Power Reading

On the CBS EVENING NEWS, Katie Couric asks candidates from both parties

which book, other than the Bible, they would bring with them to the White House and posits:

  • "It's true you can't judge a book by its cover,
  • but you can tell a lot about a person by what he or she reads."  

Find out what the candidates said on the CBS NEWS Web site.

 

Msnbc.com also put together an interactive map that enables drivers to plot a route

Tues-PM’s facilitated thinking environment “Neutral Ground” event at the bi-partisan Dole Institute of Politics were the “flip-side” of the Progressive (Republican) Party principles US President Teddy Roosevelt advocated when he last visited the Kaw Valley on 31-Aug-1910 …
See: http://www.desotoexplorer.com/weblogs/rjburkhart3/2010/aug/15/friends-of-dole-institute-kick-off/

Lower Kaw Valley decision traps I’ve observed (1959-2009) show a “plausible deniability” BIAS over initiating effective corrective actions:
[1] Academic, legal and scientific rhetoric tended to IGNORE or “neutralize” prior lessons learned about our safely navigating Spaceship Earth!
My UNODIR standing orders “passed down the line” by FADM William D. Leahy, USN are to uphold maritime law’s General Prudential Rule …

[2] When complex (man-made) regulations put any ship’s health, safety or environment in EXTREMIS, then a watch officer (watershed marshal) is pre-authorized (mandated) to initiate corrective actions that HELP reduce scope and/or duration of predictable adverse IMPACTS …
Review: http://fcw.com/articles/2006/03/20/the-federal-100-a-year-like-no-other.aspx (DIP Politics of Disaster Response/Recovery)

[3] Campus, community & corporate “social responsibility pathfinders” who exercise “fiscal responsibility” to their stakeholders are bound by the “prudent person principle” to perform assigned duties at a “competence level” that EQUALS (or exceeds) that of their professional peers. Otherwise, they are liable for civil/criminal negligence charges!

>>A lot of sailors felt the way Buehler did about destroyer duty. Lt. (jg) Jim Copeland, a Colorado man who joined the Navy on his way to becoming an architect and was the Maddox’s damage-control assistant in 1964, put it this way: “You find out very, very quickly how close-knit a destroyer can be, and how close quarters a destroyer can be. After a while you believe that it is the only Navy. You look around and you see the carriers and the cruisers and the lavish spaces, and the lack of shiphandling ability that these people have, and the abundance of experience that everyone gets on a destroyer. Everybody. At that point in my life there was no doubt that destroyers were the only ship to learn all you needed to know in the Navy.”

Ens. Noel Alien of Glendale, California, wanted a destroyer too. Graduating from the Naval Academy in 1964, Alien requested a ship that operated from Long Beach, which was close to his home. The Maddox was one. “I had spent two summer cruises on destroyer-type ships, and I loved ’em. I thought, This is it. I’m in hog heaven.”

The Maddox’s wartime complement was 22 officers and 300 enlisted seamen, petty officers, and chiefs. By 1964, howeyer, the ship had a reduced crew: 14 officers and 260 men. Fewer men, with more work for each.

The Maddox was attached to Destroyer Division 192. The division commodore was Capt. John J. Herrick. Herrick had grown up in Warren, Minnesota, and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1943. The Maddox’s commanding officer (CO) was Cdr. Herbert Ogier. The ship’s twelfth captain hailed from Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from Annapolis a year after Herrick. The men were friends; and both were World War II vets.<<

>>Lt. Bill Buehler joined the Maddox in 1962. He was the operations officer, second only to the executive officer and the captain. The son of a Navy officer, Buehler had earned his commission in 1956 through the NROTC at the University of Michigan. “From there I went to Maddox,” Buehler remembered. “I didn’t have a postgrad school, and I wasn’t really in track for destroyers. I had been on a DE [destroyer escort], but as an engineer officer, and on a bird farm [carrier] too, but that doesn’t count for anything, at least not with the surface people. So, even though I was hell on wheels in all those jobs, it was not really a command profile. But my boss at ASW [antisubmarine warfare] school talked to ’em, and so they sent me to a destroyer. I was not really a gung-ho CO motivated type; I had a different path to follow. But happily, Divine Providence was running the railroad, and it all worked out perfectly.” <<

Lessons NOT Learned ... Decision Traps and Framing Errors
<strong>RADM James B. Plehal</strong> (Director, FBI National Infrastructure Protection Center) challenged me to share prior "Lessons Learned" (1966-81) about Managing Without Authority (MWA) while prototyping complex adaptive group decision support systems:
<dd>
To limit USNI "gate-keeper" mutual interference, I launched a <a href="http://futurethought.pbworks.com/Modern-Social-Change-Theories">FutureThought Leadership Learning Collaboratory</a> to distill actionable insights (thinkLets).
<br/>
I may share this article with mid-career officers at US Army's Command & General Staff College (CGSC) to illustrate prevailing practices in leveraging <em>Implicit Association Test</em> (IAT) variances to sustain a bias in an organizational learning community of practice ...</dd>
