Instead, she set about making a documentary called Baby, Let Your Hair Hang Down and started working with children who suffer from alopecia.

Michelle and I have finished delivering our contribution to the National Seminar Series (NSS) run by the Australian Institute of Architects, slightly later than expected because of volcanic ash.

by Geoff Barbaro on 30. May, 2011 in Blogs, Corporate Growing Pains, Geoff's Blog, Leadership, Organisational Alignment, Strategy, Values
Even the best managed and planned businesses can experience corporate growing pains. Take this story a small business owner told us recently. He began his business almost 30 years ago with a partner.

Our starting points should be respect for our fellow human beings, respect and trust in people rather than refusing to give them the basic rights that all people deserve. Respect and trust are things to be lost, not gained.
The NFL & Radical Management
by Geoff Barbaro on 26. Oct, 2010 in Geoff's Blog, Leadership, Organisational Alignment
The theme that top-down power and management often don’t work is one I fully support. The problem here is a fundamental misunderstanding of the realities of an NFL team.
Twitter, Microsoft and corporate growing pains

Twitter seems to accept that corporate growing pains are a natural part of corporate life, need to be recognised and addressed, and that they are a valuable part of corporate life. They have identified passion bleeders and success barriers and taken steps to remove them. Microsoft seems to be denying the existence of growing pains, instead looking at external forces (eg competitors, GFC). As a result, many are asking what Microsoft stands for and are looking much more closely at the values and products of others.
