Cliq Local Manager is a great new product and can open up markets for Systems integrators or allow traditional locksmiths to upgrade their mechanical systems coming to the end of patent protection. Why install a traditional system when you can have all the benefits and control of a Mechatronic system controlled with software. #digitalrevolution #locksmiths #keymanagement #accesscontrol #accesscontrolsystems #estates#facilitiesmanagement …see more

I used to be a Steve Kerr fan. No longer. Read this piece on Nowitski decision, and Nelson (coach) owned that decision not to play him. Kerr not only deferred all decisions to GM but did not make the hard choice: prohibiting KD from playing. True leaders own their choices good or bad. That’s not easy. If you are a leader and your institution fails and falls into sewer and you have been leader for more than a couple years, you own it ... denial is both unleader-like and disingenuous. Kerr fell in my book; courage and making hard decisions are the hallmarks of real leaders. Sadly, we are seeing too many examples of leadership failure. Bad role models too — in athletics and education. What happened to following the adage that leaders take the blame? Maybe these leaders are working so hard to keep their jobs that they don’t do their jobs. Bad news on all fronts. Wear a sign as a coach or college president or any other leader: the buck stops with me. That’s in case one forgets!!! …see more

Part 2: Okinawa I spent a number of hrs at Kadina Air Force base and off base w/ military personnel stationed in Okinawa. Many thoughts but here are 3: (1) Service members do a remarkable job protecting our freedom but it isn’t easy on them or their families. They are moving frequently, adjusting to new homes, cultures and jobs. That’s why tradition-from music to ceremoniesis so impt. It creates continuity in world of discontinuity. (2) I spent time w/ military children on and off base. As someone w/ expertise in trauma, I saw too many kids w/ autonomic nervous systems on alert. I cld identify, among some 30 kids, 4 or 5 who weren’t in a gd spot, evidenced by factors including: trouble concentrating, diminished memory, flocking (hanging off stranger’s leg), not sensing personal space, trouble w/ abstractions. We wld be wise to have trauma sensitive child care centers across the globe w/ common traditions creating continuity. 3. Our military are well trained, and training and preparation are perpetual. Not just physical training either. Outside the military, continuing education isn’t ubiquitous. We’d do well to require those, even at the top, to continue learning, challenging themselves w/ new advances and constant exposure to younger people. Businesses wld benefit. …see more

This is an important read - and one of the many reasons why I consider Adam Q. to be among the most important voices addressing inclusion in venture capital (and why I am honored and grateful to consider him a friend and mentor).
