"A great quote can provide personal inspiration and can be used to educate others. The contributor shares his top 100 leadership quotes of all time." Excerpted (some of my own favorites taken from Kevin's list): You don’t need a title to be a leader. –Multiple Attributions A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. —John Maxwell My own definition of leadership is this: The capacity and the will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence. —General Montgomery Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. —Peter Drucker Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has. —Margaret Mead The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born. —Warren Bennis To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less. —Andre Malraux He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander. —Aristotle Deb: It seems to be true, per another Scoop, that leadership, in a sense, doesn't really exist, from Peter Drucker's perspective. It is about trust, respect, leader development opportunity, influence and community (relationship / networks / feedback.) That's my perspective on the leadership-train-talk.

In this example, a single customer interview netted more than 38 pieces of content. And here are the essentials on how to get your customers to help you. Love this very clear how-to article for gathering customer stories. The author provides very clear steps on how to get this done. Yeah! Her best piece of advice is to not do the interviews yourself -- find someone else who is a good listener, maybe even someone outside your company. Excellent tip. Asking customers for their stories is sometimes hard to do. Maybe the story the business wants to hear is not the story your customer wants to tell -- and I don't mean that customers want to complain. I just mean that businesses need to be open to all kinds of stories a customer may want to share. Sometimes it is a lot easier for a neutral party to gather these stories for you. My only other comment is that the author focuses on case studies. But case studies are not the only kind of customer narrative to write. Case studies are not the only effective kind of customer story to share. Better to just collect the stories and then determine what form to use. It is fabulous that the author shares how a single story can parley into 38 pieces of content. That is a content creator's dream come true! Read the article for the author's process, great tips, and a free downloadable book. Thanks Giuseppe Mauriello @pinomauriello for suggesting this article to me!

"The executive work/life dilemma for women and men includes Steve Jobs' contributions while seriously ill - a provocative thought piece by the Glass Hammer." Change leaders are culture leaders. The American leader work ethic for women and men is featured here, in controversy about growing leaders, both women and men. It's a long term, evolving change & leadership issue with shifting impact for both genders. ~ Deb Excerpts: There’s increasing polarization on the subject of how to handle work-life’s ever-escalating challenges for women. ___________________________ “Work-life balance is not some nice idea that isn’t achievable or important. It is important to all of us for sustainable mental and physical health & well-being. The key word is sustainable.” ___________________________
The friction is visible in the varied media responses to news that incoming Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer will be the first female CEO to take the top spot while pregnant, and to Anne-Marie Slaughter’s controversial cover story for The Atlantic, Why Women Still Can’t Have It All. Part of the dilemma revolves around a concept coined by Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s COO: “leaning in” versus “leaning back.”
Sandberg describes how failing to “lean in” inadvertently leads many women to leave the workforce:
“Women almost never make one decision to leave the workforce,” said Sandberg. ...Maybe it’s the last year of med school when they say, I’ll take a slightly less interesting specialty because I’m going to want more balance one day. Maybe it’s the fifth year in a law firm when they say, I’m not even sure I should go for partner, because I know I’m going to want kids eventually. ...And from that moment, they start quietly leaning back. The problem is, often they don’t even realize it.” “During the last years of his life, [Steve Jobs] created the iPhone, the iPad, he was moving into television. ...He was very sick...in the last years of life when he didn’t have time.” “Work-life balance is not some nice idea that isn’t achievable or important. It is important to all of us for sustainable mental and physical health and well-being. The key word is sustainable, ” says Teri Johnson. She suggests the analogy a long distance runner versus a relay racer. “Any of us can push hard in a relay, but the distance runner knows to pace herself, to make rest days as important as training days and to take excellent care of herself to avoid injury. She saves the real push for the race, when it is important.” Read the full post here. Photo credit: JD Hancock

Social networking may have been born in a dorm room. But when it comes to equipping students with the social media skills demanded by today’s jobs, colleges are failing miserably.

USC's Hernandez says students should bypass the normal route and "hijack your school's assets to selfishly improve your skills." Be a journalist and treat “Googling” as reporting. Teach yourself something new, like I taught myself CSS many years ago, and am now teaching myself JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and more today. (Here’s just a list of resources to start with: Codecademy, Learn Python The Hard Way, and The Bastards Book of Ruby.)

Les politiques publiques de l’accès à l’information se sont construites sur l’accès et la diffusion de biens rares et rivaux, c’est-à-dire que la jouissance des objets tangibles qu’elles mettent à disposition prive d’autres personnes de cette même jouissance. Or le propre du numérique est la faculté de reproduire des biens non rivaux à l’identique et sans perte d’information, à l’infini, et pour un coût quasi nul. Le contexte est radicalement nouveau car il permet la création et la diffusion à grande échelle de Biens communs informationnels.
