Let’s start with this dumb ass GIF that I’ve watched too many times

This is a masterpiece that just gets better every time you watch it. I’m sure it’s all set-up, but it’s still super funny.

📰 The Best Leaders Are Versatile Ones

It is not an overstatement to say that versatility is the most important component of leading effectively today. Versatile leaders have more engaged employees and higher performing teams. Their business units are more adaptable and innovative. Their organizations are more capable of gaining a competitive advantage because they know how to disrupt before being disrupted.

📰 Take One Last Look at the (Many) Plastic Bags of New York

Death to plastic! Or, RE-USE to plastic! I’m not really sure what the solution is, but I know plastic is bad for the environment so, this ban is a good thing.

Beginning March 1, single-use plastic carryout bags will be banned in New York State.

Plastic bags will notvanish: Enforcement will be lenient at first, and the law allows a number of exceptions, from the expected (dry cleaning, food delivery) to the niche (bulk-buying live insects). But if the ban is successful, these now-familiar objects may eventually become artifacts of a New York City past.
