Lean for Frontline Supervisors
Facilitator: John Potkalitsky
The overall success of a Lean transformation depends on leadership, especially front-line supervision. Supervisors serve as the critical link between management and individual contributors in the workplace. They are in a key position to lead and create motivation. Most importantly, supervisors are expected to change the current culture into a culture of continuous improvement.
Despite these management expectations, many organizations give supervisors limited attention. Supervisors often manage more employees than anyone in the company, yet receive the least amount of training. Further, it's not enough to just include supervisors in training. The Lean training should be designed specifically for supervisors.
This one-day workshop focuses on the fundamental challenges that you as a supervisor face in leading a Lean culture change. Addressed from a supervisor perspective, you will learn how to use practical Lean tools and techniques in enough detail that you can begin immediately to apply them in your everyday work. Also included is an overview of the "softer skills" needed to create and sustain successful change.
Times available:
- Tues., Dec. 9, 2014; 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Twinsburg - $295
- Thurs., May 7, 2015; 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Twinsburg - $295

Placerville community,
On behalf of the El Dorado High School football team, I would like to thank you all very much. Our success this past season is a reflection of the awesome support you have shown us.
First off, on our playoff day, our boys got a strong, spirited send off by our ASB students on campus.
The Friday Placerville Police Department escort and downtown parade prior to our playoff game was fantastic, as merchants, parents and fans lined the sidewalks with encouraging cheering, claps, El Dorado flags and blue/white balloons. The energy was electric and there was a strong sense of community in the air.
We appreciated the EDHS administration and the EDUHSD transportation department, and want to give a shout out to Greg Danker for organizing the day's events. We are also immensely grateful to all who donated financial contributions to support our student athletes in the football program. From banner and program sales to the roaring Friday night crowds at our stadium, kids are successful when they stay connected.
Again, thank you Placerville and the surrounding communities for helping connect these young men. Thanks for all your support, we look forward to doing it again and again in the near future.
Go Cougars!
EDHS Head Football Coach and Athletic Director

Sharing farms won't work, says FF PlusComment on this story
Johannesburg - The idea of giving farm workers half of the land they work on is ill-considered, the Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) said on Monday.
Spokesman Pieter Mulder said the proposal would not resolve the land reform problems in the country but would instead destroy food security in the country.
"The proposal of Minister Gugile Nkwinti and the department of rural development and land reform that commercial farmers should give half of their farms to their workers is unworkable and ill-considered," Mulder said.
"When studying the proposals closely, it becomes clear that it originates from a minister and a department which has no understanding of the intricacies of modern commercial farming."
Rapport reported on Sunday that it was in possession of a document named "Final Police Proposals for Strengthening the Relative Rights of People Working the Land" which had been discussed with agricultural organisations.
The newspaper claimed that the proposal meant expropriating half of every commercial farm in the country and handing it over to farm workers.
Mulder said he did not know of any structure or government forum which had discussed the proposal or approved it.
"Black and white commercial farmers need certainty about property rights to their land to obtain loans in order for them to farm profitably. This plan takes this certainty away."
According to Rapport, the historic farm owners would retain half of their farms and the state would pay for the 50 percent taken for the workers.
The money would not be paid to the farm owners but into a trust aimed at investing and developing the farm for all its shareholders.

When someone asks me where the best place to eat Mexican food in Toronto is I always respond with a long winded answer. If you are looking for a cheap eats experience El Trompo in Kensington Market serves up the best classic Mexican Street Food. Milagro is the place you want to be if you are looking for a fine dining experience with an articulated vibe and menu that emphasizes regional Mexican specialties.
My father was in town for a medical conference and decided to take me out for dinner before I flew away to Latin America for the month of December. I made my reservation via twitter and received exemplary service from all of the restaurants enthusiastic staff. At the end of our dinner the manager graced our table with an offer of $18 a glass tequila and a fantastic Mexican dessert. Sweet drunk finish.

My heart pummels for a thousand miles,
Every time I see your smile.
Let's leave this place forever,
Let's leave this place together.
Let me take you where I can look,
Into your beautiful eyes,
I'd rather look there,
Than the Heaven's in the skies.
I feel a shiver run down my spine,
Can you believe it's just from those eyes?
I hear the beating in your chest,
A pulse that puts my fears to rest.
I pull away from a good-bye hug,
The feeling intoxicating me like a drug.
We part until next time as friends do,
But you don't know that I never stop thinking of you.
I'll be here forever and always.
I'm your friend,
Can't you see?
Even though I want more,
That's all we'll ever be.

