- colemannugent 8y agoLittle things like this build more trust with me than all the carefully written press release blogs ever could.
- marricks 8y agoI think this falls under “I want a president I would have a beer with”, you’re judging something by a bad metric.
- beambot 8y agoSeems that you believe you possess the authority to judge the worthiness of someone else's metric...? Curious.
- carlosdp 8y agoOnly if it's the only metric. I've worked with people who would never be comfortable making jokes like that in a public forum, always having their "PR-mode" on, and they tend to be the ones that don't have a ton of empathy. Being able to interact with the community in a human way is definitely a good signal, imo.
- marricks 8y agoEh... for a small organization sure but I think relatability from big wigs is more used as a way to hand wave controversies than being used for actual good? I think the president analogy really holds. A president who you could have a beer with can get away with a lot more crap then one who has to prove it through policy. I’m definitely being a bit nit picky, just saying it’s not a good metric.
