Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Posted at 6:21 AM on Monday, June 23, 2008
In this world of cell phones, skype, email, instant messages, Twitter, Facebook, Linked In (must I continue?) It seems hard to believe that we build communities around the world better than we do right . . . next . . . door. Consider this: According to social scientists, from 1974 to 1998, the frequency with which Americans spent a social evening with neighbors fell by about one-third. Robert Putnam, the author of “Bowling Alone,” a groundbreaking study of the disintegration of the American social fabric, suggests that the decline actually began 20 years earlier, so that neighborhood ties today are less than half as strong as they were in the 1950s. This comes from a New York Times piece this morning, written by Peter Lovenheim who is writing a book about neighborhoods. (Read the full essay here.) So Let Me Ask You?When was the last time you focused on building the community with those who live near you rather than logging into Facebook? When was the last time you worked on your relationships at in the office rather than doing more email? Networking, social media, and being in touch and available is great, but what are we trading for those wonderful new things? Get some balance today - for yourself, your co-workers, those you lead, and for your neighbors. Everyone will win. Labels: relationships PermaLink - 0 comments

A Lesson in Humility
Posted at 12:42 PM on Friday, May 30, 2008
All of us, in all of the roles we play in life need to be cognizant of humility. Whenever you begin to feel that you are moving beyond confident to cocky, or feeling a bit satisified with your results, read this quotation: "I have been in all things unholy; if God can work through me, He can work through anyone." - St. Francis of AssisiThis sentiment is a model for humilty for me. I don't believe we need to be wallflowers or lack confidence, but our performance as an individual and a leader will always improve with a healthy balance of humilty in the mix.
