The meeting ends and everyone feels good. Decisions got made. Heads nodded. Nobody pushed back, and the room moved on without friction. To most leaders, that looks like a team working well together. Then the side conversations start. One person catches you afterward: “I didn’t think that was the right call.” Someone else messages privately about a concern they held back. A third has carried a frustration for months. All of it is relevant, and none of it reached the room, or the call, where the decision got made. After 25 years working with executive teams, I’ve come to believe…

You landed your dream job, or so you thought. But quiet doubts grow harder to ignore: “Did I choose right?” “Can I do this for the rest of my life?” “I want something more.” These questions seem to collide with major life transitions that often hit in your 30s or 40s: raising children, paying mortgages, and caring for parents in the same way they once cared for us. All of it converges into a pivotal decision: Do I stay on this career path, or do I shift and create something on my own? To better understand this shift, we conducted…

They say it’s difficult to go on the road on a short week, but does that apply when you’re the visiting team in your own stadium? I don’t know. The Saskatchewan Roughriders dropped a 40-34 decision to the Toronto Argonauts in front of 25,035 fans on Friday night, most of whom cheered for the “road” team at Mosaic Stadium. The CFL regular season is more of a marathon than a sprint, so there’s nothing to worry about in Riderville at this point. They were never going to go undefeated through 18 games.…

Ice Cube announced he’s heading to Orillia, Ontario, and he couldn’t have been briefer about it. The N.W.A founding member posted on Instagram on Wednesday with a single line: “Orillia…ready or not, we pullin’ up tomorrow. See it for yourself.” No event name, no venue – and that vagueness looks entirely intentional. The phrase “see it for yourself” points to something in person. He’s not asking people to stream anything or wait for a trailer. He wants them there. That kind of language usually means a live show or event you can’t catch on a screen. Orillia isn’t a regular…

The Mets tabbed Andy Green as interim manager after firing Carlos Mendoza on Friday morning. The 48-year-old Green is back in the dugout for the first time in seven years, but it’s not serving as an audition for the full-time role. President of baseball operations David Stearns told reporters that Green will return to the front office at the end of the season (relayed by Chelsea Janes of SNY). New York will do a full managerial search at the beginning of the offseason. Green has spent the past two and a half years as the team’s senior vice president of…

Amal Clooney admits she had to adjust to a different lifestyle after tying the knot with George Clooney. While speaking at a Cartier Dialogues event in Bangkok earlier this month, the international human rights lawyer, 48, detailed how things had shifted. “I used to have my work life and my personal life, and they could look quite different, and I was able to not have them mix and then I got married and that changed quite a lot,” Amal said, per a People article published on Friday, June 26. “And at first I was kind of conscious of that one-dimensional…

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A man with the same name and party affiliation as Alaska Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan is eligible to challenge the senator in the August primary, a judge ruled Friday. Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews’ ruling overturns a June 15 decision by Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher to disqualify the challenger and keep him off the primary ballot. Matthews’ ruling can be appealed to the state Supreme Court. Attorneys for the state have said Tuesday is the deadline for a final ruling so that ballots for the Aug. 18 primary can be printed. Attorneys for…
