I’m really tired. The last weeks have been way too busy and sleep has been reduced to a minimum just to keeps projects and family life going. The day before Christmas I had no work contracted for 2009. Now I’m over booked. Such is the new world of work. Too much or too little work.… Fortsätt läsa Searching balance?

Being the change you want to see
As I am writing a document for a client – a local government – I'm reminded of Gandhi's famous words: Be the change you want to see in the world.

But they can be upheld in a strong… Fortsätt läsa The future of the MBA
