Dear Joe - Since you have never held an executive position before this one, let me teach you a few things.
1. When you reach the C-Suite of an organization, you are paid for results, not excuses. The blame game is for middle managers. Leaders lead, or they leave.
2. If you don't know how to do a particular thing very well, you surround yourself with people who do, and then lean on them for their expertise. Building an organization based upon the staff's intersectional identifiers rather than on their demonstrated competencies is little more than filling clown cars - and you, the ringmaster, look like the village idiot.
3. When managing budgets, you should spend less than you bring in. Fiscal responsibility is good for everyone.
4. As the leader of an organization, or a country, you should build value in the quality of that organization. Allowing criminals cross our borders unchecked reduces the overall quality of our country and diminishes our reputation in the world.
5. Allowing non-citizens to vote eviscerates the value of the vote. Why should anyone strive for citizenship of they get all of the benefits of citizenship without the effort? It's harder to get a Costco card than it is to cross our southern border and get a monthly government support check.
