The premise of his piece is that the landscape of the Blogosphere is changing radically, and that as such many “A-Listers” have either quit, or are contemplating giving-up their blogging endeavors.

My suspicion is your best memories are of those teachers who inspired you, encouraged you, brought out your passion, and challenged you in a positive fashion.

By actually seeking out areas of potential conflict and proactively intervening in a well reasoned and decisive fashion you will likely prevent certain conflicts from ever arising. If a conflict does flair up, you will likely minimize its severity by dealing with it quickly. I wholeheartedly agree with what you have stated.

Yet, some of us still manage to muck it up. The bottom line : If you don’t represent yourself honestly where ever you are, the example you set will not ring true for those you want to influence the most. The Bottom Line: If you have ever had the idea that you can say one thing and do another and not be found out, think again.

Hand your marketing team the keys to these social network vehicles, give them a few bucks to spruce up your website with some nice share links, and your job is done.

The traditional asset-heavy corporations that used to be at the top of everybody’s most-admired lists are starting to look old-fashioned, slow-moving, and inflexible — particularly to investors.

This prejudice shows up not just in workplace stigmas, but also in policies. I took legal action against my employer for granting 10 paid weeks off to any new parent through birth, adoption, or surrogacy — except a man who had become a father the old-fashioned way.

Building a large-scale biopharmaceutical facility requires up to $500 million. The latest nuclear reactor designs, promising higher safety, longer operating life, and lower operating costs, cost up to $25 billion after factoring in the huge budget overruns.

My advice to you is not to let your business get caught up in embracing random ideas – at least not without some initial analysis being conducted to determine the likelihood of success.
