Teamwork and Leadership
| |
| Individually we can make a difference, together we can change the world.
Sadly many of us find true collaboration and team work difficult. The need for personal recognition of ‘our’ idea or ‘our’ work gets in the way. |

Translating this concept into practical, poverty reduction policies has proved to be difficult in most countries (see Gore and Figueiredo, 1997).

Entering 2008 Thriving not Just Enduring
| |
| Dear Jane,
What do you mean by “endurance” and what’s wrong with it? I always thought enduring was a good thing.
As we approach a new year, determined to make and keep our New Year’s resolutions (this time), I want to encourage you to resolve to thrive, not just endure. When I’m interviewed on radio or TV, I am always asked what the distinction is. I use an analogy taught to me by one of my mentors, Brandon St. John, some 25 years ago. When I saw it used in Al Gore’s, “An Inconvenient Truth,” I was both surprised and pleased. |

Al Gores’ Approach to Work-Life Balance
| |
| In Al Gore’s documentary on global warming (An Inconvenient Truth), he makes reference to a picture used by the Bush administration to illustrate the conflict between money and environment. In the picture, there is a scale: on one side of the scale, there is a pile of gold bars, on the other the earth. As Al Gore somewhat wryly pointed out…gold is not much use to you if you have no earth.
I must say the same thought strikes me when I read about “work-life balance.” |

Pope John Paul II was noted for his "stand up for life" call to action.
The charities that you support have calls to action that either inspire you or embarass you into giving.

The Lattice Organization - Unleashing Individual Freedom and Creativity
| |
| Most or our organizations are built on the hierarchy principle which seems on the surface to be an efficient and effective way to set things up. Why, then, do we end up frequently going around the formal organizational structures and processes to get things done?
Bill Gore, founder of the very successful Gortex Technologies organization recognized that the traditional hierarchical / authoritarian structure of organizations may not be the way to go, so he came up with the concept of “The Lattice Organization.”

Insider #149 - Game Demographics
| |
| The blood, gore, adrenalin challenges that were unveiled at E3 and enjoyed at ComicCon are fun to look at, easy to hold but are they really the games people want to plunk down their credit cards to own or rent time with? Seems as though the investors, the players who control the controllers have a different idea of a "good" game than the kids who develop them. While mobs of people play educational, informational, stimulating games our kid huddles in his room and mumbles "The Few, The Proud, The Gamers." If we align the games with the real volume players, consumers we might stimulate more hardware, more bandwidth, more mobile, yes more software sales come the holidays.