Many regular readers will know I love taking food tours wherever I go and that food tours in Paris are amongst my favourites! Last summer, I was excited to check out a couple of newcomers to the Paris walking tour scene – like Localers, whose Paris tour offerings are so varied you'll want to take […]
A food tour by the Canal St Martin (Paris) with Localers
Learning to make mille feuille at La Cuisine Paris
It started with butter. A lot of butter… After a few summers of taking classes at La Cuisine Paris, I'm never surprised to see how much butter is used in their baking classes. Because all great pastries begin with butter, right? What is amusing, however, is watching other people's reactions to the amount of butter […]
A tour of the Marché d'Aligre (Paris) with Context Paris
Longtime readers won't be surprised to see another Paris food tour here on the blog – many of you know food tours are something I actively seek out wherever I go. I'm a huge fan of Context tours because they offer something a little different – claiming to be "committed to the character of the city", […]
A cheese and wine workshop at La Cuisine Paris
France. Cheese. Wine. Sounds like the perfect combination, right? But have you ever stood in a wine or cheese store in France and been so overwhelmed that you simply don't know what to choose? There are something like 400+ cheeses (and wines???) in France so choosing one can be challenging especially if you don't know […]
Afternoon Tea at Le Royal Monceau (Raffles, Paris)
It's not everyday one receives an invitation to "tea at Raffles, Paris" so when Carol from Paris Breakfasts wondered whether I might like to join her one sunny Wednesday afternoon last month, I jumped at the chance! Le Royal Monceau (Raffles, Paris) is a gorgeous building – as soon as you enter the lobby, you're […]
Treasure hunt at the Louvre (THATLou)
The Louvre. Been there – done that? Well if you think you've "done the Louvre" (and therefore don't need to do it again like, ahem, *some* people – that would be me!), think again! Last month, after a long time of observing from a distance (online) I finally got to check out the Louvre in […]

CARLSBAD >> It was one week ago Friday that fireworks vendors in Carlsbad were legally able to open their stands.
In the traditional area at the corner of Lea Street and Standpipe Road, the vendors and their brightly colored wares are set up in a variety of structures. The tents and wooden sheds block the direct sun, but that's about it. The wind and the heat are not so easily prevented.
"When it starts cooling, people come," observed vendor Jayden Jenkins.
A few yards off the road, he has a large white tent, and on the other side of Standpipe Road, he has a yellow stand with loud red letters inviting customers to buy TNT fireworks. Jenkins has an identical TNT stand on the other side of town, out in the La Huerta area. and he does indeed expect cooler evenings to bring out more fireworks shoppers.
Another vendor, in a stand facing Lea Street but a little way off the road, sells Mr. W fireworks. The iconic billboard of Mr. W. as a giant gorilla has been attracting fireworks fans for many years.
Or maybe we should say fireworks families. Aside from the fourth structure that houses Amy's fireworks, the other vendors are strictly family businesses.
At Mr. W., Lynette Bendixsen depends on several of her adult children to help her mind the store where she has sold fireworks for 22 years.
Jenkins took over the business from his father about three years ago, after his dad sold fireworks for 37 years.
Jenkins hires college-age friends to help him out each year, and on a busy night, there may be 10 customers lined up in front of every clerk — and there will be five or six clerks.
He has regular customers, like the business owner who spends several thousand dollars on a nice fireworks show for his employees.

|Three-dimensional cell growth confers radioresistance by chromatin density modification.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20442295 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Cell shape and architecture are determined by cell-extracellular matrix interactions and have profound effects on cellular behavior, chromatin condensation, and tumor cell resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. To evaluate the role of chromatin condensation for radiation cell survival, tumor cells grown in three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures as xenografts and monolayer cell cultures were compared. Here, we show that increased levels of heterochromatin in 3D cell cultures characterized by histone H3 deacetylation and induced heterochromatin protein 1alpha expression result in increased radiation survival and reduced numbers of DNA double strand breaks (DSB) and lethal chromosome aberrations. Intriguingly, euchromatin to heterochromatin-associated DSBs were equally distributed in irradiated 3D cell cultures and xenograft tumors, whereas irradiated monolayer cultures showed a 2:1 euchromatin to heterochromatin DSB distribution. Depletion of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1/2/4 or application of the class I/II pharmacologic HDAC inhibitor LBH589 induced moderate or strong chromatin decondensation, respectively, which was translated into cell line-dependent radiosensitization and, in case of LBH589, into an increased number of DSBs. Neither growth conditions nor HDAC modifications significantly affected the radiation-induced phosphorylation of the important DNA repair protein ataxia telangiectasia mutated. Our data show an interrelation between cell morphology and cellular radiosensitivity essentially based on chromatin organization. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which chromatin structure influences the processing of radiation-induced DNA lesions is of high relevance for normal tissue protection and optimization of cancer therapy.

