Politics of Creativity: Pace + Perseverance = Performance (not!)
http://politicsofcreativity.blogspot.com/2011/02/pace-perseverance-performance-not.html
Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Pace Perseverance = Performance (not! The inadequacy of this equation is self evident when written on the page. But in the workplace today the speed with which one is moving combined with the effort to keep in motion, regardless of what purpose or passion may be fueling the effort, equates to performance. What's wrong with this picture? Some new performance equations are urgently needed! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The POLITICS of CREATIVITY. The Politics of Creativity.

Politics of Creativity: Leading Without Solutions
http://politicsofcreativity.blogspot.com/2011/03/leading-without-solutions.html
Thursday, March 10, 2011. Tough times surface tough dilemmas. Furthermore, complex systemic issues seldom have a simple solution. Recently I have encountered more than one extremely competent leader who has been reluctant to initiate discussion on an organizational issue because they do not yet have a “recommendation”. The operating assumption is that I do not go into a meeting to address a difficult problem unless I have a solution. Readiness to lead by engaging in powerful inquiry and skillful dialogue...

Monday, November 30, 2009. The Necessity of Accepting "Stuckness". Yesterday I had a very frustrating day – not one which is totally foreign to my experience but with a slightly new and different twist. After enjoying three days of a long holiday weekend, I had set aside most of the day to create/compose/write my presentation for the American Astronautical Society which I am delivering in a couple days at their Imagine 2009 Conference. The day was virtually “wasted”. All of the above comments make sense ...

Monday, January 31, 2011. I recently asked a group of senior technical people, scientists and engineers, the question: "What is the most powerful conversation you have participated in at work in the last three months?
