What Makes a Great Leader?

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=100158&nl=daily
leaders master three key roles — architect, bridger, and catalyst,
or ABCs — to access the talent and tools they need to drive
innovation and impact. As architects, they build the culture and
capabilities for co-creation. As bridgers, they curate and enable
networks of talent inside and outside their organizations to
co-create. And as catalysts, they lead beyond their organizational
boundaries to energize and activate co-creation across entire
ecosystems. These ABCs require leaders to stop relying on formal
authority as their source of power and shift to a style that enables
diverse talent to collaborate, experiment, and learn together — a
challenging yet essential personal transformation.

The Fundamental Problem with R.F.K., Jr.,s Nomination to H.H.S. - The
New Yorker (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=100158&nl=daily]
In 2018, two children in Samoa died after receiving measles vaccines,
because the nurses who administered them had mistakenly mixed the
vaccine powder with a muscle relaxant. Local vaccine skeptics seized
on the tragedy, and the government temporarily suspended its
immunization program. Childrens Health Defense, an organization
chaired by RobertF. Kennedy, Jr., posted about the events on Facebook,
where the group was one of the largest purchasers of anti-vaccine
advertisements. The Samoan government reinstated the program,
following an investigation. But immunization rates remained perilously
low, with less than a third of infants getting vaccinated, and, a few
months later, the country experienced a devastating measles outbreak.
Nearly six thousand people were infected, and more than seventy
children died. Kennedy, who had meanwhile visited the island, sent the
Prime Minister a letter raising the regrettable possibility that these
children are casualties of vaccinationnot of a lack of it. He later
called the outbreak mild, and branded a Samoan vaccine opponent a
medical freedom hero.
