I hope you are finding some time to enjoy the holidays with family, friends and those most important to you. This month's lead article titled "Gratitude as a Business Strategy," seems appropriate for this time of year and suggests that all of us suffer from GDD—Gratitude Deficit Disorder. The article also references a "broken tile" syndrome, which suggests we often overlook the many things that are working, while focusing only on the shortlist that needs improvement. Does that sound familiar?
Earlier this month in the spirit of the holiday season we renewed our sponsorship of a wonderful non-profit organization called i.c.stars.

The foundation is incomplete. You still have to do some crucial work that many teams forget or take for granted on the assumption it will take care of itself. Read more...
