"Women/Leaders (Right for the times)" Keep on saying it, because "they" are not getting it after all of these years (30 years in my case).

I love the shorthand. I might adopt that.

Also, it makes me wonder what it would be like to attend a brainstorming session with you Tom. Stream of consciousness information overload? (I mean that as a compliment)

I imagine it's electric.

I like this approach - thank you for the tip.

My causes

*Front line staff know all the answers all the time
*Give all the money - yes all the money - to front line staff
*If managers have a job at all in 2006 it is to make the job of front line staff easier
*There is no such thing as an overnight success
*Always do your homework
*Meetings are work
*The basics are the new cutting edge

Enemies thereto

*Creating science and rationality about simple stuff
*Professional speak - guaranteed protection
*Beating passion out of staff by complexity
*'Thats just the way it is around here'
*'We tried that before and it didn't work'
*'We mustn't put ourselves in a position where we might be criticised'
*'I'm sorry I will have to ask my boss'

Why Focus Groups?

PS: the rest are great...and if we're planning on a march- I enlist.
