[Sorry for the light posting. Adjusting to Job1.3 has been going well, but taking a lot more energy than expected. Normal posting to resume soon.]
On this St. Patrick's Day, some posts about passion, innovation and risk. Because St. Patrick certainly embodied passion [for the Irish], innovation and hmm just a tad of risk... [The real story of St. Patrick]
::: "Managers obsessed with logic and left-brained thinking are dismissive of feelings—they say that emotions don't belong in the workplace. They do not believe engagement has anything to do with organizational performance or that people can be passionate about their work. Managers need to understand that emotional intelligence and right-brain thinking are critical skills to become successful leaders in the new global economy." more about engagement from LeadershipNow
::: "In 1998, Barry Stiefel took off from work on Friday at 5pm and was back at his desk a little more than a week later on Monday at 8am, having visited every US state in the interim" link via Kottke
::: Explorer Bill Stone: "The traditional approach to space exploration has been to carry all the fuel you need, and to carry everybody back in case of emergency. But to prime the pump that will take us beyond, boldness is required: the first expeditionary team must travel to the Moon without the fuel to come back, and produce it there. It can be done in 7 years, and I intend to lead that expedition. There was a time when people did bold things to open new frontiers. We have collectively forgotten that. Now we are at a time when boldness is required again." via the TEDBlog. See also, a Wired article from 2004 on Bill Stone.
