And here I thought that leaders are leaders because of their accomplishments, knowledge, skill, experience, and tenacity. Come to find out if anyone with a nice smile and a sports blazer just “aligns work to strategic goals”, and put their employees in the right color of box, they will engage and innovate! This really can be so much easier!

Well the game world drama continues- hmm only time will tell what this meens: http://biz.yahoo.com/e/150702/atvi8-k.html In case others don't know: this has been a terrible year for Activision and Blizzard (Aka WOW, Heroes of the Storm, Destininy and of course Call of Duty.) Blizzard in 6 months has seen it's top Project Managers leave to Atari, and Bioware and 3 weeks ago Blizzards COO quit to go to a unknown competitor speculated to be Red Dawn (God of Wars) Activision's COO is rumoured to be quitting for Gearbox. (Borderlands series) As I don't know how many on Wedtech are gamers or Org Psych Wonks. I've been keeping tabs on this as I'm a gamer (so what) and into webdesign- Plus i'm curious what other peoples opinions are. Might be worth waching as a live case of complexity (kind of), how does this play out can the various people involved get the company back on track and if so how. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com -- Sent from Gmail Mobile
