Comment on Uncertainty & complexity, the twin bugaboos of organizations by martha.willis@brookb

Leaders cannot deny that their greatest challenge lies in presenting an attitude of confidence, of certainty, in the face of that uncertainty. That’s why lawyers and publicists are making big doh. Right? And why it is tempting to draw the support of “yesmen” instead of seeking out those who are more willing to dialog?

The one accord that served as the church’s “kick-off” - was that dependence on the Holy Spirit?

Jack,

I’m really interested in the MQP power point; but the link is expired on the NORAD page. Could you be so kind as to email it to me, please?

Comment on Frank Smith’s Learners’ Manifesto by Jack

Good to hear from you. No, I don’t know where Frank Smith is for sure. I assumed it was still in Canada. He seems like a Simon Fraser University type, though. I, too, am a fan. Part of it originated when I found he had a background in journalism. I noticed your website. I’ll have to visit.

Great to see someone posting Frank Smith’s Learners Manifesto in 2009. One of my all time favorite books, Insult to Intelligence.

Have you been in touch with him lately, if so, where is he? Victoria, BC was his last address, is he still living? Never know now-a-days.

I love your term “intellectual harrassment.”
Looking forward to your response.

Kinda like the Positive Peer Pressure (P3) youth groups in some of the counties? Making good things “infectious” and easily “transmitted”? But I guess those are outside forces, still…

Yes, should have been “from” not “for.” Thanks for catching that. Love.

I love the thought of this. It applies, it applies at the most basic level.

is that “importing change for the outside” or is what you meant to say “importing change from the outside”? Just wondered.

This makes me feel better about sometimes not getting the “right answer” on paper and pencil tests as a kid.