Irondale girls hockey gearing up for the post-season
With only five teams left in the North Suburban Conference this season, the Irondale High School girls hockey team had plenty of room on its schedule for non-conference games. The Knights ended up with some challenging contests outside of league play and they're hoping that hard work pays off when the playoffs begin next month.
The regular season is down to just two weeks left and the Knights are using their final games to get into post-season mode.
"The girls are hungry," said Irondale head coach Tom Rodefeld. "I don't know what that's going to end up being but the fact that they're not happy where they're at right now and they want to add more wrinkles, do more things, bodes well potentially."
The Knights were a surprise team last year when they won the Section 5AA championship as the sixth seed. This year's team isn't flying under the radar quite as much. In last week's Class AA state rankings by Let's Play Hockey, Irondale was 10th.
Irondale beat Totino-Grace and St. Louis Park last week to run its overall record to 16-5. The five losses have all come against ranked teams (Wayzata, Hopkins and Benilde-St. Margaret's in Class AA and Blake and Totino-Grace in Class A). The three Class AA teams Irondale has lost to were all ranked in the top four last week.
The loss to Totino-Grace at the beginning of December was the beginning of a new way of looking at this final season in the North Suburban Conference.
"We talked today before the game and we said Totino is a great team but tonight your competition's not Totino," Rodefeld said following Irondale's 5-0 win over the Eagles last week. "It's yourself. How good can this team become in the last three weeks? That's kind of been our battle cry since Totino beat us in December."
In the return engagement with Totino last week, Irondale made sure there would be no repeat of what happened in the first meeting. Seniors Samanatha Donovan and Alex Toupal scored twice each in the first period as the Knights bombarded Eagles goaltender Logan Knip with 15 shots.
Toupal completed the pure hat trick with a second-period tally and after that Irondale put it on cruise control. The Knights' Anna Pate needed to make only 12 saves to pick up her fifth shutout of the season.
"A month ago we were unable to finish a game against them," said Rodefeld. "Tonight we were able to play three periods against them."
Donovan and Toupal are having dominating seasons. Donovan, playing her sixth season of varsity hockey before taking her talents to Brown University of the Ivy League next season, leads the team in goals and assists and is in the top 10 in the state in both categories. Toupal is second on the team in both goals and assists.
With the likes of Donovan and Toupal leading the offense, it's not too much of a surprise that Irondale is performing the way it is. Rodefeld said it took a while for the team to buy into the notion that it could be this successful.
"I think the holiday tournament is where our girls started believing in themselves," Rodefeld said. "With Sam Donovan, Alex Toupal, some of the other veterans, they knew they would be good this year but I don't know if they believed they could be this good or as good as they're going to be."
Over the holiday break, Irondale participated in the always-tough Edina tournament and knocked off the fifth-ranked Hornets and Warroad, which is ranked seventh in Class A, before losing a one-goal game to top-ranked Hopkins in the championship game.
"That holiday tournament, there was no place hide; you were going to play good teams," said Rodefeld. "They stepped up to that challenge and we were so very proud of them."
Since that tournament, Irondale is 5-1 with the only blemish being a loss to Benilde-St. Margaret's.
Remaining games on the schedule for Irondale are against Centennial, which is a section opponent; Spring Lake Park/St. Anthony Village, a conference foe; Achiever Academy, a top-five team in Class A; and a return shot at Benilde.
After that, Irondale sets about the task of defending its section title from a year ago. Blaine (16-3-2) and Mounds View (12-6-3) appear to be the Knights' stiffest competition.
Mounds View
The Mustangs maintained their hold on first place in the Suburban East Conference standings with a pair of victories last week. Mounds View is the defending SEC champion and looking to make it back-to-back titles.
Mounds View enters the final two weeks of the regular season holding a three-point lead over second-place Cretin-Derham Hall and a four-point cushion over Stillwater. The Mustangs have played one more conference game than Cretin and Stillwater.
Cretin and Stillwater are the only SEC teams to have beaten the Mustangs this season. The other seven teams in the conference have been mathematically eliminated from the title race.
Mounds View controls its own destiny with three games to play. If they win out, the Mustangs will win the conference championship outright while two wins and a tie assure them of no worse than a share of the title.
The Mustangs close out the conference season with games against East Ridge, Hastings and White Bear Lake. Mounds View beat East Ridge and Hastings the first time through the schedule and skated to an overtime tie against White Bear.
Even though the White Bear is in eighth place in the standings, it always manages to give Mounds View fits. The Bears wound up in ninth place in the SEC last year but were responsible for Mounds View's only conference loss and also tied the Mustangs.
Prior to embarking on the final leg of the conference schedule, Mounds View faces possibly its toughest opponent of the season when third-ranked Benilde-St. Margaret's pays a visit to the Super Rink on Tuesday. The Red Knights enter the game riding a 13-game winning streak and have lost just once all season.
Mounds View returns to Suburban East Conference play with a Saturday afternoon home game against a physical East Ridge team that dumped Roseville in overtime last Friday. The Raptors are coached by former Minnesota Wild player Wes Walz and its roster includes Walz' daughter Jaedyn and Braeden Yeo, the daughter of current Wild head coach Mike Yeo.
The Mustangs maintained their hold on first place by beating Forest Lake and Woodbury last week. Mounds View edged the Rangers 2-0 on second-period goals by Cristi Oliver and Sydney Brodt.
Brodt's goal came shorthanded during a 5-on-3 Forest Lake power play.
Mary Dingman made 17 saves to record the shutout in net for the Mustangs.
Mounds View followed up the Forest Lake victory with an 8-2 pasting of Woodbury on Saturday. Nine different Mustangs recorded a point and Brodt led the way with five (two goals, three assists). Bella Sutton (three assists), Bailey Thompson (two goals, one assist) and Kristen Cash (one goal, two assists) added three points each while Emmy Michaelson and Sara Moen had two points apiece.
Paige Kittelson made 16 saves to record the victory.

