EMAIL: An email inbox has been aptly described as the to-do list that anyone in the world can add an item to. If you&#8217;re not careful, it can gobble up most of your working week. Then you&#8217;ve become a reactive robot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been reading a very interesting book written by John Bogle of Vanguard fame called “Enough”.  It’s a wonderful read and highlights some very fundamental values he espouses and has lived throughout his life.  You can get a feel for the book simply by looking at chapter titles.  Here are chapters 1-3: Too Much Cost, [...]]]></description>

Most employers and managers tend to erroneously equate Activity with Value. &#8220;If we keep people busy, we will get more done&#8221; is a common refrain and seemingly fundamental belief.  Leaders tend to put more energy into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the keys to successfully leading teams of people is to run effective meetings.  On the surface, this seems pretty straight-forward.  Ensuring you have an agenda, take good meeting notes, and sending action items out afterword aren&#8217;t rocket science.   Relatively trivial, even though consistency is key and rarely is delivered.  However, when you are dealing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When people encounter issues in their day to day business, there seems to be a human need to find a villain. This is borne out of the mindset (or mental model) that says we are all independent entities, operating on our own. Decisions are linear, so we need to decompose our world into component parts [...]]]></description>

As I look back at my &#8220;blundering youth&#8221;, it&#8217;s clear that my propensity to debate, correct and contradict has me mortified.  (Pretty specific, right?)  I’m sure I know why I [...]]]></description>
