Naive Realism
Here’s some more detail from that California Management Review article about “hot” and “cool” conflict. As I said before, I love it when researchers are able to document the things I have been dealing with in my work. I was particularly glad to see that they have a...
Success, Failure, Control, and Open Systems
I went to the Web 2.0 “mega” session at the Technology conference this week (Jeff was a panelist). It was very interesting to see how many of the association executives in the audience reacted to what the panelists were saying about blogs, wikis, and social...
Intuition, the Unconscious Mind, and Trust
This month’s HBR has the annual list of breakthrough ideas. It is always a great read. One of the ideas (number 9, to be exact) is about decision making, and it talks about intuition and unconscious thinking. The author did experiments to determine whether or not more...
Technology v. Snow: Snow Wins
I am going to miss the second day of the ASAE & The Center Technology Conference today because of the icy road conditions (for the record, I tried to take the bus to the Metro, but my bus was actually stuck in the snow and ice at my stop—not an encouraging sign)....

Book Featured in Association Meetings
We Have Always Done It That Way, the book I wrote with Jeff, David, Mickie, and Amy, was featured as the cover story in Association Meetings magazine this month. Many thanks to fellow blogger Sue Pelletier for writing the article and taking the time to interview each...
Relationships at Work
Associations Now this month has a little piece up front about the “bad boss” (although they announce that next month they will do one on “evil employee”). It’s drawn from Buckingham and Coffman’s First Break All the Rules book. This is my favorite quote:But if your...
Web 2.0 Primer
Okay, I’m going to jump on the bandwagon and point to a very entertaining video that is being billed as a primer for “web 2.0” (Interesting that there is a primer for a topic that others have already declared a passé buzz word!). Jeff was the first to point it out to...
Hot and Cool Conflict
If you haven’t figured this out by now (either through knowing me or just by reading my blog), I would describe myself as “intuitive.” I have nothing against “hard” data, and I’ve been known to do some data analysis from time to time (my nickname in my bicycling...