Macy's Inc. is cutting 2,500 jobs as part of a reorganization to sustain its profitability.
The announcement comes on the heels of a strong holiday shopping season for the department store chain.
Macy's said Wednesday that it will reassign or transfer some workers and add some positions, leaving its workforce level at about 175,000.
The Cincinnati-based company plans to close five stores and open eight others, leaving it with 844 stores nationwide once the changes are complete.
Macy's says the moves will save it $100 million per year and forecast a 2014 profit above Wall Street's forecasts.
The news sent its shares up 5.5 percent in after-hours trading.
Macy's layoffs will result from a reorganization of the chain's regional structure, the elimination of some district planner roles and cuts in some store positions and administrative expenses.
Changes planned at Macy's are expected to save an estimated $100 million per year, the company said. The company will close stores in Mesa, Ariz.; Overland Park, Kan.; Florissant, Mo.; Irondequoit, N.Y.; and Murray, Utah. Including planned new stores, the company will operate 844 stores under the Macy's and Bloomingdale's banners.
Macy's in West Manchester Township
Locally, the Macy's in West Manchester Township is part of a proposed redevelopment of the West Manchester Mall.
In November, Tony Ruggeri of Texas-based M&R investors appealed to the York County Commissioners for a tax increment financing program that would help fund the revitalization of the Loucks Road property his partnership bought in 2012 for $17.5 million.
The plan would, for a period of time, allow real estate taxes on the improved center to be used to pay off infrastructure additions to the site, including a new mall entrance off Carlisle Road.
All taxing entities must approve of the plan before it can become reality.
So far, the document has been approved by both York County Commissioners and West York Area School District.
In West Manchester Township, a public hearing was held Dec. 30 on the issue. No one attended to speak on the issue, Kelly Kelch, township manager, said.
The final step in the process, supervisors will vote on the proposal Jan. 23, he added.

