Last week, I had an interesting experience that served as a reminder that no matter how trained we are in personal accountability, it is a lifelong skill we must cultivate. I asked one of my co-workers to review a document we were about to send to a customer. It was late on Friday; I’d...
How are we responding to Friday's video?
Do you know what video I am referring to? If you check any news source, you will find a horrendous display of a complete lack of humanity. The violent acts of the five Memphis police officers on one person are so disproportionate it can’t even begin...
