4 hours ago ago from aspiration+perspiration
Today I am writing my blog about change involving critical issues as discussed in chapter 12 of the book “Exploring Leadership” by Susan Komives, Nance Lucas, and Timothy McMahon.

A. Siegel: The Power of No Regrets
14 hours ago ago from Huffington Post
One of the most promising, yet also most frustrating, aspects of dealing with Climate Change is how the noise (the static) of the debate makes it difficult for the majority of people to understand the power of the "No Regrets" strategy opportunity and promise.
