Things to say to stop arguments
- No kidding!
- Really!
- You might be right
- That's interesting
- Hmmm
- Wow
- I had no idea

- Thank you for telling me
- Oh?

Earlier I shared a small circle of gentlemen who make my life on G+ awesome.
Here is a much larger group (and growing) of wonderful women who make G+ awesome and who from time to time, take a moment to say hi to this virtual traveler.
You can't go wrong by adding this entire group to your circles.

+HP really got my attention today with this thought provoking article. With support from research by +Deloitte, +PwC and others, they pose this:
Technology has an impact on all aspects of our lives, but perhaps most dramatically on how we work. The way in which we create, collaborate and communicate in the workplace is much different than it was ten years ago. Globalization and changing workforce demographics are redefining what it means to work. How will the workplace change in years to come?

You might not recognize the workplace of the future
January 2013
Technology has an impact on all aspects of our lives, but perhaps most dramatically on how we work. The way in which we create, collaborate and communicate in the workplace is much different than it was ten years ago. Globalization and changing workforce demographics are redefining what it means to work. How will the workplace change in years to come?
Our Enterprise 20/20 community, an online collaboration of top executives, analysts, technologists and industry peers, began asking this question and the resulting discussion was so engaging that we turned it into a chapter in our crowd-sourced e-book, “Employee 20/20.” Here are some of the top-level predictions that emerged from our looking glass into the future of the workplace.
9-to-5 no more
A global marketplace demands constant attention. Enterprises in 2020 will need to be active 24/7 to keep up. Employees of the future will need to be able to do work anywhere, at anytime, to balance their jobs and their personal lives. Flexible work schedules will be the norm, as will globally disparate teams blending contract and full-time employees who collaborate remotely. Developing technologies such as virtualization, cloud services, and resource sharing will enable this working model.
Big corporate campuses will be a thing of the past
Corporate campuses are increasingly becoming deserted as employees ask to work elsewhere to achieve better work-life balance and companies look for ways to trim budgets and facilities footprints. A study by Deloitte [1] noted that between 30 and 40 percent of physical workspaces are vacant at any given moment of a traditional business day. That trend is expected to increase as we move toward the year 2020.
But the corporate office won’t totally disappear. A study conducted by Knoll [2] concluded that centralized offices will transition to collaboration centers for critical face-to-face interactions such as customer interactions, trainings, intensive work sessions, and social events.
The app-store will replace the corporate stack
Consumers already expect a certain amount of personalization with their electronic devices. And as workers become more accustomed to blending their professional and personal lives, they’ll need the ability to self-select the tools and levels of access that make their jobs easier.
It’s impractical for the IT department to customize each employee’s technology set up. To meet these expectations, the IT department of 2020 must adopt an app-store mentality, allowing employees to self-select from one central repository which apps they need to do their jobs effectively.
A focus on results over face time
In 2020, the idea that a productive employee is one who puts in a 40-hour workweek will no longer apply. According to Gartner, “the core value lies in non-routine processes, uniquely human, analytical or interactive contributions that result in words like ‘discovery, innovation, teaming, leading, selling and learning.’” [3]
The demands of a global marketplace, as well as workers’ increasing expectations of flexible work arrangements will force enterprises to define productivity based on what an employee accomplishes, rather than the number of hours logged behind a desk. The job of IT will be to provide the tools and infrastructure needed to increase productivity and collaboration so as to maximize the efforts of tomorrow’s employees.
Millenials will drive a new workplace culture
By 2020, Millenials, the newest generation of workers, will make up at least half of the workforce. Millenials are the first generation of truly connected digital natives, having grown up with broadband Internet access, PCs and mobile devices. And their expectations will be very different from those of previous generations.
According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers report, Millenials will expect to have varied careers, constant feedback from their employer, and speedy ascension through a company’s ranks. Job-hopping will be the standard career-management practice. To retain their best and brightest, enterprises will need to embrace employee-centric policies like ongoing training, social media technologies, and flexible work arrangements.

