What Sets Genius Teams Apart The most successful executive teams can achieve outsized outcomes, but they can also be challenging to manage and be a part of. The author, a psychologist who has worked with executive teams for over 20 years, explains what sets the best teams apart — their members’ raw capacity, the scale of their aspiration and achievement, and their constant generative tension — and unpacks how to manage the latter so that teams are productive, not destructive.

Israeli rockets hit a school in Gaza. Hamas claimed that the strike killed 100 people, which would make it one of the conflict’s deadliest attacks. Israel claimed it had hit a Hamas “command-and-control centre” in the school. Displaced Gazans were using the al-Tabin school, in central Gaza city, as a shelter. Egypt’s foreign ministry said the attack showed Israel had no intention of ending the war.

You’re settled into your long-haul, international flight. The cabin pressure has stabilized, the seat belt sign is off, and the bar cart is heading down the aisle. Finally time to unwind—and there’s nothing like a Bloody Mary or a glass of wine to help you doze off for a few hours, right?

WorkWhere Tim Walz Stands on the Issues
Now that Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, his progressive policy record is in the spotlight as the Trump campaign casts him as a “radical leftist.”
WorkThe Irony of Republicans' 'Tampon Tim' Insult
Even before the official announcement that Tim Walz would be named the vice presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket, the Internet churned out a cacophony of clips and quips reflecting his progressive bona fides. As Minnesota governor embracing a gaggle of children at the bill signing for free school breakfasts and lunches. As folksy dad joking with his daughter, a vegetarian, about whether turkey is meat. (According to Walz, “In Minnesota, turkey is special.”) Work

Over 80 percent of lifeguard rescues in the United States, and 60 percent of Royal National Lifeboat Institution lifeguard incidents in the United Kingdom, are related to rip currents, partly because they are so difficult to spot. In June, five tourists drowned in four days off one Florida beach after getting caught in a rip current. WorkHarris Hopes a New Playbook Will Neutralize G.O.P. Attacks on Immigration
No other Democrat nominee has taken a position this tough on border security since Bill Clinton. Her stance reflects a change in public opinion since Mr. Trump left the White House in 2021. More Americans, including many Democrats and Latino voters, have expressed support for hard-line immigration measures. WorkWorkWorkTrump campaign says it was hacked by foreign actors
\"We should absolutely expect that foreign actors will attempt to influence and that they will interfere,\" Jen Easterly, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said at a January congressional hearing, referring to the 2024 election. \"To be very clear, Americans should have confidence in the integrity of our election infrastructure because of the enormous amount of work that\'s been done.\" WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkMap shows USA 2024 Olympics medal winners by state

The mission required forcefulness and tact. The land is private and belongs to South Texas ranchers, many indifferent or hostile. Some have created armed posses dressed in military gear to hunt up the migrants and turn them over to the authorities, as shown in a trenchant 2021 documentary about Mr. Canales’s work, “Missing in Brooks County.” WorkWorkWorkWorkIs It Harris' or Harris's?

“People want to know what the rules are because they want to do this correctly,” said Mr. Barg, who was raised on The A.P. Stylebook. But at the same time, “you can’t impose language from the top down — it’s a bottom-up thing,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a learning experience for us as a country.” WorkWorkFrom Tips to TikTok, Trump Swaps Policies With Aim to Please Voters
In 2017, Mr. Trump’s Labor Department proposed changing federal regulations to allow employers to collect tips that their workers receive and use them for essentially any purpose as long as the workers were paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. In theory, the flexibility would make it possible for restaurant owners to ensure that cooks and dishwashers received part of a pool of tip money, but in practice employers could pocket the tips and spend them at their discretion. WorkWhere Are the Trumpiest Ads? All Over Truth Social.
In effect, Trump Media’s business is financed by right-wing merchants with relatively small ad budgets, including some that have been kicked off other social media platforms or are trying to jump on the Trump bandwagon. It has created what amounts to a closed-loop ecosystem: a Trump-centric site that depends on many ads by and for Trump loyalists. That contrasts with larger social networks, like Facebook and X, which run ads from Fortune 500 companies like Disney and Walmart, raising questions about how much Trump Media can grow. WorkWorkIsraeli Strikes on Schools Pose a Life-or-Death Choice for Civilians
Ahmed Tahseen Abd Shabat, a 25-year-old who had been living at the Hafsa government school in Gaza City with his two brothers and parents, told The New York Times by phone that they arrived there as a last resort after fleeing 10 times since Oct. 7, when Hamas led a deadly attack on Israel that began the conflict. WorkWorkOpinion | Kamala Harris Is Speaking. Is She Listening?
Rafsky died in February 1993, one month into the first Clinton administration.

WorkOpinion | Trump, by the Numbers

Multiple lawsuits have been filed in the wake of Musk’s Twitter acquisition from employees alleging they were not paid properly after they were laid off or fired.

The latest lawsuit says that “Mr. Kordestani is one of many former Twitter employees whose compensation has been wrongfully withheld by X Corp. following Elon Musk’s purchase of the Company in October 2022.” |
