Lockdown Relived – What I Have Learned from Sheltering in Place

How did you learn that the world economy was suddenly locking down at lightning speed? How did you find out about “shelter in place?” What was your reaction when you saw restaurants and stores close down and streets emptying? What were you thinking? How did you react? What’s the date? When did it all begin? The lockdown date that the US seems to be settling on March 15th as the beginning of the lockdown. It is the date that will go into history books. This[…]

Beyond Fast: Agility – the New Plan to Play to Win

By: deltaeditor

Working remotely from home in a pandemic–with technology that doesn’t always work–can be tough. It can make days that glom together seem like a long, never ending slog. It can feel like rowing a kayak down a fast moving river through white rapids–with a broken broom stick. It takes a new agility, moving into waters where we’ve never been before. When I think of agility I think of Shaquille O’Neal. He had an unheard of physique for a professional basketball player, totally unsuited for the game. […]

Facebook – Love it or Leave it?

By: Jack Speer

Have you declared your intention to slice up your Facebook account into a billion cyber-pieces–to leave and never return? I certainly wouldn’t call it a stampede, but a number in our Tuesday Community tell me they’re done with Facebook and all its ilk. They’re feelings have been hurt on Facebook. They have been enraged, it’s a huge time sink–and by the way, they “like” the posts of all sorts of people who don’t “like” them back. It’s a social media caste system of the self-appointed[…]

A SURVIVOR’S GUIDE TO THE 2020 PANDEMIC

By: Jack Speer

Carol and I still walk 20+ miles with our puppies each week through downtown, and it’s strange to pass by closed stores and offices–on a walk with no destination leading to nowhere. It’s really weird, isn’t it, to see the news coverage of major cities with empty downtown streets with nobody moving around? Everyone is thinking, “When and how will this end?”: Is this the End of the World? Several decades ago I read the iconic 1949 sci-fi novel, Earth Abides, by George R. Stewart. The main[…]

A Band Together -Who Do You Want on Your Team?

By: Jack Speer

Who do you want on your team? There is no more fundamental question. That’s the question the NFL, the military, business, and every group asks that wants to get something done. This question–who do you want on your team–tops business fundamentals like sales and revenue. With the right team, every problem can be solved except those like hurricanes and tornados. Even well -funded organizations with everything going for them fail because of dysfunctional teams. Putting together a great team with effective team members often seems[…]
