adiabatic & anisotropic

Five key abilities in a high-EQ leader:

1. to quickly reduce stress (one's own, and that of others)
2. to recognize and manage your own emotions
3. to connect with others using nonverbals
4. to use humour and play to deal with challenges
5. to resolve conflicts positively and with confidence 

New names for people we work with:

Innovators are yellow on the right. 
Early adopters are red on the right
Average person is blue
Laggards are red on the left
Paid assassins are yellow on the left 

Ever wonder why Jack Welch wanted to eliminate the bottom 10% every so often?  

(I just like the sounds of "adiabatic" and "anisotropic")
