Seize Your Leadership Day: Bits Of Good Stuff
by Miki SaxonIt’s one of those odds and ends day, no unifying theme, but some good stuff.
Phil Gerbyshak sent me a link to an interesting post by his friend Roy Atkinson. Roy talks about speedership—the need to act quickly in today’s world. Roy sees it as a requirement for a positional leader, which it is, but I see it as an attitude that everybody needs these days.
Click over to the slideshow at Business Week and learn what experts are saying about how leadership has changed.
Next, in case you hadn’t heard, one of the newest social media trends are Facebook suicides, as in killing your profile. Click the link and see why people are choosing to kill their profile.
Finally, something for you to think about. What happens when doctors start treating medicine as a business? What does it mean for the future of medicine, not healthcare, in this country?

Thanks for the interesting link to the Facebook article. I have only been on Facebook since January… though I can understand the issues identified in the article, my experience has been mostly positive. There is the constant concern, though, for me, of the amount of time that social media sites can consume without my even realizing it. That time could be better spent reading, reflecting, or actually being with real people. Not ready to cancel my accounts, though!

Hi Becky, time should be a concern for all. While SM may be interesting, fun or useful, it does not hold the greatest thinking of the human race, or even of our times, but it does consume with a vengeance.
It also dumbs down conversations so that thoughts are never fully developed. Plus, there is no way to guarantee the authenticity of the parties involved; one can only hope.
