These 10 strategies are adapted from Results-Based Leadership(Harvard Business School Press, Boston, www.hbsp.harvard.edu). Honestly, I’ve read more than my share of books on leadership, but this book crystallizes the characteristics of a leader who is driven by results. I believe that all people who lead others in any way or in any organization should read [...]
So You Want To Be In Management
Ah, management. The thought just causes your eyes to glaze over, doesn’t it? The golf games, the easy office life, the perks, the expense accounts, the company car, the company credit cards, and the fabulous salary.
From this corporate officer’s standpoint, just remember this: if you aren’t the lead dog, the view never changes.

Roundup and Link Love Wordpress 2.5 Edition
OK. I did it. I upgraded. The jury is still out. Several of my favorite plugins do not work and I kinda wish I had waited until they were re-written for 2.5, but it’s too late now.

Things I DIDN’T Learn in College: Part 4 - How I Learned to Stop Fooling Myself

People carry laptops home and continue working (kinda like what I’m doing), they answer emails while on vacation in Disney World, they take business cell phone calls while out to dinner with their families.