Each of your car's cylinders has a spark plug. This component is basically a plug with electrodes where sparks jump in order to ignite the mixture or air and fuel fed to the engine. Without your spark plugs, your car would not run even it has a full tank of gas. Of course, the spark plugs only start to produce those sparks once the ignition key is turned on. A problematic spark plug will make an engine stall, be sluggish, and lose momentum when running. So, before you get annoyed with the low performance of your engine, replace your old spark plugs first with those from E3. But before buying its product, let us first see what it has got.
- Direct-fit
- With copper electrode core
- With nickel electrode tip
- Resistor type
- With 18mm reach size, 14mm thread size, and 1.016mm gap size
- Comes with a five-year or 100,000-mile E3 limited warranty
We tested this component on a 2006 Pontiac GTO and a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, and here is what we have to say:
Thumbs up
- The product generally had a good appearance. The tip was clean, the gap seemed appropriate, and the material used was of good quality.
- Installing the product was done without any hassle. We finished the entire procedure in less than forty-five minutes for the GTO.
- We ran the GTO for thirty minutes around town to check for any improvement in performance. The vehicle had a good, quick start. We noticed a stronger torque, especially when approaching inclines. Also, idle and acceleration became smoother, if not the same. The changes were actually very minimal on these departments. When it came to fuel economy, the GTO ran for longer miles with every quarter of a gallon of gasoline. Emissions were also better.
- After the drive with the GTO, we checked the condition of the spark plugs. The electrodes had no ashy and oily deposits on them.
Thumbs down
- This spark plug had a heat range that was hotter than what was required for the FJ Cruiser. The manufacturer said that it would fit the said vehicle, though. We took the components off of the cylinders of the FJ Cruiser after smelling something strong out of the engine seconds after we hit the ignition.
The verdict
This spark plug is actually very affordable apiece. With a handsome warranty to boot, this E3 spark plug is definitely a good one to try. Just make sure that your unit is appropriate to the make, model, and year of your vehicle in order to prevent damaging your engine and voiding your warranty.

Interesting that Kon-Tiki made that list. Echoes of Hagoth?? I think I read it when I was about 12. Does that make me a "Special Interest"?
And Catherine Drinker Bowen also made an appearance. I suppose they might have added her "Miracle at Philadelphia" if they'd had a time machine to travel up to 1966 when it was published.

Or, if reading W. Cleon Skousen doesn't enrich you, it will at least enrich Deseret Book and W. Cleon himself.

What a lame article. Nothing but a weak rehash of similar such articles I can find on Google in under .005 seconds.
agreed. "do your research first before job interview" is hardly worth saying anymore.
The title would imply that the interviewer would embark on a series of questions regarding the challenges of interviewing oversees, adjusting to new cultures, working through language barriers, etc. Instead the interviewer ask a series of unrelated travel tip questions..... this was a horribly missed opportunity to gain some real insight from a veteran! Kristiano Ang needed to ask Deb Loveridge questions that would help to ease the tensions for job seekers traveling oversees for the first time. TripAdvisor can tell you how to get there and where to stay for cheap. I don't mean to be disrespectful, I just hope Kristiano grows from this.

Intel Atom chips enroute with support for DDR3 RAM
updated 05:00 pm EST, Tue February 2, 2010
Intel to add DDR3 support to two new Atom CPUs
An unconfirmed rumor maintains Intel will soon release two new updated Pine Trail Intel Atom chips, the Atom N475 and N455. The former has a 1.83GHz clock speed while the latter retains the common 1.6GHz rating, and both get DDR3 RAM support, which is a first for the Atom range.
Otherwise, the chips keep the TDP ratings of those they are based on, with the N455's 5.5W TDP and the N475's 6.5W. A range of netbooks with the new chips is expected near the end of the year, as the chips are scheduled to begin shipping in the fall. [via Fudzilla]

The aim of the project is to document apparent changes in subsistence patterns observed at around 13,000 years ago and marked by a major sedimentary boundary in a number of caves in Morocco. This will be the first systematic study of the lifestyles of Iberomaurusian foragers in the Maghreb and investigations will focus on Taforalt Cave, one of the richest Epipalaeolithic cemeteries in North Africa.
My role in this project is assess changes in human mobility, health and diet from skeletal material from Taforalt and other contemporaneous sites in North West Africa.
In general my research interest is human evolution, with a focus on modern human diversity and the emergence, evolution, and disappearance of Neanderthals, and the related question of the origins of anatomically and behaviorally modern humans. Currently, my research focuses on two topics: 1) studying differences in post-cranial morphology between modern human populations and the influences of climate, activity and heredity; and 2) applying models based on modern human diversity in order to contextualise the differences observed between Neanderthals and early modern humans. Through my research into post-cranial anatomy, I am also interested in the ontogeny of human skeletal diversity and the relationships between activity, environment and growth patterns.

