The Resilient Leader: May 2013
http://blog.bettydoo.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
May 24, 2013. It is probably fitting that I will be attending a Memorial service this Memorial Day weekend. The service is for my mother-in-law, Mary Wolfe, who died on her birthday at the age of 95. Mary was one of those special ladies. She was not CEO of a company, a war hero or a major political figure. She was instead an elegant woman of integrity, grace and personal leadership. Thank you, Mary, for your personal leadership. You are loved and dearly missed. Links to this post. Follow me on Twitter.

The Resilient Leader: Reconstructions
http://blog.bettydoo.com/2015/01/reconstructions.html
January 14, 2015. We are currently undergoing major renovations in our home. One thing I have learned: retro-fitting older houses can be more complicated, and costly, than building new construction. Happy New Year and welcome to 2015! It may be a good year for some retro-fitting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter. New England, United States.

The Resilient Leader: April 2013
http://blog.bettydoo.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
April 26, 2013. Consultant, do no harm! However, there is the law of unintended consequences. And there are sometimes conflicts of interest. So how do we ensure that we are always helpful.or, at minimum, do no harm? I suggest we be careful; very, very careful. A good example of potential harm that is sometimes overlooked is with the introduction of 360s as a management tool. I have discussed 360s in an earlier blog posting. So what is the potential harm?

The Resilient Leader: July 2013
http://blog.bettydoo.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
July 30, 2013. I trust my employees.really? Of course, most people work in companies in which working at home, sitting on the back deck, is not an option. Though I submit that it could be much more of an option, if companies trusted their employees more. But does it have to be an either/or situation- -office vs. home? Might there be other options? How about 3 days in the office and 2 days at home? How about telecommuting for certain jobs that really don't require significant face time? Links to this post.

The Resilient Leader: October 2013
http://blog.bettydoo.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
October 16, 2013. Be careful of "Rock Star" leaders. I don't presume to know all the ins and outs on Evan Dobelle, given my reliance upon media stories which don't always get it right. But a couple of comments in this story really caught my eye. The consultant who recruited Dobelle to Westfield said Dobelle was so impressive he was 'almost out of our league,' recalled a member of the hiring committee". Some considered him a 'rock star' of higher education". University Presidents are now Rock Stars? I am ...
