The Holidays Are Coming…
Blogging will be light. Many online creatures will be stirring, even late into the night.
I have two paid weeks off from my day job, which is one of the benefits of working for a University. But true time off is still not in sight. With two kids, an existential crisis, and Babble Soft, I’ll be working some days and nights.
So until I am able to blog again, I’d like to leave you with links to two thought provoking articles on leadership and management:
- A Harvey Mackey, founder of Mackey Envelope, column called Praise gives a psychological raise about the power of encouraging and acknowledging others in the work place especially during these tough economic times.
- Leadership As Creativity: Finding the Opportunity Hidden Within Decision Making and Dialogue by John McCann, Professor of Linguistics and Antiquities at the Trinity College in Dublin. It’s about the Creative Leader and starts with this quote “I must follow the people, am I not their leader?” — Benjamin Disraeli.
They are both great reads on management and leadership and you will not be disappointed if you click the links above.
So Happy Holidays everyone! I’ll try to get a few more posts out before the New Year. I wish you all peace, comfort and the possibility of living a fully expressed life no matter what joy, pain, happiness, sadness, or life changes that might bring…

Both great articles. Thank you for sharing Aruni. You would probably enjoy the work of Earl Nightingale. I’ve listened to his “Lead the Field” tape series many times.
Merry Christmas!
