I "learned" how to use text replacement on my BlackBerry, MacMail, gMail, Outlook and laptop computer, and wow, have I saved time.

You're Not the Boss of Me

While this post is a “repeat performance&# , I think reflecting on some of the changes we must make when we first undertake a leadership role never goes amiss… and is worth repeating from time to time. What do you think? When I first became a manager, I tried to be friends with everyone. Often that meant that I regularly went out to lunch with one or two of them.
