There's a new power player at CVS after Karen Lynch's dismissalbut
he's not CEO - Fortune

It doesn’t sound exciting, and it’s unlikely many people
recognized Farah’s name, but investors should pay attention. At
least strictly speaking, Farah, 71, has become the most powerful
executive at this troubled company. His role in CVS’s turnaround
attempt will probably be significant, and if few people know his name,
that will be fine with him. When it’s suggested that his career
consists largely of high performance and a low profile, he responds,
“Thank you—that’s my strategy.”

The evidence of Farah’s newly conferred power at CVS is indicated by
a single word: “executive.” He had already been chairman of the
board for two years, but the difference between chairman and executive
chairman is all the difference in the world. Directors who aren’t
company employees do not have executive responsibilities. But
“executive chair means executive management,” says Charles Elson,
a corporate governance expert who has served on multiple boards.
“When you’re executive chair, the buck stops with you. You’re
the real CEO.”

6 Essential Leadership Skills ? and How to Develop Them - Harvard
Business Review [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=80964&nl=daily]
The way we work has changed ? and so has leadership. Leaders are under
new pressures to perform at higher levels and adapt quickly to
changing demands. In this article, the author shares advice from three
leadership experts and outlines the six skills leaders need to
succeed: 1) emotional aperture; 2) adaptive communication; 3) flexible
thinking; 4) perspective seeking, taking, and coordinating; 5)
strategic disruption skills; and 6) resilient self-awareness.
Developing these six key leadership skills isn?t just about your
personal growth, it?s about shaping the future of work and inspiring
those around you.

How Wagner survived Yevgeny Prigozhin?s death - The Economist
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=80964&nl=daily]
True friends, says Hassan Bouba, swigging from a mug with Vladimir
Putin?s face on it, ?are those who are by your side in the most
difficult moments. And Russia was with us in the most difficult of
moments.? Mr Bouba is the minister of livestock in the Central African
Republic (CAR), one of the world?s poorest and most fragile countries.
He is referring to the help the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary
outfit, gave his government in dispatching an armed rebellion nearly
four years ago. But Mr Bouba could equally have more personal memories
in mind. In 2021 the minister was arrested by a UN-backed special
court and charged with war crimes he allegedly committed when he was a
rebel fighting a previous government. Yet after only a week in prison
he was freed. Many suspected that Mr Bouba, known for his close
personal ties to Wagner, had his Russian friends to thank.

Fighting Florida's Invasive Python Problem One Step at a Time
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=80964&nl=daily]
Despite miles of ground covered as we drove through the Everglades
under the cover of darkness, it was impossible to ignore the fact that
we hadn?t spotted a single mammal. The expansive wetlands in South
Florida have long had a reputation for being rich in biodiversity and
brimming with wildlife. But the sad reality today is that native
species like mammals, birds, and reptiles that call the region home
are now in perilously short supply. The culprit behind the ecological
upheaval is a destructive and unyielding foe?an invasive species that
doesn?t belong in the Everglades, but whose successful adaptation to
its new environment has had a devastating impact: the Burmese python.

million. But, in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, attack on the
Capitol, Peltz, like many Republicans of all income levels, had

7th, he apologized for his vote and said that Trump would always be

Mr. Trump has told aides that he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 with the
