Think about the last conference you went to. It may have been your idea to attend, or maybe your boss asked you to go. Whoever made the final decision, what influenced the choice to attend? For most of us, the answer doesn’t lie in the hotel, the venue, or the food. It’s the sessions and the speakers. We attend conferences and events because we’re interested in the topics they cover and the speakers who are headlining.

I was flipping through the pages of a favorite book this week and came across the following quote: The trick is to. recognize that the power to achieve great things lies more in the work of the distributed periphery than in the inner workings of the center. It's one of those leadership lessons that I need to remind myself of more often. Truly great organizations don't cluster leadership only in their inner circle; they distribute leadership throughout their entire system.

We still haven’t figured out the best way to assess workers. But there’s more clarity around what we want out of those assessments. As brain-shatteringly hard-to-resolve mental challenges go, the employee performance review seems to be right up there with the trolley problem and the nature of consciousness. Employers understandably need some way to measure achievement and reward workers for doing their jobs well, especially when they have to budget for payroll ahead of time.

Technology is never going to stop. Technology is going to continue to make human jobs obsolete. Now we can say of course technology would displace human jobs on an assembly line. Thank goodness that so many difficult and dangerous manual labor jobs have been taken over by automation. No longer do we shovel coal into train engines, dump raw materials into steal furnaces or have to breath harmful fumes while molding and painting car parts.

In the past week I’ve met with two different associations who are struggling with their current AMS systems. A common theme between the two was lots of staff turnover. That is, since the time the system was first implemented, many (if not all!) key staff had left the organization so effectively “new” people were in charge of the database.

When my speaking schedule gets intense I bank blog posts. Weeks in advance, I will increase my writing to one or two blog posts a day. This way I am able to schedule three posts a week for the 3 to 4 weeks I will be in and out of the office. While I am traveling and speaking I tend not to write, which is a mistake because starting again is difficult.

The real estate trade group, in a series of recent reports, is starting to make the case that blockchain database technology, traditionally associated with currency, could have important uses in the housing sector. It might be a bit surprising to casual observers, but the National Association of Realtors (NAR) sees a lot of potential in blockchain. The disruptive database technology, best known for its association with bitcoin, has increasingly drawn interest in other spheres.
