Definition of Leadership
Newton Holt writes a great article about Howard Gardner’s “Five Minds” research (Five Minds for the Future) in Associations Now. It reminded me a bit of the Ancona et al. article in Harvard Business Review that talked about the four basic leadership abilities in that...
Five Things
There is a portion of my digital life that was lost with my hard drive crash in late January. It was a small portion, but each day I discover things that have fallen through the cracks or been looked over as I dealt with that. One of those things is related to...
So Much for Mobile Blogging!
In case you were wondering, no, Peter Senge does not now speak in a strange collection of undecipherable symbols. That was me trying to post from my mobile phone while I was at a conference hearing Senge speak. Something obviously went screwy with Typepad's mobile...

Solving the Wrong Problem
Okay, this post is a bit outside the normal domain of this blog. It’s technically about “supply chain management,” which, as you might imagine, is not really the focus of my work or attention. But a brief article in HBR on the topic has been really bugging me. In the...
Helooooo? Anybody Out There?
There is an interesting conversation going on across the “blogoclump” (the collection of bloggers who blog about associations) about why association executives don’t read us! Jeff started the recent conversation with this post, and actually got seven comments (which...
George Orwell and Business Jargon
