SidePocket: Closing Shop

You must take the tide at its flood.

That is the sad lesson of organizational leadership.  

You may like your colleagues.  You may like where you work.  You may even like what you do.  

But there are times when you must loose the ropes that bind you to shore and start the journey afresh.

SidePocket: Who is Represented?

Blame the bosses. 

A tried and effective strategy.

And some times, it is actually true.

But grudges can blind our eyes, leaving us with a moment of self satisfaction and not much more.