Jennifer Kahnweiler, Ph.D., is the author of The Introverted Leader: Building on Your Quiet Strength and the founder of AboutYOU, a career and leadership consulting company. Smartbrief recently asked Kahnweiler questions about the challenges and advantages of being an introvert. An edited version of her responses follows.
Why do introverts often get overlooked in the workplace?
According to my research—a two-and-a-half-year national study— introverts are routinely ignored, overlooked and misunderstood at work. The good news? When introverts confront their key challenges, they can learn to manage them. The top three:
- Project overload. Introverts tend to have difficulty saying no and find it equally hard to ask for help or direction. As a result, they frequently feel overloaded with projects and deadlines—hurting their on-the-job performance.
- Underselling. Introverts typically stay mum about their accomplishments—seeming to abide by the old Southern adage, "Don't brag on yourself." Yet today careers are made or broken by what others know about a person's skills and potential. Introverts, therefore, regularly miss out simply because they don't sell themselves.
- Failure to "play the game." Introverts inherently retreat from office politics. Sure, politics can be nasty, but much of the game is natural and necessary, particularly for building relationships up and down an organization. Introverts, with their desire to be low-key, often fail to sniff out important politicking opportunities and wind up watching their extroverted colleagues get ahead.
What are some ways that an introvert can leverage his or her disposition?
Entertainer Victor Borge said, "A smile is the shortest distance between two people." As an introvert, you can overcome perceptions of being standoffish or too serious by smiling, laughing, and letting your humor come out. Also, ask great questions (being an introvert, you already know how to listen and learn from the answers), use your depth to help engage and connect with people, and show your smarts by contributing earlier in meetings and conference calls.
How can social networks help an introverted person?
Social networking Web sites let your fingers do the talking—allowing you to communicate with people how you want to, when you want to. You can prepare for first-time meetings, send helpful "news you can use" items, and warm up cold leads—all in a low-key, yet friendly way. You can also create an online "brand" that has a wide reach.

Sam, this is a great post. I refer to these employees as Avoiders: Quiet and reserved, Avoiders are the wallflowers of the world. They create warm, cozy nest-like environments and prefer to work alone. They fear taking initiative, and shun increased responsibility because of the attendant visibility and accountability. They'll do precisely what they're told – no more, it's true, but no less either. Avoiders will sacrifice money, position, growth and new opportunities for the safety of status quo.
Motivating the Avoider requires that you always provide detailed instructions, in which the Avoider will find safety, and don't expect to be successful in pushing this fear-based individual toward increased responsibility. Value and validate your Avoider for their reliability, for their meticulous attention to your instructions, and for getting the job done right the first time, every time.

