Responsibility Starts with You
The Book: Stepping Up: How Taking Responsibility Changes Everything
Why Read It? When we take personal  responsibility for making positive changes, it makes our companies, communities, and the world better. But all too often, we stop ourselves before we start. The problem seems too daunting, it's another department's responsibility, other people are the issue and we can't change them, and so on. And, as a result, nothing ever changes.
With his distinctive mix of inspiring storytelling and practical advice, John Izzo compassionately demolishes the most typical excuses, helps us see a way through common roadblocks, and enables anyone, anywhere, anytime to effectively bring about positive change simply by stepping up.
Added bonus: Watch and share the new 3-minute Stepping Up Internet Movie and receive a free gift.

 Yes, that is Editorial Director Neal Maillet hugging a Christmas tree. And if our Editorial Director is hugging a Christmas tree, then it must mean the Annual BK Holiday Party is in full swing. BK staff gathered the week before Christmas for our yearly glutton-fest, and what's a company holiday party without some compromising photos? Okay, maybe they aren't quite scandalous, but they are entertaining. |

Title: Choosing the Higher Path
Author: Ram Nidumolu
Releases: Fall 2012
Synopsis: Many books have approached sustainability management from Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, and Judaic points of view, but no book has yet tackled the issue using the early Hindu traditions as depicted in the Upanishads. Ram is not only a high-level business academic and CEO, but also a Vedic scholar of Hindu classics, making him the ideal author for a work such as this.

 When you compose an email using Fuzzmail, all of your keystrokes are recorded (including deletions, rewordings, and changes). When the intended recipient receives your message, he or she is directed to a website where your message is displayed, complete with animation showing all the editing done prior to sending. What's the point? Is there more honest and authentic communication than this? Whether it shows the real anger or deep sentiment behind a controlled message, it reveals that you stepped up to your own missive and stand by what you say.

Last time, I issued this challenge. The first  correct answer came from Nancy Alexander. The answer can be found here.
And your next challenge can be found here.
Email me with any comments or rants as well as the commonly held belief that men really shouldn't write advice columns.
And if you enjoyed the challenge of hypnotizing chickens in the previous issue, I challenge you to last more than three minutes in this game.
Jeevan 
P.S. -- this isn't real, is it?
