The challenge is to recognize and adapt to change before a crisis. Exceptional people are able to do just that -- they have a striking capacity to institutionalize change.

If Obama were a different type of leader-in-the-making, he would choose nonthreatening novices to ensure his being in charge. But isn't that "decider" routine part of what we were trying to end?

There are capabilities that currently and prospectively set America apart and give us an advantage over competitors -- they should be fully leveraged.

Balance is hard for most working women -- but it is particularly elusive for women wanting to be a senior exec, be in the board room, run a billion dollar division or be a CEO.

Putting aside the hubris and lack of self-awareness of the automobile CEOs... what do we do with the moribund bodies that are their business models?

Consider, in contrast, the management team that operates on trust as a basic principle in financial planning. The dynamic is quite different.

Palin's personal ambition is a real blind spot. She ignored her team of Governors at the Republican Governor's Association meeting last week.

The reality is setting in this week that the change movement generated by Barack Obama does not mean that everything and everybody is going to be new.
Stephen H. Baum | Posted 11.05.2008 | Politics
Now there will be a focus on the speed with which Obama assembles the right team, organizes for action, and absorbs facts not revealed until the transition teams dig in.

Have you ever noticed that most people who have reached the top of a profession only stay there for a little while? I call it "pinnacle-itis."

I am now certain that the Democratic Party is fit and ready to lead this nation. I have seen it in action and it works and works well!

Antithetical to the way of power inclusivity and process, which is to say, the equanimity to see and gather to oneself problems in their actuality and complexity, which Obama has embodied.
Stephen H. Baum | Posted 10.31.2008 | Politics
One of the roles of leadership is to provide such sense of control to others. And that is why the Obama infomercial is likely to have been very effective.

Whenever a nation is wounded a healer is called for. We may prefer one candidate's political policies, but the leader who can tamp down angry excesses and light a candle of hope in our hearts will win the day.

I don't want to get all starry-eyed here, but I couldn't help but wonder about the dynamics of the recent congressional hearing I testified at about how to help the economy.

I may have missed it, but I never read of John McCain's leading anything in that crisis. And, thankfully. With his impulsive leadership style, we might not be here writing about it.

The Constitution, Article VI, Section 3, states "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

It feels as if Obama, a naturally cautious, deliberate adult, gives little quarter to fear and anger. He will serve as a counter-example Bush, whose entire career in office has been fueled by both.
Paula Gordon | Posted 10.13.2008 | Politics
I don't believe that Mr. McCain understands the damage to this nation and our people that the Republican party has wrought.
Jacqueline Leo | Posted 10.13.2008 | Politics
The reason John McCain is ten points behind Barack Obama is, ironically, one of the main reasons people want to vote for him -- he's a maverick.
