Systems thinking: we are part of the whole, which means we can have impact on the whole. Know that the point of leverage can be you: http://bit.ly/6wUJ6v

That Alvin Toffler quote, "The illiterate of the twenty-first century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn" is just like Kurt Lewin's "freeze, unfreeze, re-freeze" model. It's so incredibly relevant as the context in which we function is shifting beneath our feet. http://www.expertmagazine.com/artman/publish/article_1094.shtml

I think the question behind your question is: what makes social networking/media valuable? I think the answer lies here: http://bit.ly/LVGm. Similar to performance management techniques, this site mentions a whole host of ways in which to ID value in the social media space. Revenue is just one of many ways to measure value, I think.

Just finished watching my first episode of Undercover Boss. Based on what I see in the blogs, there seems to be much criticism out there for it... but nothing reminds me more of why I am personally in the business of aligning systems and processes so that they bring out the best in the individual: it's the people that make up the success in any organization. http://bit.ly/9wOVBz

Chaos Theory meets Change Management. "Chaos theory implies that leadership should not be reserved for merely a distinct few "top" within the organization. Rather, all who hold a stake in the welfare and stability of the organization must "conduct" leadership. Under this new leadership paradigm, organizations must first ensure that that its members revisit the ultimate purpose and core principles of the organization." http://bit.ly/bOGho4

There's a lot to be said about the value of a shared vision for an organization. Here's Mark Lipton, one of my professors at The New School, speaking on the importance of having full organizational alignment of an *aspiration* (not just a "goal"): http://bit.ly/aM7o6J

I went to a meeting not to long ago called, "The Greatest Minds" in Boston. They broke us out into generations (I fell in the Gen X) and it was interesting to see the range in age that encompassed Gen X. It was an eye opener for me. I decided not to be classified any longer. Let's get after it, no matter what "Gen" we are supposed to be.
