A colleague recently forwarded an article to me from the New York Times titled, “Message to Executives: Stop Multitasking” I read the article with interest as I consider myself a multitasker. Let’s make sure we’re on the same page here – to me multitasking is having many active projects or activities going on at the same time.

Association Advocacy Chick
APRIL 26, 2011
It’s neither comfortable nor pleasant, but at some point in our lives, we’ve all been underestimated. I routinely find myself in situations where the perception about my abilities don’t match the reality. I don’t look like the typical DC lobbyist. Heck, I don’t look like the typical association professional. However, I find that there’s a certain beauty to being what Merriam Webster defines as regard for being less than capable than they really are.

Youth to age. Inexperience to experience. Newcomer to veteran. Minority to majority. Intuition to data. Outsiders to insiders. This is how deference commonly occurs in group decision-making. If we are looking to enact a culture conducive to innovation, the deference often needs to be to the difference and the rules for yielding must be reversed: the knowing to the fresh perspectives, veterans to newcomers, the norms to the differences, internal savvy to external freshness, the counter-cultural t

Especially this piece about the drive to gather data through research before deciding on a course of action. Its not that the research wouldnt provide insight. Its just that most of these efforts are resource constrained, and its clear that teams will get more bang for their buck talking to customers, developing prototypes, sharing those prototypes wi

Some months back, I wrote a post about some very positive social media experiences. What’s on my mind now? Organizations and their missed opportunities in social media. It’s not that I’ve had bad experiences… it’s just… well, let’s say… there were missed opportunities. Let’s start by saying that if I have a positive experience (in real-life) with your brand, I’m very apt to tweet about it or status update about it or even blog post ab

Today's royal wedding is a good reminder about the role and importance of rituals. They are imbued with meaning and rules that reflect and exemplify the values and customs of a culture. Most frequently they mark transitions—birth, death, and unions—or celebrate significant achievements or remember and honor significant sacrifice. Every organization or community has its own rituals that, if appropriately attended to, can knit together meaning, shared values, and connectivity across generations of

A few weeks ago at our annual forum our board of directors made a point to thank the staff during a full conference session. They gave each staff person a card that each board member signed and had some very positive comments. This was a first for me and it was a very special thank you. Yes, I have been thanked before but to have the board take the time out of a session and to recognize the staff was something special.
