Power+Systems, Inc. Good HBR blog on middle managers. What the author missed, though, is the critical role Middles can play when they integrate with one another --i.e., when they share information, jointly diagnose the system, share best practices, coach one another, and develop new organizational synergies. Those payoffs are endless! http://bit.ly/61YL7B

This week Barry and Karen go to the OD Ne...twork Conf. where Barry has been honored to present a Master Class on his work. Will report back.

Power+Systems, Inc. Talk about a leader who should have come to a Power Lab. He doesn't have a clue about system sight or empathy for others' worlds. And the costs to himself, to his organization, and to ALL OF US are enormous. http://bit.ly/85ky4

Unlike his legendary predecessor at Bank of America, Ken Lewis turned out not to be a born leader.
