Freedom to Think and Dream Big

Are you building your community?
Here is an interesting article about some former Google employees leaving to build social networking sites. This was found on the Mashable and it offers an insight into the importance of building your brand or products community. This continues to be the secret success for online companies as well as traditional companies. As Seth Godin describes in his book Tribes, once you have a loy...
Memes
Something that I have come to realize is that there is a whole slew of memes that are interconnected in the area of money and success. But these memes are about keeping us from achieving money and success, instead of helping us obtain it. They are very widespread today, and a huge majority of the population is tainted with them. These memes are gladly accepted and replicated because they allow peo...
Thinking Big
I had recently chatted with a Recruitment Director for one of the nation's largest Information Technology firms. Four months each year she visits college campuses to recruit graduating seniors for her company's junior executive training program. The tenor of her remarks indicated she was discouraged about the attitudes of many people she talked with.
"Most days I interview betwe...
Bill Gates – Can he solve the world hunger problem?
Among his many generous efforts to spread good, it looks like one of the richest men is setting his goals on solving world hunger. Recently, Bill Gates called for the second “Green Revolution,” focusing on farmer training and infrastructure in Africa, in addition to new crop varieties and higher yields.
“Three-quarters of the world’s poorest people get their food and income by farming s...
Sleep Debt
So here is a repost of an entry I made back on January of 2005 after assessing my 2004-2005 New Year's Resolution. I'm glad I stumbled across this (and no...this is not a StumbleUpon plug) because I had completely forgot about it until now. Currently, my life is quite the same, yet very different at the same time. I don't drink coffee any more. You will no longer find me smoking a cigaret...
Always Dream Big Enough
There may come a time in your life where you have to make some hard decisions. When you do, half of the people will think you’re crazy and the other half will think you’re right. You’ll need to make those decisions for yourself and your family when your time comes. I do believe the future is bright and my one hope is that I want anybody that reads to know that inside of you are the see...

Freedom to Think and Dream Big
- Four Basic Skills of Leadership March 3, 2010The skills of leadership need to address each of the key elements which make up the ‘problem space’ of leadership: (a) oneself, (b) one’s relationship with one’s collaborators, (c) the system in which one is acting and (d) the goals to be achieved by oneself and one’s collaborators in that system. This entry will cover [...]Four Basic Skills of Leadership is […]Geoff
- Group vs. Team March 3, 2010Groups of people have been around since the as long as I’ve been around… and then some; human nature draws people to one another. Group behavior ranges from encouraging to chaotic, from adversity to success. Many managers are fine with group performance. For me, though, it is increasingly obvious that groups that experience the highest [...]Group vs. Team is […]Geoff
- Emotional Intelligence in Technology February 20, 2010The other day I had a sudden realization about the importance of emotion and logic. When I was managing a small computer support service provider, I would work closely with specialized technicians, programmers, integrators, accounting personnel, legal professionals, medical directors, and the obvious internal staffing of my company. Over the handful of year […]Geoff
- Leadership Alignment February 16, 2010Today, it seems that many processes that are related to organizational development, management, and leadership are undergoing an insightful change for a number of great reasons. History shows us that in the past several decades, companies have continued to become more and more complex. This complexity is a function of changes in both the internal [...]Leader […]Geoff
- Destroy bureaucracy! February 11, 2010I’ve always hated bureaucracy. To me, bureaucracy is the enemy. Bureaucracy means waste, slow decision making, unnecessary approvals, and all the other things that kill an organization’s competitive spirit. I’ve spent many years battling bureaucracy, trying to rid any company I’ve worked with of anything that would make it less competitive. I feel that rid […]Geoff
Good afternoon, You write some very good blogs. I always check back here often to see if you have updated.
I’ve been stopping by here for the some time now and finally have the urge to comment. First of all, I wish to thank you for the wonderful posts. Second, thank you for writing top quality posts and not just rehashed posts discovered elsewhere. Absolutely a cool web page I’d advise….well, I’ve been bookmarking this web page, that need to be enough proof of me recommending this!
Hello – I must say, I’m impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and information was very easy to access. I found what I wanted in no time at all. Pretty awesome.
