The New Leadership Challenge
Submitted by Erik Vermeulen on Fri, 2009-05-22 18:00
Well, I say “new” but it’s not really new at all. It’s just a bigger challenge than ever before. Why? Because the world has fallen out of love, not just with big business, but with leadership as we know too. And we don’t need to look much beyond the current global crisis to see why. The population at large have put way too much trust (and money) into the so-called leaders of industry whose decisions and total lack of accountability have placed us in the precarious position we find ourselves in.

Co-ordination and Mind Management game

While sitting down (or standing if you have good balance), lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it. At the same time, repeatedly draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction and without an awful lot of practice, there's nothing you can do to prevent it.

Idea Friday.
Those of you who follow me on Twitter, or Facebook, might have noticed the IdeaFriday hash tag I created. In case you’re living in a cave in Afghanistan and don’t know about Twitter (or, heaven forbid, Facebook) it looks like this: #ideafriday. Now even you’ve seen it, and you’re wondering what it’s all about. Let me briefly explain.

Hard work and togetherness.
Submitted by Erik Vermeulen on Fri, 2009-05-22 18:08
“Hard work and togetherness. They go hand in hand. You need the hard work because it's such a tough atmosphere... to win week in and week out. You need togetherness because you don't always win, and you gotta hang though together.” Tony Dungy
