06-04-14 Say it Again and Again
Your strategy to accomplish great results personally, at home and at work has the best chance of success if you invest in it, live it out, and communicate it widely. How often do you hear of plans that are promised but never even attempted? Those are strategies with no life; they are not authentic.

Mintzberg On Why You Need To View A Company As 'A Community Of Human Beings'
鈥淚鈥檓 a human being, not a human resource鈥�. Is something I have heard my colleague Henry Mintzberg say a number of times. It really seems to resonate with people.
