Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Amazing -

You should go check out Tom Peters' blog and books (here's one specific entry: http://tompeters.com/entries.php?note=008910.php).

One of his big mantras is that women are set to be the next generation of leaders as the hierarchical organizational structures start to favor collaborative management styles and emotional intelligence.

Let's try that link again:

the last ")" was messing it up!

Thanks for this reference, Ann...you always seem to tap into the most cutting edge resources which inspire us all!

It's in moments like these.. that I realize how valuable ... and how different.. are the talents of both men and women... and I am privileged to work among great leaders in both genders! Guess that's why I am always learning and always surprised by the talents that differ ... and yet come together ... When we hear more views from both genders, we find ourselves wanting to hear more ... especially from other racial groups as well. What do you think?

Ellen - I've been contemplating lately why so many people demand that everything has to be an absolute. People don't seem to like the answer that one thing might be best in one situation and something else might be better in another - and in still another it might be a blend of both!

Why does it have to be men or women?
books or digital?
blog comments on or you're not a blog (go see webmetricsguru)?
and the classic catch all - black or white?

Is there a brain based reason why so many people hate to deal with the gray???? (sounds like this could be a blog entry in the making for both of us!)

What a brilliant question -- an so worth more ideas! I heard John Updyke on NPR this morning say that people in the 'black-white" "good-bad" mindset, tend to follow extremism and funtamentalism to defend their beliefs regardless of how many others get hurt. He was referring to the Canadians just caught trying to blow up parts of Toronto... You raise an amazing question here -- and in a community where people tend to have deep and significant ideas. Let's see what people tell us on this one! Thanks Ann-- you are a wonderful thinker and I am so glad you drop by here ....

Well, if a woman is unfeeling, and unthinking, doesn't that make her pretty much like a man? It seems inconceivable to me that someone would promote a such a concept.

John.... you are so funny... One thing this radio guy left me with is a stronger sense to stay around smart people and to stay reflective... to stay open...That's a lot easier at KMM because of people like you around here ... saying it like it is:-) Thanks for stopping by...
