The strength of our relationships depends on the congruence between what we say that we believe and then how we act day-by-day. Trust, loyalty, and affection are strongest when the gap between espoused and lived values is minimal. Our values are more real when we make the choices that support those principles. |

Seasoned leaders know the importance of balance. But finding the right balance doesn’t mean moderation in all things. Rather it means being versatile and flexible. It means using the appropriate mix of various ingredients to help people grow and blossom. Great leaders have the wisdom to know what actions are needed and necessary to achieve success. |

I ran a quick poll recently where I asked people to fess up and admit whether or not they read business email on Sunday. The idea came to me while reading work email on a Sunday afternoon and over 80% in my quick poll said they did, too. What about other bits of ageless wisdom that are really just garbage? I've come up with a couple, you can add to them as you see fit. |

Short questions get you long answers. Long questions get you short answers. It is up to you as to the approach you want to take, but if you want to actually learn something about the customer’s needs, you will get there quicker by asking short questions. |

No company grows by cutting expenses or staying on the "bunny slope." They grow by improving their productivity, business acumen, and overall ability to manage risk. Remember that all things being equal, the higher the risk you can effectively manage, the higher the ultimate gain you can realize. |

Great design is a paradox. The better a design is, the simpler it appears. And the easier it is to understand. Two words immediately come to my mind: elegance and ease. When a design is good, we “just see that it is”. It's intuitive. Obvious. In exactly the same way that not having to spend hours reading a tedious and complicated manual to figure out how to make something work – but just recognizing what needs to be done - is intuitive. |

Esther Dyson the Great Dame of Silicon Valley, wrote a harsh column August 26th
on GPS CNN on ICANN gTLD. I like and respect Esther especially her technical
background, we have shared the podium, but as this topic deals with the centrality

it’s my responsibility to clarify and have taken the liberty to address her entire
piece item by item. |

Training is not a panacea for all a company's problems. Of course, training can be of immense value and benefit in addressing many problems, but if the cause of the problem comes from higher up or outside their area of influence, then it can be a waste of time. You need to address the root cause of the problem if you want to stop it and rebuild and retrain effectively with positive, long term results. |

Is $185,000 the right price for a single gTLD? No, it’s definitely not. If a
gTLD is supposed to provide worldwide exclusive use of a name identity with unlimited
sub-name-brand-extension-domains, this amount is insufficient for ICANN to add
on critical features in the same application process. |

Since childhood, all of us, at one time or another, have thought about having a magic lamp and making our three wishes. Several years ago, I wrote a novel entitled The Lamp about adults making real-life wishes and then making them come true. Recently, my partner Tracy J. Trost and I have turned The Lamp book into a movie. Here’s a preview. (There is a link to the trailer, and this article includes Jim's Christopher Story - an absolutely wonderful video of Jim in action. ed.)

Psychologist Paul Bloom argues that human beings are essentialists -- that our beliefs about the history of an object change how we experience it, not simply as an illusion, but as a deep feature of what pleasure (and pain) is.
