| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes, the forecast is dreadful. Worse, 1.5C has been surpassed which adds | Sep 04 05:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | massive energy to the storms and other disturbances. IFF the world pulls | Sep 04 05:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | together and works hard to reduce fossil fuel usage, we can beat 1.8C | Sep 04 05:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But that is IFF, which is not going to happen. One has to fight anyway though. | Sep 04 05:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | It was observed last year or so that Europe is no longer at peace with Russia, | Sep 04 05:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but the assertion at the time was that it was not yet at war. That is no longer | Sep 04 05:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | true. The Kremlin has been openly at war with Europe (and the West in general) | Sep 04 05:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for a while now, including shooting towards UK boats. The EU needs to get off | Sep 04 05:50 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "What I learned is that great leaders balance the needs of all their stakeholders: shareholders, employees (yes employees), customers, and sustainability needs. If the criterion is “CEOs who genuinely treated employees as valuable human beings—not merely as labor”, I’d put these near the top: | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Ken Olsen — DEC | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A remarkable engineering culture. Olsen gave technical people enormous autonomy, trusted their judgment, and built DEC around the idea that talented employees should have meaningful responsibility. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Bill Hewlett & David Packard — HP | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The classic example of the “HP Way.” They emphasized trust, respect for individuals, flexible management, and giving engineers room to innovate. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Patagonia’s Yvon Chouinard | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Built a company around employees, purpose, and quality of life rather than maximizing short-term shareholder returns. His philosophy was unusually explicit about putting people and the planet ahead of conventional corporate thinking. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Costco’s Jim Sinegal | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | One of the strongest examples of an executive deliberately paying and treating employees better than the industry norm. He believed employee loyalty translated into better customer service and a stronger business. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Herb Kelleher — Southwest Airlines | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Famous for putting employees first. His philosophy was essentially: take care of employees, and they'll take care of customers. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Tony Hsieh — Zappos | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Made company culture a central management discipline. He viewed employee happiness and a strong culture as strategic assets, not perks. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Mary Barra — General Motors | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Particularly notable for emphasizing accountability, safety, inclusion, and employee voice while running an enormous industrial organization. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Satya Nadella — Microsoft | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | His transformation of Microsoft was strongly associated with replacing an internally competitive culture with one emphasizing empathy, learning, collaboration, and a growth mindset. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Andy Grove — Intel | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | More demanding than the others, but highly respectful of technical talent. Grove expected a lot from people while giving them substantial responsibility and emphasizing intellectual honesty. | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Richard Branson — Virgin | Sep 04 15:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Consistently promoted the idea that leaders should take care of employees first, believing engaged employees create better customer experiences." | Sep 04 15:58 |
