The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
~ Kenneth Blanchard ~ “Looking at communication, not just through it to see how it affects other things, gives us a way of thinking about the events and objects of the social world that differs substantially from the modernistic way of thinking. Our attention is drawn to wholes rather than parts; to dynamics rather than to substances; to reflectivity rather than linear relations; and to interactions rather than single actions.”
~ W. Barnett Pearce ~ |

"Strategies are implemented by the allocation of resources. When you decide to write three articles, give one speech, and hold a seminar, and at the same time decide not to send out any mailings, you are making a strategic decision, whther or not you recognize it as one. In a world of infinite resouces this would not be a concern, because you could do everything you want to do, but for most of us time and money are scarce. Spending them on one task means we forego some other." ~ Ford Harding in Rainmaking: Part III From Tactics to Strategy - What Works and What Doesn't

"Ideas from Beliefs and Problems. A person whose experiences and interests have led him to a deep conviction never lacks a subject to talk about, but he may need to examine his belief from new points of view: How does it fit into his overall system of values? What are the implications in relation to other problems? Why do other people hold different, even opposite convictions? Why should those who are indifferent become interested? What mutual values are involved?" ~ Sarett, Sarett, & Foster in Basic Principles of Speech, pg 157 Chapter 7 Discovering Ideas, Sources, and Methods

"Specific Points to Note. Locate access routes into the area. Auto maps are poor. Forest Service maps are very good, and local inquiries are invaluable. Read your maps carefully for type of roads shown. A small map distance of impassable road may mean an extra day spent backpacking. Do not plan so closely, but two such days may cost the party its objective." ~ Finding your way in the Outdoors by Robert L. Mooers, Jr.
