been writing a speech for three and a half days now. my head and back say: ouchie. note to self why i put myself through this:
i’m a writer and a thinker and an all-around tinker –RER.
i love to write speeches and things because i love to solve intellectual problems. or at least learn about what’s at stake … and zone in on possible solutions … pointing people towards them.
get the dialogue started, get people to notice and take action.
do it through COMMUNICATION, dialogue.
enough of top-down, command control. that just doesn’t work anymore. you cannot control people because you can’t control the flow of information. you cannot see what you are not looking for.
it’s a new world, where leaders need to engage with those they lead. they must be able to listen well and influence people horizontally. they must get others to cooperate and collaborate and participate … across disciplines, across borders, across all divisions — social, economic, biological.
how to do all that? who knows. but a sense of humor is a good start.

top ‘o the mornin’ to you. i am in a less grouchy mood for st. pat’s this year for whatever reason. am excited for my big date tonight … ashleigh, a dear ND pal, is coming over for dinner and to watch the premiere of ABC’s The Bachelor: London Calling. this should be good — the bloke looks like a wanker (we’ll serve his ass like john mc enroe). give me a girl’s night in on st. pat’s over the drunk and rowdy bridge and tunnel crowd all day long. for a taste of what we’re missing by abstaining from the parade festivities, i give you “jump around” by house of pain.

In the Game of Business, Playing Fair Can Actually Lead to Greater Profits Knowledge@Wharton.com
Tune into “The Apprentice,” and you get an all-too-common view of business. Every week, the contestants try to impress Donald Trump by preening, cajoling and conniving. In this world, toughness is the measure of every CEO, and the boss glories in firing people and squeezing every penny out of suppliers. Yet according to John Zhang and Jagmohan Raju, both Wharton marketing professors, and Tony Haitao Cui from the University of Minnesota, many people aren’t purely mercenary in their business dealings. They care about fairness — and they should, the researchers say, because doing so can maximize their profits. Call it a new glove for the Invisible Hand: The manufacturer sets his price, and the retailer’s sense of fairness takes care of the rest.
