Beatitudes needs your votes

I mentioned this previously, but it’s worth repeating: I’ve got a new ChangeThis manifesto proposal ready for your vote.  It’s kinda languishing over there a little bit…a bump in votes would be real nice.
The proposal is on the ‘beatitudes of customer service.’  I’ve already written about it over at Business Thoughts, and re-posted it here.  […]

Managing with aloha manifesto

Hey, you’re probably familiar with ChangeThis.com and how it works.  And if you’ve lingered around Slacker Manager for very long, you know how much I admire Rosa over at Talking Story.  So I’m pretty stoked to see that Rosa’s got a manifesto proposal going on over at ChangeThis.  Head over there and cast your vote!

Bookmaking with wikis

Like a lot of folks, I’ve always kinda wanted to write a book.  I don’t really have any training as a writer, though I dabbled in journalism in high school and college.  Graduate school, of course, required a ton of writing and that’s really where I started to enjoy it.
I’m noticing that a lot of […]

This week’s COTC

Lisa, over at Management Craft, has this week’s Carnival of the Capitalists.  This is a really thoughtful post–she’s grouped all the submissions around a central theme of how we use our brains and hearts as tools of progress and meaning.  She’s defined five questions that make up the theme and she’s listed each submission according […]

Airport hopping day

This post is purely for the novelty of doing a wireless post from McCarran airport in Vegas.  I’m on my way home today (finally…heavy sigh).  The conference went as well as can be expected.  The Department of Education really does do a nice job of organizing conferences.  This one had 2,700+ attendees from all over […]

Ebay your blogging skills?

UPDATE to UPDATE: I promise I’ll stop after this one!  Looks like Jeremy posted a nice post that lays out the business case for hiring a blogger.  I may have more to say about this after I think on it for a bit…
UPDATE: It just occurred to me (yeah, I’m slow) that this is pretty […]

Giving it away

Seth Godin has a nice post today that reviews various distribution models of his ‘Bootstrappers Bible‘ book (now e-book).  His final conclusion is that you can make money by giving away what you know.  This is so counter-intuitive, but true–at least some of the time.  I think there are caveats that have to be acknowledged, […]

Corporate climate surveys

This is right outta the "digging up my past" department.  I ran across this link to a whitepaper I wrote (.doc) for the Society for Human Resource Management on "Developing and Delivering Climate Surveys and Employee Satisfaction Surveys via Corporate Intranet."  Gah.  Dry.
I also found an archived copy of a seminar presentation I did on […]
