When you build a successful company, department, NGO, or team, you build upon successes. What can Darwin teach you about organizational life? It’s tricky to reproduce success, however, because many decisions were both context- and time-bound. Had you made those same decisions with different people, in different circumstances, or at another time period in the growth of your organization, you may not have had the same degree of success. You might have failed miserably.

An outstanding book about a marine who started an NGO in one of the worst slums in Africa. Often I find my mind racing. My new See Do Time Management System where I just do something when I see it works well on tidying and cleaning but is actually less efficient in many cases. EG - If I see that the dashboard needs dusting so whip inside to grab a damp rag and wipe it. This is less efficient that getting a bucket and detergent and doing the whole inside.

Entrepreneurship Needs to Be a Bigger Part of U.S. Foreign Aid
Harvard Business
AUGUST 15, 2016
Further, how can we engender the rock star aura of American entrepreneurship in places where NGO and government jobs are safer career bets for would-be, could-be, should-be startup founders? Here are two surprising facts. First, the average American estimates that over 25% of the U.S. federal budget goes to foreign aid. That is wildly off. It is actually only 1% of the federal budget, or $35 billion for all nonmilitary assistance.

In fact, a 21st century success in Rio remains possible.

You probably know the feeling all too well: You arrive at the office with a clear plan for the day and then, in what feels like just a moment, you find yourself on your way back home. Nine or 10 hours have passed but you’ve accomplished only a few of your priorities. And, most likely, you can’t even remember exactly what you did all day. If this sounds familiar, don’t worry.

When Patria, a program leader in an NGO, was asked by her director to help a colleague whose team was having trouble managing its workload, she agreed.

The Laws of Money and Meaning
Harvard Business Review
NOVEMBER 13, 2012
You can run the largest NGO on the planet, and if you're being chicken-s**t, then you've squandered the powerful position you've been given. It has always been an either/or proposition: Either you go into charity and give up money, or you go into business and give up meaning. It's mutually exclusive, or so the story goes. Even cutting-edge thinking operates from a binary context: It ties itself in knots trying to figure out how you can have both.
Is Your Economy Built on the World's Best Knowledge?
Harvard Business Review
NOVEMBER 21, 2011
Now and then, over the years, a government agency or NGO issues a report that is startlingly insightful and useful. However, because of several odd factors (for example: they can't be commercially advertised) these reports often don't come to the attention of many who might actually have some use for their information. If you doubt this, take a look at the recent publications list of the World Bank , the U.S. Department of Commerce , or the United Nations.

The day before the stark story in the Times appeared, I attended a related conference, the Investor Summit on Climate Risk, held at the UN and run by the NGO Ceres. Tackling climate change — and thus keeping the world inhabitable — is an achievable goal, but it will become prohibitively expensive if we wait to act. This is the key message from a leaked United Nations study that The New York Times reported on last week.
