“Our security manager can handle viruses and hackers, but an abusive boss is another story.”
“A legendary ad executive tells how he uses blogs and how companies can use them in their marketingówithout being crushed.”
“Bigha is one of my favorite companies. Their approach to marketing and public relations is so fresh and open that itís hard not to like themóeven when theyíre accused of something as extreme as supporting terrorism. You see, one of the products that Bigha makes is a big green laser pointer known as ‘Jasper.’ If youíve been keeping up with the news, youíve probably heard of the fathead who thought it would be fun to shine a Jasper at an airplane cockpit. In cases like these, some people blame the manufacturers. In this case, Bigha got a visit from the FBI and a fair amount of negative press for their ìinvolvementî in the case. Instead of relying on public relations jockeying to ‘make it go away,’ however, Bigha actually spoke openly about the issue on their website.”

Imagination allows people to put themselves in the shoes of others ? such as customers and colleagues ó in order to understand them better and work with them better.”
It’s sort of like XPLANE’s Blockhead characters come to life! “Finally, the drudgery of corporate life has been captured in a play set for adults! Bob, Joe, Ted, and Ann spend eight hours a day, five days a week, at tiny desks in tiny cubicles in a giant room packed with countless similar cubicles in a giant building filled with countless similar rooms.”
“One of the tried and true organization and time-management tools is the trusty old ‘to do’ list. I was trained to diligently put one together at the end of the day for the following day, and whatever tasks I failed to complete, to carry it forward. This system has worked well in helping me prioritize and focus. But I have also heard many of my colleagues complain about having too much on their list, and feeling very discouraged and overwhelmed by the sheer number of items on their ‘To Do’ list. To help ease the overwhelm, I want to introduce the concept of the ìStop Doingî list…”
