A word about
good management November 15,
2012
Prompt. Good managers make prompt fact-based
decisions once they have the facts. They
respect the needs of the people who are affected by their decisions. Perhaps as never before, today’s managers
must deal with uncertainty. This does
not interfere with prompt decision making by good managers.
Discover. Decide.
Don’t embarrass the people and the organization you are charged with
leading.
Time for some
TLC November 15, 2012
Americans’ emotions have been
stirred viciously. The political Right
has been manipulated into a frenzy. The
government is giving away stuff to lazy and irresponsible, nay, un-American
takers who will ruin our country. The
Left has been agitated into believing that the only un-American takers are the
idle rich, and corporations. They are
going to starve our children and we’ll all die too poor to get adequate medical
care.
Farmers, who work hard, take risks,
and face complex demands, may wonder why anyone needs welfare or the EPA. They wonder if city people even know where
food comes from. Their counterparts, who
work hard, take risks, and face complex demands, may wonder why anyone needs
farm subsidies or the FFA. They wonder
if farmers even know where tractors come from.
Truth is, our national attitude has
been wounded. We need to fix that. Clearly, war no longer works to bring us all
together. So let’s not wait for a
war. Let’s come together as a country
and a people with warlike intensity and courage. Let’s ask ourselves to reason through our
differences. Let’s tell our political
party manipulators to get back in the game.
Let’s recognize and call out misdirection and emotional manipulation
when it happens. Let’s take care of each
other—treat each other with dignity, respect, and consideration—even in
traffic.
Around here, we think a little tender
loving care can do amazing things.
