Getting Value From Experimental Technology
David Cohen (who I have done a few angel deals with – including ClickCaster and Solidware) recently spent a couple of weeks building a cool new tool called earFeeder. earFeeder scans your music collection and automatically creates a single RSS newsfeed containing news about your favorite artists including new releases on iTunes, concert dates and ticket availability, Rolling Stone articles, etc.

The Sweet Taste of Success: Ben & Jerry’s Takes Off
In the early 1970s, both Greenfield and Cohen were at major crossroads in their lives; neither was satisfied with nor particularly inspired by their careers thus far. In 1974, Greenfield moved to North Carolina with his fiancée to take what he now calls his ‘first retirement’ – a much needed three month break that allowed time for reflection. That same year, Cohen moved to the Adirondack Mountain region of New York, where he worked as a craft teacher at a local school for emotionally disturbed youth. For three years, he worked on this 600 acre property, building his own house, teaching pottery and other art techniques, as well as making ice cream with the students.

Lesson #3: Creative Marketing Will Generate Sales Success
Ben & Jerry’s is not your typical company. From its bright and multi-colour painted stores to its interactive animated website, Ben & Jerry’s has consistently shown creativity and imagination in its marketing strategies. Owners Greenfield and Cohen decided early on that ice cream was a fun product, and thus so too should be their means of promotion.

Lesson #5: Don’t Be Afraid to Go After the Big Guys
Cohen and Greenfield were just a couple of hippies trying to avoid becoming simply “another cog in the economic machine.” Living through the 1960s, the two disliked big business for all of its negative social and environmental effects. With Ben & Jerry’s, the pair was trying to reconcile this by doing things their way, and placing heavy importance on acting responsibly.

EVERYTHING THATS BEAUTIFUL IS CRACKED THATS HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN
Leonard Cohen is credited with the above statement. I believe that he has captured the essence of beauty. Beauty is in the nature of our flaws. It is in our reflective self-awareness and acceptance of our imperfections that we discover our true beauty.
The Deafening Roar Of A Jet Plane
Over here in the UK we are experiencing some wonderful weather (if we get a good spell of 3 or 4 days we are doing awesome!) so like any sensible nation we take immediate advantage of this and get out the old BBQ and invite a few friends round . We have some friends who live several miles away and they invited us round on Saturday night so off we went looking forward to the usual feast Lorraine cooks (she is an exceptional cook and John an exceptional host).

Finding the Right Fit: A Leadership Selection Model for the Redesigned Organization
Over the past several years, companies across every industry have sought ways to improve profitability and service while decreasing costs. As labor expenses usually account for the single largest segment of the company's budget, downsizings are one of the first options that senior executives consider when trying to cut costs. By Kenneth R. Cohen, Ph.D.
Straightening Ties
As employers compete to hire information technology (IT) professionals in this sellers' market, many are seeking help to develop and implement strategies for staffing their organizations that are more productive and cost-effective and less aggravating. by Kenneth R. Cohen and Ross Reinhold September 2000 - Healthcare Informatics

What makes Third Generation Leadership “different”?
The Canadian singer-song writer, Leonard Cohen, has a song “Everybody Knows”. In this Cohen is pointing out everybody knows what is going on – especially when things aren’t working – but no-one is prepared to do anything about it. We continue doing the same things – possibly with some “tweaking” but basically still the same – and wonder why there is no real improvement. The issues of leadership and employee engagement are no different.
