New Bottom Line returns! I've finally resumed writing and publication of New Bottom Line -- my periodic 'strategic perspectives on business and environment.' I wrote these -- biweekly -- for years for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate, and then shifted to self-syndication. (And was fortunately prescient -- or early -- enough to keep the rights!) I took a break a few years ago, and lost the rhythm; I've finally regained it, and am back on a regular monthly cycle. The two most recent NBLs: Key Sustainability KPIs: the simple, the sobering, the significant Teams in motion: Engineering grace, management elegance These and 100+ preceding are archived on my company web site (see link to the right), and are also published at greenbiz.com. For an email subscription to these monthly perspectives, use the sign-up on left side of the Natural Logic home page. 5:45:39 PM    comment []  trackback []

Speed You must arise in the morning as if your property were burning in a fire, and you make haste to rescue it; as if the King had summoned you for a task and you must make haste so as not to be accused of negligence; so you must arise every morning. - The Kitzur Shulhan Arukh, quoted in 'Tony Kushner in Conversation' (edited by Vorlicky, UMP, 1998) This is what stopping can do. There is nothing passive about it. And when you decide to go, it's a different kind of going because you stopped. The stopping actually makes the going more vivid, richer, more textured. It helps keep all the things we worry about and feel inadequate about in perspective. It gives us guidance. - Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are   Both right. 5:29:08 PM    comment []  trackback []
