Privacy–A Luxury Foregone?
Hot on the heels of Jeff Stibel’s HBR post on Social Media Failures, here’s a piece from strategy consultant, Dorie Clark proposing that “Privacy is a Luxury You Don’t Have”. Reluctantly, I tend to agree with her assertion that we have passed a tipping point driven, in part, by failure to appreciate or consider the […]

Important to Initiate Relationships at Work. Really?
I’m not at all sure about this Daily Stat from HBR: Why It’s Important to Initiate Relationships at Work.

A brief musical interlude… I’ve just received the latest issue of Guitarist magazine.
