Two Yahoos on a Roll: The Early Years of Jerry Yang and David Filo
They started off as two graduate students at Stanford University. Today, they have a combined personal net worth of $5.1 billion. That is all thanks to Jerry Yang’s and David Filo’s attempts to find anything they could do to avoid working on their doctoral theses. Bored one day, the two decided to play around with the newly emerging Internet and create a list of their favourite sites. That list has since grown into Yahoo!, one of the world’s most popular online search portals, with more than 130 million visitors each month and revenues in excess of $6.7 billion.

BOOK REVIEW: Why Pride Matters More Than Money: The Power of the World’s Greatest Motivational Force (By Jon R. Katzenbach, Crown Business, 2003, ISBN #0-609--61065-1)

9 Ideas to Reduce Cliques at Work
My thesis is that cliques at work have some helpful components, but they often do more harm than good by being exclusive elements in the culture. Top performance in any organization requires the best effort of the entire team, and when parts of the group are fragmented into insular cells, all kinds or gremlins creep into the structure. In the extreme, cliques can be hurtful to the mission of an orgnaization. But cliques are as natural as pancakes for breakfast. They form spontaneously and have their own unwritten bylaws that serve the members very well. How can leaders reduce the negative impact of cliques? Here are 9 ideas that can help reduce the problem.
Leaders and Managers
My HRD students often get into discussions with me about the differences between leaders and managers. How do you like to describe the difference between these two entities?. Usually in books and articles, I see lists of side-by-side comparisons with things like: "Managers do things right" while "Leaders do the right things." There are a dozen or so comparisons like this on these typical lists. Personally, I like to describe the difference from a mind-set point of view. This article describes my thesis on this topic.

My thesis has always been that it's important to reach a state of business fitness as the foundation for future growth. You want to be able to answer "yes" to the following questions. If you can, your business is in a state of fitness and you are ready for growth.
