The Myth of the Management Myth
On a plane yesterday I read a truly awful new article in The Atlantic. Called "The Management Myth", it is nominally about how management theory is a waste, MBAs are dangerous, philosophy rules, and consultants are nasties.

I’m in the Houston airport…
…wondering how my confirmed ticket to Dallas was cancelled, leaving me stranded for three hours with nothing to do other than what I usually do when I find myself in this unfortunate situation with absolutely no control over getting what I really want, which is to be on the plane I was originally booked on, filling the three hours with stuff I should have done in the time I had personally allotted for it, but didn’t do.

I'd be a lousy pilot
Sitting behind the pilot on a tiny plane today, I was reminded how important, difficult and tedious this job is.

Security Theatre
Almost everything that happens before you fly on a plane is not as it seems. In order to deal with anxiety, the airlines put on a show. They've been doing it for a long, long time, and it's starting to show signs of wear and tear. The show is getting old and the lies are starting to show. Here's some snips from an Economist article (hat tip to the Freaknomics blog):

Frequent Flyers: How To Maximize Your Air Time
Have you ever found yourself sitting on a plane for a one or two-hour flight, wishing you had something to do? While frequent flyers or road warriors often have gear like Blackberries or laptops so they can work while en-route, there are other ways to use that air time that may in fact result in more productivity and less stress in the long run.

Be a Self-Starter
A race car has a tremendous amount of potential energy but cannot start until someone waves the green flag. The powerful engines of a jet cannot lift that plane one-inch off the ground without ample runway and someone activating its controls.

Use Rituals to Create What You Want
Throughout history, rituals have played an important role in society to usher in new beginnings, communicate intention and celebrate achievement. The notion of communicating directly with the unseen, intangible world of the universe while living on the physical plane is a new one for most people.

Why you need to get your legal agreements sorted for 2011
Normally when I go on holiday I think very little of things like travel insurance and the terms and conditions of my airline ticket. But as I sit here contemplating whether to board a plane this evening to snow covered London, these two documents are at the forefront of my mind. We all need to adopt the same approach to documentation in our businesses and below explain why.

Do Planes Have Horns?
In the not so distant past, my niece’s four-year old son, Hollis, was getting on a plane. Hollis is a frequent traveler. As usual, the energetic four-year old ran down the gangway in excitement. He just about ran into the captain’s legs at the entrance to the plane. As he looked up at the uniformed woman, Hollis asked, “Do planes have horns?”
