~ May 31, 2011 SteamLite recreates a skiomng experience which is very similar to traditional skiomng. The electronic cigarette looks feels, tastes and smokes like a real cigarette and it offers smokers the pleasure of skiomng without the worry of harmful side-effects

Como ingenuo que soy, nunca creed que el risacmo y la xenofobia penetraredan tambie9n en el Blog de Es Pfablico, donde se supone que participa gente de cierto nivel, sino e9tico al menos intelectual. En cualquier caso voy a deciros lo siguiente:Me1s que preocuparos por la inmigracif3n, deberedais preocuparos por las barbaridades que hace la gente, con independencia de su color, nivel de riqueza, religif3n o lugar de residencia o nacimiento.Cuando la poblacif3n espaf1ola se otorgue leyes justas, las cumpla y se comporte civilizada y e9ticamente (comenzando por los poledticos ),tendremos todo el derecho a exigir a cualquiera que venga que haga lo mismo y el nfamero de los que vengan no sere1 un problema, si somos inteligentes, buenos y sabios.

Tienes razf3n; realmente es muy petacuponre la situacif3n que se planteare1 cuando sobrevenga una crisis econf3mica, que sin duda vendre1, dados los ciclos econf3micos, inevitablemente, la situacif3n que se creare1 cuando no haya trabajo para todos. Ahora sereda el momento de planificar responsablemente. Pero es que esa palabra no existe para los poledticos. Mirar para otro lado no soluciona nada.

Hi Dan,Thanks for directing me to your blog. It was hefplul as you said it would be.Let me start by saying that I totally agree with your comments and your thinking. A challenge that I am constantly confronting in the leadership development' realm is moving people from the mindset of ‘employee’ to ‘leader’ and moving people from getting it' in principle to actually putting the principles into practice on a daily basis. This can be a leadership philosophy, corporate values, core beliefs that all drive key leadership behaviors, to Enterprise 2.0 technologies implementation etc. In my experience when I am able to help individuals self discover, why, if they agree in principle to a concept, value, or philosophy that when the pressure of the day to day comes they behave in ways contrary to that principle, then we are getting somewhere. This contradiction, ‘what I agree to in principle I don’t always implement’, requires a deeper look at the conflicting beliefs that we have that drive our behaviors. As you know it also requires accountability and HR systems that are aligned to support the key behaviors.I am sure you have seen, as I have, individuals come to agreement on a specific value, behavior or even philosophy and yet act in contrary ways in the organization. We have both heard the comments from others about the necessity of all people walking the talk and the fallout that occurs when they don't. The impact on trust, credibility, integrity and on the future of any successful implementation of any program, philosophy, cost reduction measure etc is significant to say the least.So Dan, I am in your corner. Keep at it because people like you are the ones that do make a difference, and your influence gives others courage to get on the same bus.Paul

Hi Dan couldn't agree with you more I think that there are a locpue of things I would add to your post, although maybe you have defined this in other enterprise 2.0 posts?1. organizations are still operating in an old paradigm of full time employment, for knowledge workers especially, and this is an expensive approach which isn't sustainable and leads to the cost reductions. I think a new definition of work would really help not everyone wants it and yet many orgs deal with alternative work arrangements through HR policies, not thinking critically about organizational needs. It also gives an application of the web 2.0 tools which I think are vastly underutilized in many orgs.2. as cynical as it sounds, buying leadership development training is comfortable and easy (plus there are all those high powered firms who sell it so well). It is easier as an org. to point to the fact that you are doing something tangible.(i.e. training ppl), than revamping your leadership philosophy.Keep up the great posts, I enjoy your POV!
