I blogged a bit about their 2006 study , so thought I would give the 2011 update a read as well. Its a survey of more than 3,000 executive directors of non-profit organizations and, although it seems weighted towards charitable and social service organizations, there are a few interesting parallels and tidbits for associations.

I tweeted this TED video out a little while ago, with the question, "Does this frighten you, or inspire you?" TED videos are always 18 minutes or less, but this one clocks in at under 6. - - - - - - - - - - OK? The woman is so full of corporate groupthink slogans, the video is more chilling than a George Orwell novel.

Born in 2006 as the brainchild of Dr. Nick LaRusso, the CFI was first called the SPARC Lab (with the acronym standing for its methodology: see, plan, act, refine, and communicate).
