I am Confident in Being Me… …Even when I look like you. 
There is another photo which goes with this one, and the photographer called it “That’s love :)”

A May Combo from Bob Nelson’s 365 Ways to Manage Better

  • May 3: Technology doesn’t have to devalue the human element at work. Use technology in ways that build rapport and human spirit, such as leaving praise for employees on voice mail or e-mail
  • Tidbit: First printed? 1997. Back then email was the killer app (and still hyphenated :) What can you do today with the advances of technology we now have?
  • May 4: “It is more important for the manager to get his information quickly and efficiently than to get it formally.”—Henry Mintzberg, McGill University, School of Management
  • Tidbit: Henry Mintzberg interviewed after he had just published Managers Not MBAs: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development (Berrett-Koehler) in 2004:
  • “Management isn’t a science; it isn’t about finding truth. Management isn’t even an applied science, because that's still a science. Management is the application of science, among many other things. Managers use whatever they can in a practical way to get things done or to encourage other people to get things done.”

“An “effective” speaker in what way? In ones ability to make a lot of money as a speaker? That’s simple: become a celebrity. :) On the other hand, if you’re asking me how to effectively convey ones ideas to an audience through the spoken word, it’s pretty much the same as it has always been: ethos, pathos and logos. Establish your moral character and credibility, appeal to people’s emotions by connecting to their beliefs and values, and back up your appeal with facts and data. The main difference today is that you have to be much more entertaining and engaging to hold an audience’s attention.” Simplicity: Friend of Simplicity - Tom Asacker
