ReThinking: Jacinda Ardern on leading with empathy and overcoming self-doubt (video)

Re:Thinking with Adam Grant

"When Jacinda Ardern was thrown into the race for New Zealand’s prime ministry just months before the general election in 2017, she had no intention of even running for the position—but she knew it was her responsibility to become the leader her country needed. 

In this episode, Adam and Jacinda reflect on strategies for closing confidence gaps, discuss the importance of compassion in leadership, and break down a phenomenon that New Zealanders call “tall poppy syndrome.” 

They also look back on Jacinda’s most pivotal decisions, from steering the country through the COVID pandemic to stepping down as Prime Minister."

"And that confusion is going to cause a real slowdown in the U.S. economy, if not a recession." (video)

"I think there's a certain confusion here. What are tariffs for?" @hooverinstitution senior fellow Niall Ferguson said in May, citing President Trump's conflicting rationales for taxing imports.

"And that confusion is going to cause a real slowdown in the U.S. economy, if not a recession."

How money has corrupted American values and institutions (video)

Scott Galloway in conversation on the Trevor Noah "What Now?" podcast:

"And I think where we came off the tracks is this idolatry of money. When I was a kid, my dad's boss had a slightly bigger house, but we all went to the same country club. We all went to the same school. Money buys you everything from better health care to better schools to a much broader selection set of mates. So we have become obsessed, understandably, with money.

The idolatry of the dollar and these tech innovators has gone berserk. And so the pursuit of the dollar, in my opinion, has crowded out almost all traditional character.  

Look what money has done to us. Look what it's done.  If you had a friend who was making Nazi salutes, a parent teacher conferences, and was being sued by two women for sole custody, their kids, and you had heard from credible sources that they were addicted to ketamine, wouldn't you move in and say, hey, boss, something's wrong here.

But not if you're rich, not if you can put a rocket into space or make a shit ton of money with EVs. Money has perverted us. It is crowded out all sense of character, of decency, of what it means to be a real man.

We have decided that you can get away with anything as long as you're rich. It's been a total, in my opinion, a lack of a moral failing.

Event background:

The Franklin Housing Authority has acquired the ‘long-time vacant’ property located at 813 Summer Street, Franklin. The beautifully renovated three-bedroom home will be leased to an income eligible family and the property will remain in the Town’s affordable housing stock through perpetuity.   

The process of obtaining the property took many years and has involved much assistance from several local officials, agencies and advocates.

 

Supporters included: State Representative Jeffrey Roy, Jamie Hellen, Town Administrator, Lisa Mosczynski, President, Metacomet Land Trust (MLT) and all of MLT’s Board of Directors including Treasurer Susan Speers, Attorney Michael Doherty, Attorney Richard Cornetta, Chairman Christopher Vericker, Franklin Municipal Affordable Housing Trust (MAHT) and all MAHT’s Trust Members including Christopher Feeley, Bank of America, Dean Bank, George Danello, Chairman of the Franklin Housing Authority (FHA) and all FHA Board Members.

Unofficial Override Results: The NO's take it by 185 votes (video)

The unofficial results of the override election are in.  You can listen as Town Clerk Nancy Danello make the announcement in the FHS gymnasium about 8:30 PM June 3, 2025

2025 2024

Yes = 5093     5542

No = 5278     5778

Blank =     4         5

Total = 10.375 11,325

Margin = 185          236

Percent turnout    40%            45%

So the budget balancing adjustments will need to be made. The Town Council is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, June 4. They already continued their 2nd FY 2026 budget hearing to this night. They were hoping to close the hearing and then approve the budget as proposed BUT with the No vote prevailing, the proposed cuts will need to be applied.

The Town Council will determine the amount of the school funding, the School Committee and Central Office will need to determine within their budget how that will fall out.

Likely the sports and bus fees will remain as this year, and there will be additional personnel cuts (10-15 were mentioned previously). They are scheduled to meet on June 10.

There are some important events remaining this week.

• The first Farmers market of the season opens Friday on the Town Common from 2 to 6 PM
• Franklin High School graduates in Class of 2025 Friday evening
• Little Women, the Musical opens at THE BLACK BOX for a run Friday, Sat and Sunday
• Porchfest returns to Franklin on Saturday, with the rain date for Sunday. You can find the full schedule of 30 porches and over 50 performances at Franklin Porchfest Info

For all the meetings and cultural events, check out the calendars at Franklin.news  where each day, that day's events are posted on the top of the page, the TV and radio schedules are on the bottom, and all the other goodness falls in-between.
