Editor's Notes
- #4 My journey began in Summer 2008
- #8 Jeff Delp cited this as first in building effective relationships. Research from… My own priorities in trust.
- #18 What is exciting is how many great and accessible thinkers there are right now to inspire and inform us: including Dan Pink, the Heath brothers, Carol Dweck, and for me especially Steven Johnson and Chris Anderson of TED. However, we can’t teach it. We can only create cultures which make it more possible.
