Sometimes a quotation encourages you to consider something you weren’t expecting. This is one of those . . . “You have to allow a certain amount of time in which you are doing nothing in order to have things occur to you, to let your mind think.” – Mortimer Adler, philosopher, educator, and author Questions to Ponder [...]

Ever wanted to be able to access your stuff from any computer or digital device? Have you ever had your smartphone with you and wish you had that piece of info or wanted to remember the website you saved as a favorite on your computer? Have you ever wanted a place to keep all sorts [...]

My daughter is 12. Last Christmas she got her first laptop, and last Sunday she got her first cell phone. These are perhaps the first two tools new employees receive after getting their employee handbook. These tools are incredibly valuable, and have been (along with other technologies) responsible for huge gains in productivity over the [...]

This post has created lots of conversation – I have received a number of emails, had personal conversations and several people wrote lengthy comments on the blog post as well.

Every leader I talk with, coach or train tell me the same thing. They all tell me they have lots to do – more than they did six months or a year ago, with no end in sight. I could write a post about the factors that lead that to be true, but that isn’t this post. [...]

Yesterday I read an interesting and practical post by Jo Owen called Seven Leadership Traits that the Gurus Don’t Tell You. While written from a C-level perspective it contains some useful thoughts for all leaders and I encourage you to read it. It became the jumping off point for about two pages of notes and [...]
