Making the Leap From Good To Great

Bill Lampton Ph.D.

Jim Collins opened his book Good to Great with the statement, Good is the enemy of great. He explained that when we have good schools, good businesses and good government, we are prone to accept that level of quality as sufficient. Collins observed: Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is so easy to settle for a good life.

101 Ways to Motivate, Energize and Inspire Your Team

You want to be sure that your directions were communicated clearly and at the right intervals; that the rewards were appealing and sparked interest and drive; that your team members felt supported and prepared to take on the challenges being presented and that the program boosted morale, team effort, energy and creativity.

Importance of W3 Standards

Dave Davis

When the Internet first began, the technologies used in design were forgiving. W3-compliance wasn't as necessary because there were few browsers, less users and technologies.

All of these can be a daunting task for those web gurus who aren't well-versed in the W3 Standards.

Harald Anderson
