![]() While hybrid is often presented as a new model, the fundamentals of what transforms a group of people into an exceptional team haven’t changed as much as we might think. When I was the senior vice president of people operations at Google, we had many employees, especially in engineering and sales, who worked from home a few days each week (even if we didn’t call it hybrid back then). A CEO of a 50,000-person retailer told me they don’t think it’s fair that retail staff have to be in their stores while executives and senior managers work from home, but the office workers don’t want to come back and he’s afraid of losing technology and data science staff. ![]() The CTO of a 30,000-person consulting firm told me the pandemic has been great for senior partners who no longer have to travel the world and are moving to low-cost havens like Bermuda, but miserable for associates who miss out on the coaching and apprenticeship of the “before times.”.One technology CHRO told me that her 80,000 employees are pulsed weekly on how they are feeling, but admits her boss, the CEO, has no idea what it means when the scores move around.As CEO at Humu, where we help Fortune 500 companies build world-class cultures, I’ve seen firsthand how experienced leadership teams are struggling to navigate the shift to hybrid work and maintain a culture of excellence. ![]()

But in the scaffolding around this timely policy argument there’s a much more complex story about the Senate as an institution and its role in American democracy. Calhoun and its deployment to delay civil rights legislation for many decades, while at the same time showing that the filibuster-as-supermajority is not rooted in the structure or any original conception of the Senate and has been changed often, Jentleson makes an entirely persuasive, historically sound, well-researched case. In tracing the filibuster back to its roots in the pro-slavery pretextual political theory of John C. Its author spent the first months of 2021 making the rounds of MSNBC panels to make that case to the already-convinced. ![]() Because the book arrives at a moment when the legislative filibuster is the hinge on which voting rights and most of President Biden’s agenda after the American Rescue Plan (passed through a tortured budget procedure that requires only 50 votes) depends, Kill Switch has been read mostly as an extended case for filibuster reform. ![]() Mark Schmitt reviewed Kill Switch, Adam Jentleson's book on the Senate filibuster, for Democracy Journal. ![]() ![]() Gravity is a long-range force in contrast to the strong and weak forces (Table 1). ![]() Therefore every particle in the entire universe actually attracts every other particle. As Newton showed, the attractive gravity between any two masses gets less and less as the distance between them gets greater, but it never quite reaches zero ( see aside‘Designer Gravity’). ![]() Note that gravity is by far the weakest of the four, yet it dominates on the scale of large space objects. Gravity is one of four known fundamental forces of nature (Table 1). Newton’s universal Law of Gravity is one of the great science discoveries of all time. Earth’s gravity actually causes the moon to fall about one millimetre away from a straight-line path, each second, as it orbits the earth (Figure 1). He realized that the same force that causes an apple to fall to the ground also holds the moon in its orbit. Isaac Newton asked this question in 1686, and concluded that gravity was an attractive force between all objects. The moon continually falls toward, or around, the earth, as do the planets around the sun. In this distance it deviates about one millimetre from a straight line due to the earth’s gravitational pull (dotted line). During each second the moon travels about one km (about half a mile). ![]() An illustration of the moon’s orbit, not drawn to scale. Gravity – the ‘string’ that holds things in orbit.įigure 1. ![]() |
