Keller on the inadeqacy of foreign news reporting as major news organizations cut staff
11/03/2013
Without experienced foreign news reporters the news coverage of events in other countries suffers. With today's internet based media coverage there is a danger of too much information, and too few credible sources, and misinformation that lets the average reader come to the wrong conclusion. With news organizations losing money and cutting foreign news bureaus, too much of the world's important news events are covered by free lance journalists who take risks in difficult locations and are often poorly paid.

Honeywell's David Cote on decision-making and getting results the right way
11/02/2013
Useful reminders from David Cote on decision-making. He says its not about getting it right at the beginning of the meeting but by the end of the meeting. This is to emphasize that its a manager's job to get all the facts during the meeting- or several meetings- and then assess the situation for making a decision. Then no decision is final, it should be reassessed in 48-72 hours based on new information and reassessed afterwards for effectiveness based on new information and results. Getting results the right way is getting them with a discipline or process so that it can be repeated three years or five years from now.

Honeywellâs David Cote, on Decisiveness as a 2-Edged Sword
New York Times 11/02/13
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