Fear-based avoiders who take no initiative? Such a gross negative generalization of introverts is ridiculous and just plain inaccurate. I could easily be described as reserved, but I go above and beyond to take on new challenges and fight, rather than revel in, the status quo. The difference is, I don't run around telling everybody what all I do because I seek neither attention nor approval. That hurts me in the workplace, and it hurts me in interviews because I hate talking about myself.
The notion that anyone who is quiet shuns responsibility and accountability brings to mind an old quote, "He who speaks loudest knows least." But that would be lumping all extroverts into the same category, and I can at least recognize that a few ignorant loudmouths don't make every talkative person a moron.
Wow. I am clearly an "I" and you have not described me at all. The three things listed on this blog describe me very accurately in that I hate office politics, "blowing my own horn" , and the inability of saying no. I prefer to work alone and do not like to ask fo help. I have however, been in leadership positions most of my career(s) – I have retired once. I welcome responsibility (remember I can't say no) and go the extra mile. I am also proactive in my job and seek out new things and new growth and have grown the units while I was in charge. While the MBTI is a wonderful tool, it is just that; a tool. We should all be careful not to use the typology as a mold that everyone has to fit in; but more of type indicator- I think that is what the last two letters stand for…
Even though we hate to admit it, whether you're a extro or intro you do have to "participate" in the game and not sit on the sidelines. It's about giving people a reason to look at you, otherwise they won't!
I'm a clear extrovert but I share these same challenges. Are these really a function of someone's preference for introversion or is it more related to their level of assertiveness in workplace situations? I don't think the two are necessarily linked and if they are there is a lot more to consider than E vs. I preferences. MBTI explains quite a bit about our personalities but not everything.
I'm not often moved to comment on posts, but for some reason this one affected me. First off, I'm an E, and while I agree with much of the article, I believe that strong organizations capitalize on the strengths of their employees (e or i). I don't think that introverts need to "play the game" I think that leadership should equalize the game. While that might sound a bit like a utopia, the bottom line is that organizations are missing out, if they don't take time to engage and listen to those softer voices. I guess that's what hit me with this post because it assumes the responsibility is on the introvert in this leadership blog.
On the flipside, most people don't work for such organizations, and identifying your weakness and playing up your strengths is something everyone should do, whether introvert or extrovert.
Jeff – I am glad you took the time to comment. The corporate landscape is slowly changing and recognizing the assets introverted pros bring forth. I think it is fine to go for a "utopia." especially having a vision where all our unique strengths are capitalized.
My suggestions come from years of coaching and training introverted types who ask me for tools, in order to flex to their extroverted cultures. My contention is that it is sometimes small changes in behavior that shape perceptions; and that is both on the I and E sides of the table.
Great points. Sometimes it seems like introverts get advice that can boiled down to "stop being so introverted" and can easily be heard as, "stop being yourself." So, introverts need to stay introverted, but learn how to use their natural ability, whatever it is. If they are good at office politics (many actually are, despite their quiet demeanor) then they should "play the game." It doubtful that they need much encouragement to do so. Being one's real self is the ultimate strength.
You hit the nail on the head with how the advice comes across; it's the equivalent of demanding that the talkative people all shut up. You can be the best version of yourself, but you just can't change your personality. The idea that only the monopolizing voices have something of value to contribute is a sore mistake on the part of leadership. If the people in charge don't reign in some of the strong personalities, they can easily lose out on the talents of quieter team members.
There are people who talk for the sake of talking, and others who talk because they have something to say. It's confusing that a person's ability to fill up the silence renders them some sort of genius in our society; it doesn't so much matter what you say, so long as you're saying something.
When coaching family/friends with " I" challenges, these observations will come in handy. All personalities have to learn how to best adapt to their environments and adopt cultural norms.
Interesting post. One of the top challenges facing all of us today is filtering of information. I think this may favour the introvert brain: it is practised and accomplished in creating order, structure and prioritizing – and less likely to dash off on to many tangents on twitter. Data on I and E preferences amongst business leaders shows slightly more Is. Not surprising given this strategic thinking advantage!
Playing the game is important in every situation…however, you must use caution and understand that the game is just that…a game. If played well, you will win many times, but not always. Sometimes lady luck will find a winner who just plays average or even poorly. Dont' take the game too seriously or you will replace your true self with the mask worn to work each day and fail to see that there is so much more to life…work is just a vechile to take you to that.
Good point, techsan. I have found that communication between ee's and managers needs to be consistent; especially one on one meetings. Too often, as you say, the natural flow of feedback, status updates and changes doesn't happen. Introverted leaders have told me that when they take the initiative in sharing information and don't wait to be asked for updates they increase their credibility.
1, 2, 3, bing-bang-boom! All 3 ring dead-on for me. I despise "the game." When I first entered school systems, I failed to realize I even WAS playing a game; later I realized that you're always playing, whether you want to or not. And then I quit the game. The very idea of re-entry, of the energy I would have to conjure to successfully fake my way through the game again, literally makes me sick with anxiety.
It's not an introvert's world, and nobody else is going to change to make it easier on us. Yeah, it would be awesome if the higher ups ranked employees on their job performance instead of personality, but instead the natural salespeople who run their mouths the best are showered with rewards, because they're bubbly or fun or likable. Their work might be crap, but who cares.
Maybe some introverts attempt to play the game by building strong relationships in a genuine fashion, whereas other personality types may excel in strategically building their network in a manipulative fashion to get ahead? Such a turnoff for introverts. Then there are others who simply don't care whether anybody likes them or not.
Please take a chill pill! Stop worrying about the "world" being Extraverted or Introverted, understand who you are, what you like and dislike and stop thinking that us "natural salespeople" RUN our mouths and are showered with rewards. It seems to me your displeasure is with those in management or "higher ups" and not with an extravert who may be very good at his or her job. If you think sales are easy because all it takes is a big mouth you're wrong! Successful salespeople know when to listen, offer solutions to client problems and close deals. Do they get rewards? Of course they do, it pays the bills and supports their family. After 40 years of being an extraverted sales professional let me say that some of the most successful sales people I've competed against are Introverts and have risen to the CEO level and they know how to work with personalities of all kinds.
Come down off the ledge and enjoy life, you only get one shot at it.

