  • Linchpin

    I got the new book by Seth Godin – Linchpin today.  I haven’t started reading it.  It doesn’t go on sale until January 26th, and I’ll probably have it read by then.  Honestly, I have on idea what it’s about, but if you have it as well, let’s read it…

  • Really Bad Powerpoint

    I am working on a presentation for a speaking engagement for this weekend.  I’m a big fan of Seth Godin and his ideas.  He’s pretty particular about presentations – being a marketer and all.  He has on his blog a post called “really bad powerpoint”  Do a search for it…

  • LL22: Make the Decision

    Having the ability to make decisions is a great leadership skill to have.  This idea is a similar to LL5, but different in that not as much gets done in indecision. I was talking to someone yesterday about change at the institution.  I challenged them to make a difference; to…

  • Want a Free Book

    There’s actually a ton of them available.  You just have to know where to go.  I’ll share one with you.  It’s a Seth Godin book.  I believe it was his second one.  You can download the whole thing for free – in pdf form.  Just click here and download it.…

  • Is the Customer Always Right?

    I just read S. Godin’s blog from a few days ago.  He says that “The customer is always right” doesn’t mean that they’d win in court or a debate. It means, “If you want the customer to remain a customer, you need to permit him to believe he’s right.” I…

  • A Disagreement

    Awhile ago, I post a youtube video of Seth Godin and Tom Peters about blogging.  Click here to see that post/video.  It’s a great video.  You have to check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. I follow Seth’s Blog and I also follow Tom’s Blog.  Today Seth posted…

  • Tribes by Seth Godin

    Don’t buy this book.  Well, I bought it, but gave it away because it was so good.  I downloaded the audio for free.  I’m sure Seth wouldn’t like that I said to not buy the book since you can download it for free, but I’ve listen to the book over…

  • Leadership Training

    I was listening to the Tribes audiobook this morning on the way to work. Seth says that we have been trained for years to avoid leadership. That definitely resonates with me – I can think of opportunities where I consciously avoided leadership, but what how about the unconscious avoidance of…

  • Leading a Movement

    I watched a Seth Godin video again on Tribes. When you leave something for awhile and you listen again, you’re able to pick up things that you’ve missed from previous viewings. According to Seth, what’s important is leading a movement and anyone in any field can do this. This time…

  • Selling a Feeling

    I was watching a Seth Godin video – from visceralbusiness.com (I got it off iTunes).  He’s a marketing guru, and he was talking about selling – and marketing.  It’s been interesting to learn about marketing and advertising.  There is a shift for those that are involved in advertising.  When they…

  • Humbled but not satisfied, content but not done

    This was my status update on Facebook this morning.  I wrote it.  I thought it.  I believe it, but it’s interesting to look at it after I’ve written and really ponder it.  It was a quick thought – but as I continue to think about it, it pretty revealing. What…

  • Tribal Consciousness 2

    I blogged about tribal consciousness 3.30 – after hearing a talk from Rob Bell.  I wrote about it in light of identity formation and the safety that one can find in identifying with a tribe.  In the past few weeks, I’ve been reading and learning about Seth Godin’s ideas of…
