One of the greatest (if not most brief) privileges of my career—landing a position as an officer at the NIH, which ended abruptly for so many of us. There are no harder working, dedicated individuals than my former colleagues at NIDCR. Grateful to have been entrusted to serve. #OralHealthForAll

Why We Follow Narcissistic Leaders hbr.org/2023/01/why-...
Why We Follow Narcissistic Leaders
A recent study aimed to understand narcissistic leaders and who is most likely to follow them. The results revealed a few patterns. If you are someone who is always looking out for others, empathizes with others, and seeks harmony and consensus in your team (known as agreeable followers), you are more likely to be susceptible to following a narcissistic leader. If you are someone who gets anxious and worried easily, or likes to get started on work projects early on to prevent anxiety as a deadline draws closer (known as neurotic followers), you probably prefer engaging with narcissistic leaders.

Elon Musk has succeeded in spite of the way he treats others, not because of it.
Belittling is not a leadership strategy—it reflects a lack of self-control. Demeaning doesn't get results—it thwarts productivity.
Disrespect for the status quo can be a virtue. Disrespect for people is a vice.

They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.
When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Validation is very important to traumatized individuals. Emotionally responsible people will support you and validate how you feel so the individual can become a productive person once again for society.. Invalidation does nothing but further victimize the individual.

By letting business leaders redefine the purpose of higher education as job preparation, we have completely eviscerated the value of research and the notion that universities are public goods and should be funded as such. We need to show society our real value, and it’s not narrow job prep.

For what it’s worth, some of us who held these roles on a probationary basis were placed on administrative leave on 2/18 with an official termination date of 3/14. Check for our removal from the system after Friday.
