Leading in Context

By Linda Fisher Thornton Have you noticed that the current fray about what to teach about difficult subjects has been focused on teaching "one way or the other?"

It's to teach students how to think, and how to navigate differences respectfully.

It’s perhaps fair to say that the rise in social media has made the behavior of firms and leaders, and the subsequent criticism of them, much more readily available, which as well as providing a welcome voice for previously under-represented groups, also encourages leaders to toe the line and act better.
