Thought of the day 3/1/2026

This is management 101. It's the kind of obvious statement that cult leaders promulgate as though it stemmed from their own deep thinking.

On the other hand, I couldn't help but feel queasy when I read it. What was the context? Had some Reference Person (i.e. leader) threatened to blow the whistle on Harvey's serial rape? Am I reading too much into it?

The elements of the kind of charisma I want leaders to have are, first of all, integrity and honesty – meaning what they say and keeping their word when they give it.
