		<description><![CDATA[Aviators are deservedly proud of achieving the “sterile cockpit” operational standard in which air crews refrain from nonessential activities during critical flight maneuvers and below 10,000 feet. Prior to the FAA’s sterile cockpit mandate in 1981, there had been several major aircraft accidents attributed to lack of operational focus and idle chatter among flight crew members. However, this concept--professional focus during safety-critical maneuvers--goes back much further than the aviation rule.]]></description>

Sometimes she "forgot" to do things that were on her personal check sheet she completed and sent to the next team. Other times she did not seem to pay attention to what she was doing and got way behind in her work.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If doing what is good for society were always profitable in the short or medium run, we would have had no finance sector collapse, no climate crisis, no pollution, and no sweatshops. But we have all those things--not because businesspeople are evil or stupid, but because none of us can personally take on the costs of social responsibility, while donating all the benefits to others. In a competitive economy, if being socially responsible costs a company more, it will be outperformed by less responsible competitors.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Students of organizations are familiar with the distinction drawn between what some call “positional power” (i.e., formal authority) and “personal power” (the kind of influence you exercise based on your style, personality, or charisma). To these two can be added a third: the power, authority, and influence that you exercise by virtue of your knowledge and expertise.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was approached to write articles about ISPI Collaborate, I was very excited. I admit, my writing is a bit rusty, but I figured I had majored in journalism, so I might as well put it to the test. After my initial excitement wore off, the fear crept in. What am I going to write about? Can I do it justice? As I began my journey, I tried navigating ISPI Collaborate like a ghost because I did not want to interfere with those using the platform. I looked in on everything, but never engaged.  ]]></description>

The running around from one place to the next, jumping through fiery hoops, scaling stairs in a single pounce, delivering printed materials to the next room, making sure all the rooms are set up correctly, tweeting, “Facebooking,” posting on LinkedIn, and helping attendees find the correct course is, for a lesser use of the word, awesome! It is always worth it to me to see something that has taken so long in planning finally come together. ]]></description>
