At first brush, you would be excused into wondering if the title of this blog post referred to a basketball match between two lesser well known colleges. Or you might even think it was a court case that occurred in the 1990s? However, I am referring to the result of the first round match at [...]

PowerPoint meets ImpotentPoint
Over the last few days, I have read a number of reports of the horrors of PowerPoint. It seemed to start with the New York Times article about the illusionary trap of Powerpoint presentations used by US Army ‘intelligence’ which stimulated a post by Jonathan Salem Baskin and another by Seth Godin “PowerPoint makes us [...]
Women’s Day 2010 – The French Equilibrium
In Paris, yesterday, I attended a conference hosted by the MEDEF (the union of employers in France), where the ORSE (Observatory of Societal Responsibility in Enterprises) was promoting among other things the arrival of a new book, « Patrons Papas: paroles de dirigeants sur l’équilibre travail et vie privée » (Editions du Cherche Midi) or “Papa Bosses: [...]
The Deal with Transparency: The Parent Generation Meets the Trans-parent Generation (Part I in a series of 4 posts)
Transparency is one of the important buzzwords that has surged into new management and leadership vocabulary and, surely, rightly so. It has, in fact, become such a buzzword that the University of Michigan has put it tops of its 2010 list of 15 words that should be banished. This post is the first of a [...]
The Timing of Recessions
Macro and Micro Consequences of When A Recession Begins In a recession, timing plays an absolutely vital part at the macro level.

Looking out for the Signs in Your Life
Sometimes there are wonderful messages that pop up in your life. I am not thinking of the messages on email or Facebook, etc. I am thinking of the random ones that you have to look out for. There I was, taking a chairlift at the Combloux ski resort and thinking peaceful thoughts, including my upcoming [...]
Typing Skills & Games – Credit to Lester Thurow
Typing not Stereotyping – A True Way to Advance… I have often wondered how my life might have been different had I not learned to type quickly and accurately. I will never forget a lecture I attended by Lester Thurow, former professor of Economics and Dean at MIT, back while I was at Yale (around [...]
Losing Weight on Planes
Boy, you’re going to carry that weight… With the rising cost of fuel on the tips of all our tongues, the chase to reduce fuel costs is in full tilt. I am fascinated (if not confounded) by the work done by the airlines in this regard. It seems that every day there are new actions [...]
Winning The Boat Race – Lessons in Leadership & Teamwork
Leadership means getting the team to row in the same direction! In Time Magazine’s December 3, 2007 issue, I read with great passion the article “Ready All, Row” by Thomas K. Grose (so much so that I cut out the article and am still keen to blog about it many months later). In this article, [...]
