The Rhythms of My Life
I was in a board meeting yesterday with a company planning a major commercial release of their product “at the end of summer”. We managed to turn this into 8/31/09 at 11:59:59pm pacific time (since I don’t believe you can release something unless there is a time/date stamp associated with it.) As part of this discussion, we spent some time discussing the notion of a daily / weekly / monthly rhythm for both the CEO/CTO as well as the product team.

Tips On How To Deal With Stress
We have all encountered different types of frustrating situations: a boss who stifles our creativity or who gives us work to do and never thinks to ask us about it;a colleague who has absolutely no interest in details and who consequently puts an entire project at risk; an employee whose rigid approach to doing things by the book is actually harming relationships with our clients.

Many organizations have found such a tool and found many uses for it. For a number of years, this tool was viewed as a fad but it has survived that first impression and become a tool for organizational improvement. This tool is multi-rater feedback or 360 degree feedback.

Hints on managing an ageing multicultural workorce
Research has confirmed the commonly held belief that as people age their ability (and often their desire) to change is diminished and that their thoughts, habits, patterns of behaviour, ideas and perceptions become rigid and limited and that it becomes more difficult for them to change in response to events (‘plasticity’ of the brain is reduced).
Flexibility is Not An Option
You are in control. Take control. You can be as flexible or as rigid as you choose to be. Life is too short to lock yourself in. The opportunity cost in business is too high to postpone opportunities, or wait for the tide to turn back to you.

Don’t Keep Your Customers From Buying!
Customers buy more if given the chance – and buy more frequently too. Dynamic business growth can’t flow from a rigid linear strategy. You have to think logarithmically. Don’t keep your customers from buying.
The Force of Oppression
The force of oppression may be something we must accept in our lives but often we allow it to be stronger than it actually is. There may be rules and regulations to contend with but those limits may be less rigid than we perceive.

Almost all companies who say such things treat their employees badly, keeping them constrained and confined in rigid roles, supported by limiting job descriptions and masses of bureaucracy.
