Nationally, Chicago is depicted by Republicans as a Democratic-run city that’s an incubator of lawlessness. There’s no doubt that policing is on the ballot in Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city. Taken together, these elections will provide snapshots of how issues like crime and abortion, which were top of mind for voters in the midterms last fall, are playing out in the first quarter of 2023.Ĭhicago mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson, left, and Paul Vallas participate in a public safety forum in Chicago, Tuesday, March 14, 2023. There’s also a mayoral contest in Denver that’s drawn a whopping 16 candidates. There is the Chicago mayoral runoff a contest that will determine the balance of power on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and in Los Angeles, a seven-candidate race to fill the seat vacated by a former city council president.

Never one to miss out on a fundraising opportunity, his fundraising arm is already selling T-shirts with a faux mugshot on it, the date of the court appearance and “Not Guilty” emblazoned in bold black letters. Trump is set to address his supporters from Mar-a-Lago this evening. We’ll keep monitoring the legal and political drama this arraignment brings. Yours truly and The Recast’s editor Teresa Wiltz will share moderating duties. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Democratic strategist Terrance Woodbury - as well as Rep. We'll have two of our Power Listers - Rep. ET for a conversation exploring how power dynamics are changing and what challenges still need to be addressed. Don’t forget to join us on tomorrow April 5 at 9 a.m. “In a decade of law enforcement, I never met a prosecutor who couldn’t follow the law and keep politics out of their work,” Elliot Williams, a former federal prosecutor during the Obama administration, tells The Recast. By moving forward with the case, he is betting big that he can deliver a conviction in a potentially legacy-defining case. And yes, while it is in fact true that no other former president has been criminally charged, Bragg is as much a trailblazer as the nation’s 45th commander in chief.īragg of course is the first African American to serve as the Manhattan district attorney and he’s been in office a little more than a year. They’re looking at it through the prism of history. Some view the courtroom drama as just the latest chapter of Trump’s unprecedented political career. You’ll get a twice-weekly breakdown of how race and identity are the DNA of American politics and policy. Was The Recast forwarded to you by a friend? Don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter here. No surprise, Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges. She also alleges she and Trump had an affair years earlier, which Trump denies. The 34-count indictment brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and unsealed Tuesday afternoon largely stems from alleged hush money payments then-candidate Trump made through a fixer, Michael Cohen, to buy the silence of an adult film star Stormy Daniels. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and George Santos of New York added to the spectacle, making cameos at the pro-Trump protests across the street from where he’d be arraigned hours later. Today, the political circus is in full effect, with the Manhattan courthouse - where former President Donald Trump surrendered to authorities and was arraigned on criminal charges - serving as center ring. First, though, we focus on a historic first in U.S. And! It’s Election Day in Wisconsin, Chicago, Los Angeles and Denver. What up, Recast family!

Often people’s first instinct when talking about Knowledge Management is to shrink away and leave it for someone else to do. One final word on documentation and Knowledge Management, there is power in writing the words that build and train the team. Take a look around your team right now and consider, how many of us have to get hit by a bus for our Customer Success machine to stop working? If you answer that question with anything other than, “All of us could go and the customers would still be taken care of”, then you have some work to do documenting your processes and cross training other departments. It needs to be someone’s responsibility to update and edit your internal sources of knowledge to guard against the Bus Factor. But if your team doesn’t have one in the form of a playbook or handbook, then you’re fighting a losing battle! Don’t skimp on your internal sources of knowledge either! It’s all fine and good to have a beautiful customer-facing Knowledge Base about the product. Follow your team and company’s best practices for creating knowledge.īoth you and your customers should each have a knowledge base that is comprehensive and details the answers to every question that may arise throughout your day to day. I’m also not suggesting you just edit your internal playbooks without getting team input. To be clear, I’m not telling you to create articles willy-nilly without speaking to the person(s) at your company who own the customer-facing knowledge base. If you’re looking to link to an article for the Knowledge Base and you realize such an article does not exist, then it’s your job to create the article. To that end, I have two simple maximums to share with you to help you pay attention to your Knowledge Management when dealing with customer inquiries:Įvery reply you send to a customer who has a product question needs to include a link to your Knowledge Base. The way you document and manage your internal and external knowledge can be the difference between a highly performing team or one made up of people just putting out fires. Documentation is everything in a business - it’s the only thing that allows for repeatability and scaling. This is something companies tend to throw to the wayside and never really realize the problem it causes when the knowledge is not actively curated and edited. It refers to a multidisciplinary approach to achieve organisational objectives by making the best use of knowledge.”Ĭhances are, you’re not intentional about your Knowledge Management at your place of work. “Knowledge Management is the process of creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization. For those of you who have never heard of it before, I’m going to steal directly from Wikipedia without any shame: I know, I know, some of you may be thinking “Why do I need a screenshot app when I have the snipping tool on my Mac?” Well, buckle up, my friends! Your snipping tool could learn a thing or two from Skitch.īefore we jump into Skitch, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the principle called Knowledge Management. Skitch is another screenshot app, similar to our previous review of Jing. Last month’s Front review was a rather large app and this time around we’re going to concentrate on a small one hit wonder as it were: Skitch! In this Apps for Success productivity tool review we are scaling it down a bit. |
