If he's 55 now, then he was 15 when the miners strike ended in 1985. There are no 55 year old ex-miners.

2/2 Cultural rights. The remains of the original moa are sensitive and protected as Toanga Tuturu (treasured objects). Should the digital and physical models also be protected?

Scanned moa had previously been articulated incorrectly led to need for physical twin that demonstrated what was scanned and what extrapolated from reference collection. #DigitalHeritage

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

magnified leader will step back and let the team talk

encouraging others to take on leadership training and coaching has very impressive results

#Business #Leadership

even #MichaelJordan had a coach

be intentional, be curious, be vulnerable, be empathetic

people will then reach out and are personal in their connection

Piscitelli's how to become a thought leader
1. identify your niche
2. develop a content plan
3. engage with your audience
4. monitor and adjust

share your knowledge, share your passion

#MattPiscitelli - #thought leadership
1/2

thought leaders possess a distinctively original idea, unique point of view, or an unprecedented insight into their industry

very easy to be a self-declared #thoughtleader - and by doing so, you lack credibility

3/3

#sergeants = #CrewChiefs are needed - to control and lead small teams

#fieldtechs should know what success looks like

effective leaders make everyone working for them want to do a better job

your peers are the hardest to lead, exacerbated by proximity

are you teaching junior leaders to lead or to progress

#StephenHumphreys - field leadership
1/3

#Archaeology has selected field leaders because of technical competence - not because of leadership skills

#AVAR promotion based on compassion, composure and competence - and compassion can't be taught

suggestion from the audience - attend party fundraisers (often reasonably priced) - when you are on the donor list, it becomes much easier to get meetings with politicians

Grassroots #Advocacy at the State Level

#AndrewGoldberg bringing policymakers to communities (ideally in their constituency) is much more effective than arranging a (short, chaotic?) meeting at that politician's office

connect with staff, they can then lead you to the elected member
