Focus

If multi-tasking
Is a skill we need, then so
Is single-tasking

In the zone

The right words arrive
At the right time: I relax
And go with the flow

The Secret Service

In Emotional
Intelligence the agents
Are licensed to feel

30/6/11

Disengagement

The opposite of
Love is not, it turns out, hate:
It’s indifference

30/6/11

Out of Office

The emails bounce back
Leaving me free to reflect
On what needs doing

Victory by better planning

Machiavelli's
Machiavellian prince:
No match for PRINCE 2


31/3/11

All in this together

Public bodies sit
In the lifeboat drawing lots
For who gets eaten


2/2/11

The gift of time

A cancelled meeting,
And suddenly shoulders lift
I sit back and smile


27/1/11

The dilemma of emergence

Success may look like
Failure in the middle, but
Then so does failure


22/12/10

Between a rock and a hard place

Fear, uncertainty, doubt
Make it hard to overcome
Fear, uncertainty, doubt

Martin Locock

Tomorrow is another day

Planning horizons,
Alas, rarely conceal a
Far happier dawn


1/9/10

Decisions, decisions

We face a stark choice:
Death or annihilation
Let us choose wisely

29/8/10

Actuarial report

Fourteen thousand days,
On average, left to me:
Try not to waste them

Psychological profiles

Some are limited
By their self doubt, and some by
Their self-confidence


4/7/10

Cog in the machine

Corporate culture:
If it is at fault, then it
Is partly my fault
