Thoughts on Power

CaseInterview.com

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the idea of power. For the entirety of my career, I’ve operated in the world of power. At first, it was the world of Fortune 500 boardrooms.

When the Union Wins

Martinka Consulting

The teacher’s unions won, at least in the Puget Sound area; most districts are not returning to the classroom in any material way. Based on the teachers I know, I’d say the union protected the 20% (it’s always the 80-20 rule, isn’t it) of teachers who took advantage of the situation.
