What Trumps Win Will Mean for NATO, Ukraine, Israel, and Iran -
Foreign Policy

Emma Ashford: Morning, Matt. We finally have an answer to the question
the world has been asking for months. The next president will be
Donald Trump—and he seems to have won, if not by a landslide, then
by a healthy margin in almost every key swing state. It’s a clear
mandate from the voters for another four-year Trump term.

Dont Overlook This Critical Skill When Interviewing Executives -
Harvard Business Review [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=90321&nl=daily]
Interviews with executive candidates cover a wide range of topics but
decision-making is too often left off the list. According to an
11-country study of over 500 senior executives at large enterprise
organizations across 12 industries, a full quarter reported never
discussing decision-making during an interview before accepting a
position. Those who did were more satisfied with their role. Further,
63% of senior executives reported resigned from a prior job or
considered doing so as a direct result of frustration with the
organizations decision-making. So, in addition to bringing up
decision-making in an executive search, consider defining the companys
current decision-making state with its ideal one, and be honest about
the decision-making challenges the organization faces. This will
better prepare the candidate for their new role, and increase the odds
of their success.

How America Embraced Gender War - The New Yorker
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=90321&nl=daily]
The big two genders are said to be at war. The results of the
Presidential election can hardly be read otherwise: in preliminary
exit-poll data out of Pennsylvania, women aged eighteen to twenty-nine
swung forty points for Kamala Harris, while their male counterparts
swung twenty-four points for Donald Trump. The conflictthe dark,
snarling, many-headed beast of indifference and contempt that emerges
from these numbershas been building for decades. Women in America, as
in nearly all industrialized democracies, used to be more conservative
than men; in the nineteen-seventies, they began to shift leftward,
then closed the partisan gap by the eighties, and during the nineties
became firmly more liberal than American men. The simplest explanation
for this is the most plausible one: women, acquiring education and
workplace power and economic independence, drew closer to a party that
valorized equality and away from a party that valorized hierarchy.
With birth control, with safe and legal abortion, the story went,
women gained control over their lives.
