From The New York Times: ESSAY: The End of Tenure? Two recent books resurrect the debate over universities and the supposedly pampered people who teach there. http://nyti.ms/cJ8Yjh What are your thoughts?
Teams with just one "bad apple" can see a performance disadvantage of 30-40% when compared to teams without one.
This is one of my management mantras.
How do you handle mistakes in your office?
Passion, practice, persistence, commitment, sacrifice, and rest.
We struggle with this in fundraising. How do we get people to take action by getting engaged in our cause and (later) making a gift? It always works best when the cause is already something they are passionate about; something that has affected them personally (or a good friend or family member). Trying to get people to care about something they feel no personal connection to is difficult to manufacture. And when you want it to be intrinsic (that's when the biggest gifts, the ultimate gifts get made), it's virtually impossible. Something has to make them care for them to have the motivation, the will to act on it in a significant way.
