In practice this means I demanded that we set standards for staff communication with our community to be professional and respectful. It meant transitioning people, shutting down pet projects, promoting some but not others, demanding goals and results to get funding.

I could take issue with several things you've said on this list, Lila, but I've tried to remain neutral for the sake of fairly moderating the conversation.
I really don't think I can let this one go, though. Would you please name one "pet project"—actually, I don't think it's so much to ask to name them all—that's had to be shut down?
And, for that matter, why? I honestly cannot think of any reason that this could not be truthfully and immediately answered.
