PTMBA & QOTD March 6 2007
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007I went to a sit-in class this morning of the Tias Part-Time MBA program which I’m looking at to start in September *this*
year. The topic was strategic management…boy is this interesting
stuff!! Especially when I consider some of the current challenges
within my former company.
The professor put on a slide with an interesting quote, which I want to promote as QOTD:
L. Gratton:
“A company with low levels of trust and commitment is as bankrupt as
one with low levels of financial capital – it is essentially a dying
company”

you're going to mystify a lot of folks."

QOTD December 12 2006
Tuesday, December 12th, 2006Gilda Radner: "I always wanted a happy ending… Now I've
learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories
don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not
knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it
without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity."
QOTD December 6 2006
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006Hugh Macleod: "The old ways are dead. And you need people
around you who concur./ That means hanging out more with the creative
people, the freaks, the real visionaries, than you're already doing.
Thinking more about what their needs are, and responding accordingly.
Avoid the dullards; avoid the folk who play it safe. They can't help
you any more. Their stability model no longer offers that much
stability. They are extinct, they are extinction."
QOTD November 24 2006

Peter McWilliams: "Acceptance is not a state of passivity or
inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or
replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to
successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the
way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't
fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation
should be changed."
QOTD November 22 2006
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006Martha Graham: "There is a vitality, a life force, an

because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is
unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other
medium and will be lost."