Top 500 Profiles of people who always have something beautiful to say. (Well, not always ...) There are two buckets in this circle. Those who interact with me all the time ... and those who I follow just because I think they are amazing.
You can't miss by adding these folks. Worst case, if any of them misbehave, you can uncircle, ignore, block, report, etc. Gosh, that sounds really harsh ... I really doubt any of these wonderful people will require such action.
Just add them. Most of them are truly amazing ... ;-)

I'd like to share a special circle with you. These folks are amazing most of the time. When they are not, you must be patient. They will be amazing very soon thereafter.
Enjoy!

I haven't shared this circle in quite a while ... 136 Awesome Gentlemen
Here are guys who reside in my inner circle. Given that I have about 2,000 guys in my circles, this is special, but in now way diminishes any dudes I may have left out.
These are the men who interact with me regularly and nourish my soul.
Thanks guys!

Men Are Just Happier People
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
NATURAL (loved this one. BC)
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humor and can handle it .... and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

This is why I am a fan of "pre-mortem" discussions before a project is undertaken and/or rolled out to production.
A pre-mortem is a session where stakeholders consider things that might go wrong. It could help prevent such outcomes as the one depicted below.
Something tells me that these guys went home late after installing the cast iron barriers.

As this +Business Insider article points out, +Mark Zuckerberg reminded an audience that a tablet is a computer ... not a uniquely mobile device. Laptops are mobile, iPads are mobile, etc.
I guess the key distinction might be cellular access in smartphones and higher end tablets (vs. laptops for the most part). However, WiFi access is available more places than not today.
I'll throw in my personal experience as a minuscule datapoint. I have a 7 inch Nexus 7 Android tablet, an iPod Touch, an iPhone, a Macbook Air, a Chromebook and a number of fixed computers at home. I take one or more of the tablets to work everyday, where WiFi is available, just like home. My usage? I'd say that I use a tablet in the house 75% of the time and the fixed computers 25% of the time. At work, it's exactly reversed: Macbook Air 75% and Tablet 25%.
Why? I think I know. Tablets are horrible to type on, even with bluetooth keyboards. I'm typing this on my Macbook Air. So, when the task at hand calls for creation (i.e. WORK), then the laptop wins. When the task at hand is web surfing, email checking and games, then the tablet is preferred.
We all know this, right? Do we need a chart to tell us? Probably not. But I will definitely use this one in a business slide deck soon. Then perhaps we can start treating tablets as computers, not mobile "devices."

This is Glaucus atlanticus, a sea slug found in tropical and temperate waters throughout the world. This photograph makes the rounds on Facebook every few months simply because it's so strangely beautiful.
However, no one ever mentions that this sea slug (like other sea slugs) is a total badass. Why, you ask? It eats incredibly venomous animals like the Portuguese Man o' War. The sting is agonizingly painful to a human and to most animals, but poses no problem to Glaucus atlanticus, which is immune. After the sea slug has consumed the Portuguese Man o' War it "selects" the most venomous cells for its own use. The slug then incorporates these cells into its own tissues, and uses them as a defense mechanism. It also concentrates the venom, making it far more venomous than the animal it "stole" the cells from.

I was very fortunate to be in a small audience of information technology executives who listened to +Keith Ferrazzi speak. In his book which he co-authored with +Tahl Raz, Never Eat Alone, he shares a four key principles for relationships:
Generosity
“Pay it forward” – commit to helping others
Ferrazzi calls this a “safe place to create relationships”
Vulnerability
Let your guard down
“Feerless friendship”
Take risks
Candor
Freedom to be honest with those you confide in
Share your dreams
Accountability
Follow through on your promises to others
Be open to critique and challenge

Taking road trips as we move into spring, and summer
Change is in the air. The weather is taking on a pleasant shine (for the most part, and for some of the country, here in the USA). Soon, everywhere we turn will be Pleasantville. It's that time again to pull out your dog-eared maps and guide books (or letting your fingers do some online walking) and ponder your next trip. Hitting the road, setting off on new adventures. So here's the question of the day:
Where will your next trip take you? Flying, driving, dusting off the camper or caravan, or even hitch-hiking: where are you going?
