“As it relates to science and technology, the rate of 
    change in the next decade, is likely to be 4 to7 
times faster than in the last decade.  If it is 4x faster 
it would be like planning for 2006 in 1890, if it is 7x   
  faster it would be like planning for 2006 in 1670.
  faster it would be like planning for 2006 in 1670.”

     five qualities of Extraordinary Leaders

                          p
                          patterns and shift perspective when

                      3. Create ‐ Ability to think strategically 
                          and critically to gain insights that create 
                          new opportunities
                          new opportunities
                      4. Communicate ‐ Ability to 
                          collaborate inside and outside your 
                          organization and to build and sustain

                          social networks of people engaged in 
                          the work
                      5. Inspire – Ability to mobilize support

Sight
        What is above knows what is below, but what is below 
         does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. 
        One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. 
        One descends one sees no longer but one has seen
          There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower 
         regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. 
          When one can no longer see, one can at least still 
          When one can no longer see, one can at least still
                                know.

           Social Notworking?
This is defined as “The

practice of spending time 
unproductively on social‐
networking websites, 
         k       b

social networking sites such 
                   g
as facebook,myspace and

           One day at work they took away our tools, like

payoffs (in the workplace).”– “The Strength of Internet Ties” Report
Sooooo….
Social Notworking is a 
managerial problem, not a 
technology problem.

If a salesman spends his day 
 making personal phone calls 
 rather than phoning potential 
 customers, the solution is not 
 to take away the phone. The 
 solution is to make clear what 
 is and is not acceptable
