Today, in organizations, there is a large gap between technology and process effectiveness.

One of my tenants for good parenting is to understand that your child is likely moving at a much faster pace of emotion and intelligence than you did; and the continual challenge is to be out front of the issues and trends at least enough to be prepared to guide, counsel and nurture them as they move through each stage of life.

I grew up in a time when people didn’t think that often about one’s impact on nature. When the first Earth Day took place in the US in 1970, it was a very small event compared with the world-wide phenomenon it has become today.
