Get into Fast Company Today!

Fast Company's mission is to define the new world of business and to capture the spirit of the men and women who are making it happen. It serves as a handbook for the business revolution: a manifesto for change and a manual for achieving it. It's both a resource and a mentor, dedicated to improving and innovating work.

culture

Oshry's Power Camp

where businesspeople confront issues of power and authority inside organizations - issues fundamental to the world of work ... Upon departure, they lose sleep, crash cars, leave jobs. Here the rules of engagement are different, the mental and physical demands extreme. People who attend say it's the weirdest place they've ever been. They say it's just like their company.

"FAST Company had a great article on the Power Camp in the last issue. You can find it at www.fastcompany.com/online/10/camp.html. It is a quick read with a powerful message."

leadership

The Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership

The Greenleaf Center's mission is to fundamentally improve the caring and quality of all institutions through a new approach to leadership, structure, and decision making. Servant-leadership emphasizes increased service to others; a holistic approach to work; promoting a sense of community; and the sharing of power in decision making.

"The Center has a variety of programs, speakers, conferences and over 60 books, essays and video-tapes pertaining to servant-leadership. Their International Conferences are keynoted by the likes of Steve Covey (this year), Peter Block (in past years)... "

Business Schools & Interpersonal Effectiveness Development

I consider this an important topic that impacts most OD consultants and worth exploring . . . I can speak from 10 years of consulting to one of the larger, premier internat'l strategy consulting firms . . . while numerous individuals place genuine emphasis on humanistic values, only one of 10 offices actively supports behaviors consistent with an agreed upon set of values and interpersonal operating principles. -- Mac Carter <mcarter@turningpoints.com>

"Here, taken from the ODnet, is a very well written message from a practitioner who has worked on high level with traditional Business School Graduates. I think it is more reason why what the Pepperdine MSOD program is about is so important."

Learning-Org Dialog on Learning Organizations

We focus on practitioners, i.e. those working to build learning organizations, but our group is very diverse. Most of our messages are thoughtful and inquiring. Our aim is that the discussion on this mailing list be conducted in the spirit of learning and exploration. Messages with an authoritarian tone are discouraged and "flaming" is not permitted.

In other words, we are conducting a dialogue about building learning organizations, and you are welcome to join us.

"I am hooked by the learning organization maillist . . . It's superbly moderated by Rick Karash and sponsored by Innovation Associates. For an INTP it's like falling into a briar patch -- thoughtful dialogues, real dialogues, with some good solid people."

motivation

Maslow Reading Room

Maintains a copy of "Politics 3", a paper on eupsychian political theory produced by SRI after Abraham Maslow's death. --- [ former repository of the on-line version of Abraham Maslow's book Eupsychian Management (1965) originally published by Richard D. Irwin, Inc.]

"I stumbled on this while researching Bob Tannenbaum on the web. At the request of Abe's wife it was 'edited' by friends at SRI from his journal. It talks of growing 'personal goodness, that is, of producing good human beings' and social structures and the possible use of T-groups and self-actualization and their potential role in changing the world.

Center for Innovative Leadership - ( CFIL )

information on Abraham Maslow's journal on organizations and leadership from The Center for Innovative Leadership in San Mateo, California. ( the journal was previously published in 1965 as the book Eupsychian Management by Richard D. Irwin, Inc. )

"I first stumbled on Eupsychian Management while researching Bob Tannenbaum on the web. In the 1965 version, Abe Maslow discovers OD and Bob Tannenbaum's T-groups ("unstructured groups'), with a forward by Warren Bennis. Previously available on the Web I understand Maslow's daughter has reasserted control over the copyright and that CFIL is undertaking a reissue of the work 'acting under the direction and as representative to AMK'."
