  • Why Women Are Devalued In Leadership Roles

    The realm of commerce is a curious and bitter thing, where the worth of a house is judged not by its full coffers but by the gender of the lord who holds the seal. The maesters of the Citadel of Management have looked at the scrolls, scoured the ledgers of nearly 160 studies, and found a truth as cold as the winds of winter. Though a quee...
  • Two Egyptian Women Redefining Cinema

    A public swimming pool, reeking of chlorine and cheap sunscreen, became a battleground for the soul of a neighborhood. This is the world Kamla Abou Zekry cracks open in her 2016 feature, *Yom lel Setat*. A Day for Women. It’s a simple, almost banal premise. One day a week, the local pool is reserved for women only. But in Zekry’s hands, t...

  • How Artificial Intelligence Is Devouring Our Lives

    There is a deep and hungry thing being born, and it clashes with an old and simple wisdom. That wisdom, a grandmother’s rule made into law from Brussels to Brazil, is this: take only what you need. Use it for its purpose. Then, let it go. It is a principle of leaving things be, of respecting the quiet corners of a life. A tidiness of the ...
  • From Command To Connection

    In an age defined by the quiet hum of servers and the cool glow of screens, the nature of leadership is undergoing a profound transformation. As artificial intelligence grows capable of shouldering immense cognitive loads—analyzing markets, drafting reports, and predicting outcomes—the traditional pillars of authority are eroding. The new...

  • How Tariffs And Economic Uncertainty Are Reshaping The Advertising Landscape

    The government is closed. A stalemate over healthcare spending grinds the federal machine to a halt. On the streets, confidence plummets. Two-thirds of people look at the economy and see something broken, something poor. Their own finances feel fragile, a house of cards in a gathering wind. Then come the tariffs. A new tax on everything, ...
  • The Impact Of E-commerce Growth On Traditional Retail And Shopify's Rise To Prominence

A university president like Joseph Harroz Jr. finds himself contemplating not a spectrum of possibilities, but a stark bifurcat...
