Risky Business
I wrote about risk and sunk costs yesterday. (Other posts about risk are here and here.) And, I still don’t see any improvement in our leader’s capabilities (read Congress, Senate, Governors, et. al.) in this area. Nor have I seen schools taking up the banner. And, the end results is that we will continually make choices that are counter to our best interests. Some history…
Change Happens- Embrace It!
I don’t normally post items that involve religion or politics. Today will be an exception…

The good news is that my children and grandson, my ersatz family (I chose my own relatives ◊ ), and friends will all be joining the Seder. But, I digress.

Do You Know This Key to Building Team Trust?
I’ve never done this before. But, Mo Fathelbab, of the Forum Resources Network, a friend of many years, sent me a post last week that was fantastic. I asked him for permission to share it with you. And, he agreed. His website was www.forumnet.net. (As of 2020, it is no longer found- sorry.)
