocean
This week, an international group of 10 scientists is calling for protective limits on fishing in Antarctica’s Southern Ocean, reporting in the journal Science that current levels of fishing, combined with climate change, are taking a concerning toll on a diverse ecosystem of global importance.
“We cannot ignore the increasing evidence of the ecosystem impacts of fishing in its current form and the dire threat posed by climate change,” said Cassandra Brooks, lead author of the commentary and assistant professor of environmental studies at CU Boulder. “Given the immense global value of the Southern Ocean, we must urgently implement tools toward more sophisticated spatial management and consider the full suite of values, and trade-offs, in continuing fishing in its current form.”
The vast Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica comprises about 10% of the world’s oceans and plays a major role in global climate regulation and carbon storage. As one of the healthiest marine ecosystems left in the world, it is home to a diverse marine ecosystem of fishes, whales, seals, birds, invertebrates and microorganisms, many of which depend on its resources during seasonal migrations.
Commercial fishing for Antarctic toothfish, sold to high-end restaurants as Chilean Sea Bass, and krill, used as fishmeal and fish oil supplements, threatens the food chain in the Southern Ocean from both the top and the bottom, respectively. The authors argue that allowing fishing of these and other marine animals to continue in its present form jeopardizes this ecosystem and is increasingly unsustainable, with benefits realized by only a few wealthy nations and contributing little to global food security.
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is the arm of the Antarctic Treaty System responsible for managing the marine resources of the Southern Ocean, with a mandate to ensure fishing does not cause harm to the region. CCAMLR is responsible for the adoption of the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area (MPA), the world’s largest MPA (600,000 square miles) and a portion of the Southern Ocean which is now protected from commercial fishing through 2052.
The evidence-based commentary comes days before CCAMLR’s annual two-week meeting of science advisors and diplomats, beginning October 24 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It’s the Commission’s first in-person meeting since 2019.
“This is a critical moment for CCAMLR,” said Brooks. “They showed tremendous leadership in 2016 by adopting the Ross Sea region MPA and they can lead again now.”
The piece also publishes during the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, which supports scientific observations and research on oceans’ responses to environmental and anthropogenic pressures as the basis for sustainable development decisions.
With a precautionary interim distribution of the catch limit on krill set to expire after 2022, the Southern Ocean’s most abundant and important animal is especially at risk. The authors emphasize that short-term gains from fishing should not be allowed to be exploited. Instead, the region’s resources, beauty and benefits should be preserved for both present and future generations — something climate change already threatens.
“Amid the ongoing climate crisis and given the growing evidence that fishing in its current form is jeopardizing the Southern Ocean ecosystems, CCAMLR has the incredible responsibility to take conservation action now,” said Brooks.
