<issue_comment>username_0: /cc @fxcoudertTonight could be the night we seal our place in the knock-out stages of the Champions League. If we beat Atletico and PSV loose to Marseille tonight then we are through. We have gotten off to a good start in this seasons Champions League compared to last season. Hopefully if we can seal our fate tonight then we can relax for the last two Champions League games and focus on the Premiership.
We need a good performance tonight especially since we had a bad day at the office on the weekend against Spurs. It is important that we bounce back straight away and put in a commanding performance against Atletico. It is not going to be an easy game but I believe we have the quality to beat the Spanish side.
Of interest tonight will be to see if Torres gets the chance to play against his former club. We all wish for Fernando to be back playing but Rafa says that the hitman is only 70% ready. I feel if that is the case then maybe Torres should not even come off the bench tonight and rather let him fully recover. We have been struggling to get goals in the last two games and I have no doubt that Torres would have made the difference in the games against Pompey and Spurs.
I see us winning tonights game 2-1 and hopefully this will get us back on track after the loss to Spurs.Tag Archives: Fareed Zakaria
Every Nation for Itself & The 4 Disciplines of Execution – Books for our September First Friday Book Synopsis
We had a terrific session this morning at the First Friday Book Synopsis in Dallas. Karl Krayer presented his synopsis of Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World by Michael Hyatt, and I decided to make some upgrades to the way I blog and tweet. It looks like I’ve got some research, and some work, to do.
I presented my synopsis of the business classic The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox. It lived up to its reputation as a valuable, useful book. It is terrific.
Both of our synopses, with our comprehensive handouts plus the audio recordings of our presentations, will be available for purchase soon on our companion web site, 15minutebusinessbooks.com.
For our September 7 First Friday Book Synopsis, we have chosen two more useful and valuable books. Karl will present the synopsis of The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, Jim Huling. And I will present the synopsis of the highly recommended Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World by Ian Bremmer. You can read an interview with the author, conducted by Fareed Zakaria, who praises the book, on the Amazon web site here.
In addition, Karl Krayer will present a bonus program on the biography of Walter Cronkite: Cronkite, by Douglas Brinkley. This will immediately follow our regular event.
Here is a flier – click on it for a full view, take a good look, and mark your calendar. (You will be able to register for this event thorough the home page of this web site soon).
And, invite a friend or two… Future Can Be Better, And You Have Great Control Over Your Future – 9 Lessons from David Brooks
I caught the Fareed Zakaria interview with David Books this past Sunday. Zakaria is a terrific writer, and an equally effective interviewer. David Books is… well, he’s David Brooks. The “conservative/right of center” columnist for the New York Times, author of Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There (which I presented way back at the July, 2000 First Friday Book Synopsis), his new book is The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement. It is in my “to read” list, and I have read through the free sample portion from iBooks on my iPad. There were some real gems in the interview. (You can read the transcript here). Here are some excerpts:
• On creativity and innovation – Brooks:
…that’s actually what creativity and innovation is, merging two things to create a third thing.
• On traits of the most financially successful people – Brooks:.
• On individualism and optimism – Brooks:.
• On President Obama:
ZAKARIA: — politically. Is he (President Obama).
• on the “soft” (think “soft skills”) – Brooks:
My argument is the soft leads to the hard. So if you want to really do well in business, say, make a lot of money, you really have to understand people and it’s through the emotions you do that.
• On morality and fairness – Brooks:
.
• On honest self-evaluation – Brooks:.
The lessons (my list — from the interview):
• To be creative and innovative, we have to learn to merge two things to make a third thing.
• Groups that meet face to face are the most effective.
• Disciplined execution is all about doing the same thing over and over again in a reliable, predictable way. People who are good at this are “really into detail, execution, order.”
• Morality is about simple fairness – and you know if you are being fair, or not. (at least, you certainly should know!)
• The soft (think soft skills) matters greatly!
• Be authentic – and master the discipline of self-correction.
• Cultivate individualism – and, be genuinely optimistic (The future can be better!), while taking control of your own future.
• But, be honest and realistic in your self-evaluation.
• And, keep learning! (“soak up information” from those around you).
There’s a lot more in Brooks’ best-selling book, but this interview offered much!
Structural Shift vs. Cyclical Downturn (w/insight from Zakaria & Friedman) – Where will the Jobs Be? (ongoing series).
People who get paid a decent wage for skilled but routine work in manufacturing or services are getting squeezed by a pincer movement of technology and globalization.
(Thursday, Oct. 21, 2010, Time, Fareed Zakaria, How to Restore the American Dream)
———-
The news this morning in Dallas is not good. Home sales are down 30% (though prices are slightly up). And though our area is relatively healthy, there is a great sense of unrest in our city. Leaders of nonprofits see requests for basic human needs increasing significantly, and they are finding it harder and harder to raise needed funds. I run into people all the time who are “in transition.” They are looking for a job – increasingly, jobs that are very hard to find. Especially for the “middle-aged” among us. But, also, for the recent college graduates. And older folks, who thought they were about to retire – and can’t.
No group seems immune from the sense of unrest.
I recently spoke to a very sharp group of current MBA students. More than one has a “job lined up” – a company that he/she is starting upon graduation. They might succeed. Or, they might not…
Recently, Brian Whetten posted The Death of Dilbert: Why Your Children Will Need to Love Their Jobs on The Huffington Post. He quotes from both Fareed Zakaria and Thomas Friedman, and he pulls it all together in a simple, clear way. Here’s a lengthy excerpt:
In Time Magazine, Fareed Zakaria pointed out that there are basically three types of jobs in America.
• Unskilled service jobs (such as waiter or security guard)
• Skilled, routine jobs (such as sales, office management and factory workers)
•.
As Thomas Friedman points think we are in the midst of, what the experts call, a structural shift in our economy. And we haven’t figured out just what to do about this.
As I have written quite a few times on this blog, this is the problem that keeps me awake at night: Where will people work? For all of us, we have to keep learning, to keep innovating, to keep being valuable to someone who will hire us, for a job that lasts a while, or assignments that come and go so quickly we barely have time to catch our breath. And for many, simply finding a job is becoming the survival challenge of the era.
