Beware of the Bagger

Idea Architects

Robert (name changed to protect the guilty) always double-bags the groceries at the store where I shop. Paper or plastic doesn't make any difference to him, it is always a 2 for 1 bagging extravaganza. I generally bring my own bags, but on the rare days when I forget, I always tell Robert to single-bag my items. The consternation on his face is significant, and I can tell he doesn't like me throwing off his system.

Ideas Worth Spreading. That's the mantra of the TED Conference and until recently you had to shell out thousands of dollars in order to hear those ideas and spread the ones you find valuable. Yesterday, however, a new TED web site went live and it allows anyone to become a part of the TED Community, as well as access online video of more than 100 TED talkes featuring the artists, scientists, politicians, journalists, and other luminaries who wow the 1000 people who attend TED each year.

Is Time On Our Side? Pacing as a Leadership Skill

Idea Architects

In recent days two major news stories confirmed for me that managing pace is one of the most significant leadership challenges in the years ahead. Both the Don Imus story and the dismissal of charges against the Duke lacrosse players are complex events with many layers of meaning. I am only writing about one: timing and pacing. Whether it be due to our 24-hour newscycle or other factors, the rush to judgment seems like a more pervasive and prevalent risk.

The Underbelly of Abundance

Idea Architects

When I was in graduate school, one of my professional role models, Dr. Sara Boatman, wrote a powerful essay entitled "Too Much of a Good Thing is Still Too Much." I always likened the concept to that horrible brain pain you get when you eat too much ice cream too quickly.

Room to Grow

Idea Architects

For 13 years I have lived comfortably in this wonderful home nestled in a historic district just off the hustle and bustle of downtown Indianapolis. Last week I purchased a new home and put the only house I have ever owned on the market.

Logistics trump learning far too often. In the April 2007 issue of Association Meetings , writer Dave Kovaleski tackles this reality head-on in a piece entitled Education Grows Up.
