leadership
I am watching a webcast at work about Leadership, and really enjoying it. Just listened to Stephen Covey (the 7 habit guy), Malcom Gladwell (the tipping point, blink), and currently listening to an interview with Richard Branson.
They all have had very very insightful things to say, though I've found they haven't said anything I *don't* know. Not to say that knowing means doing. I really wonder, with so many accessible channels to learn about leadership and success, how come so few actually make it to that level?
I really believe that Malcom Gladwell is right on with his observation of instintive judgement. There is defnitely something mysterious, and powerful, about it.

Yet another reason we need a major health care overhaul. This reminds me of how women were being denied coverage for their second c-sections because they had a "pre-existing condition." This isn't even veiled sexism -- it's misogyny.
