The Endowment Effect often has us sticking to the familiar, especially in the #Agile domain, where initial costs are high and benefits can take time to appear. Make change easier to consider - to reduce risks and costs, and find ways to make changes reversible. 🌟
Feeling pushed triggers our 'anti-persuasion radar,' even if the push aligns with our goals. Many want to speak up more in team meetings. However, when it's a corporate drive, we question if it's our choice or a push, leading to silence.
Has anyone seen Agile transitions fail because of this?
The TidePod challenge grew from a warning that felt like a restriction. When people perceive a threat to their autonomy, they tend to rebel. To have real influence, start with understanding their needs
THREAD: This might sound crazy, but in Ursula von der Leyen's official schedule, which you can view online, there wasn’t a single meeting with environmental activists listed at any time in the past year. What we did find, in the past 4 months alone, were 3 separate meetings with farming groups.
The latest #doxxing attempt fits a pattern of #threats against people who speak out against Trump.
The addresses & phone numbers of fmr Trump lawyer Cohen's family members were posted to a doxxing website after Trump was #convicted of 34 #felony counts in connection w/a scheme to illegally #influence the #2016election.
9 #witnesses in the #criminal cases against #Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, & a grant of shares & cash from Trump’s media co.
White-collar defense #lawyers say the situation #Trump finds himself in—…defendant & boss of many of the …primary #witnesses to his alleged #crimes —is not uncommon. Their standard advice is not to provide any unusual benefits or penalties to such employees. Ideally, decisions about employees slated to give #evidence should be made by an independent body….
Attempts to exert undue #influence on #witnesses have been a repeated theme of #Trump investigations & #criminal cases over the yrs.
Trump’s fmr campaign mgr & fmr campaign adviser were #convicted on #WitnessTampering charges in 2018 & 19. The adviser told a witness to “do a ‘Frank Pentangeli’”–a character in “The Godfather Part II” who lies to a Senate cmte investigating #OrganizedCrime. Trump later #pardoned both men….(He didn’t pardon a co-defendant of the campaign manager who had cooperated)
Well, now we can finally declare AI as a foreign destination and declare it as such. Then the eavesdropping and exertion of influence would at least be "honest" clowns.

CARMINE APPICE Knows For A 'Fact' That JOHN BONHAM Was Influenced By His Drumming
In a new interview with RadioBypass, legendary drummer Carmine Appice was asked if he thinks LED ZEPPELIN's John Bonham "picked up" any "tricks" from him when ZEPPELIN opened for VANILLA FUDGE early in the latter band's career. Carmine responded: "I know [it] as...
#Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection w/a #HushMoney payment made to a porn star to influence the 2016 election. The case could be in the jury’s hands as early as Wed.
[…] "Im Moment wird der Einsatz von KI in erster Linie von Geschäftsmodellen, Investitionen und Profit getrieben – vom Kapitalismus. KI ist ein Werkzeug unter vielen, um kapitalistische Strukturen zu stärken. Dabei geht es nicht um Gerechtigkeit, Fairness oder Gleichheit, sondern eine Welt der Ungleichheit." […]
🧵 …auch wenn viele Menschen die KI nicht selbst bewusst nutzen, heißt dies noch lange nicht, dass es keine Auswirkung auf die Menschheit im allgemeinem hat. Dessen Einsatz ist öfters Staatlich kommerziell, siehe oben.

#ElonMusk has steadily ramped up his criticism of #Biden…. Musk has posted about Biden ≥7X a month since Jan, attacking the president for everything from his age to his policies on immigration & health. Before that, he posted about Biden twice in Dec & not at all in Nov. In all, #Musk had posted nearly 40X about Biden this year, compared w/about 30X for all of last year.
In contrast, #Musk had posted >20X this yr about #Trump. In those posts, #ElonMusk defended Trump, arguing that he is a #victim of #media & prosecutorial #bias in the #criminal cases that Trump faces.
Musk’s posts…signal…a willingness to tip the #political scales as the owner of an influential #SocialMedia#platform, something that no other leader of a social media firm has done. And Musk exerts outsize #influence over the political discourse on X, where he regularly posts to his 184M followers
