How Adam thinks
Preventive focus
Believes the right focus is raising boys and men who don’t commit violence rather than teaching women to avoid harm.
For you: You can help by supporting education that builds respectful behavior in boys.
Father effect on hiring
Notes that male bosses with a first daughter become 2.9% more likely to hire qualified women and pay them 4.4% more.
For you: You might consider how parental status influences your hiring decisions.
Sharing via giveaways
Uses giveaways of his book Vibe to spread ideas and engage audiences.
For you: You could amplify impact by offering your own resources to a community.