Nice article, but I don't entirely agree with the part about social networks. Some introverted people may be interested in using these networks the way most extroverted people do, revealing a lot about what they are doing and thinking. But I think many will want to hold back from this "talking" behavior. I think introverted people will tend to use social networks for "listening"–that is, as research tools. The one example of listening that you mentioned, and it was a good one, was finding out about people before a first-time meeting. Postings and profile entries on a social network site can reveal the talker's interests and thus provide the introverted listener with fodder for small talk or ice-breaking topics of conversation.
Being an introvert myself, I could really relate to your article. Naturally also, I would prefer to go to the dentist rather than have to interact in a room full of strange people. It's not that I'm afraid, I just have my mind made up to be uncomfortable. I believe this type of hang-up requires a lot of practice in creating positive networking experiences. I did find some free informational tools that could be of help. Take a look at: http://relationshipcapital.co/op/?utm_src=bl

Enough with the "brand" stuff. Nobody aspires to be a brand.
I must say one thing about the article that is definitely true is the part about the office politics. I hate office politics, it's distasteful, impolite and annoying ..why, why must we have to act like an animal licking up crumbs on the floor to get a pay check when we're already working hard, why can't work be about work. It's bad enough that we spend so much of our life at work with little break before we die. Why do we have to lower our ethics or suffer at the hand of office bullies flushing our heads in a hypothetical toilet everyday I hate office politic. I just wish I could find a job were you could just work and go home without the brown nosing, gossip, popularity high school crap. But unfortunately it's reality, I just can't do it, arrrr and as a result I'm always getting wedge's and my head flushed down the hypothetical toilet. Bullies and harassment follows me in almost every job, and ironically I'm working harder than the bullies and the brown nosers only I'm not the one with the respect or the one with any pleasure in the job. Oh and the laughing and smiling thing is bull crap, if you are female smiling only attracts more lazy, do my homework for me people and no one takes you seriously if you smile/female. I think if you're introverted you should start your own business, that's a real solution.
ditto on your post…in the business world introverted females are often in no win situations…if you work hard focus and dont get in with the boy click then you are too intense, too serious and nobody will hang with you. If you laugh and smile it just feeds their already huge egos. Its about them at that point, NOT YOU, and it still gets YOU NOWHERE. As an attractive petite very well educated introvert I feel soooo alone very often at the workplace. People seem to see you thru the weirdest glasses. Some are itimidated, big women dont like you, guys think you are too intense blah blah blah…if you havent been thru this its almost impossible for us to try and explain it.

And if it's true that i shall put a book button, should I let someone update, or book an already booked record. Can someone (who have got Bodgitt and Scarper, LLC assignment) explain he/she understanding about what the GUI should provide. thanks, Itapaj� Takeguma
Originally posted by Itapaj� Takeguma: Good then, but, if I put a book button, I think I shall put a unbook button. I'm starting to think this: because the users are going to do just booking and unbooking, the users could just have book and search buttons and the stand alone version could allow for insert, delete and update, but the assignment says that we should use the same GUI to both: remote client and stand alone client. Oh, I have another question: the assinment says that when someone tries to lock a locked field, he has to wait. But if the client waits in the same thread, the client GUI gets stuck. my question is: has anyone passed with full point at the GUI leaving the GUI locked in these situations? Oh, one more point: does the GUI has to be "pretty"? my GUI is very ugly, functional, but ugly. thaks guys, Itapaj� Takeguma.

As I understand it, the examiners are looking for use of "standard" GUI features (menu bars / tool bars / accelerators), standard layouts, the ability to resize screens logically, and so on. Nothing too difficult. Regards, Andrew

Summer 2006 – At age 27, Tammy Figg was looking forward to marriage. But six weeks before her wedding date, she learned she had stage III colon cancer.
"Tammy started having some bloody stool and cramping and had noticed some changes in her bowel habits," says Benjamin Tan, MD, a medical oncologist at the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. "A colonoscopy showed that she had cancer in her rectum. After a CAT scan and a biopsy, it was confirmed that the cancer was localized and there was no metastasis anywhere else."
Surgery was performed to remove the tumor, but after the surgery, pathologists found that one of the lymph nodes was involved, and that changed the story for Figg. She was told that she needed intense chemotherapy and radiation, and it could leave her sterile.
"It was devastating because I always wanted to be a mom," Figg says. "And to have that concern that maybe I would never be able to have children…" But Tammy and her husband, Bryan, did their homework and quickly learned that they had options.
"She chose to go through IVF cycle," explains Valerie Ratts, MD, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. "We retrieved her eggs and fertilized them with her partner's sperm, then after her treatments, we placed the embryos in her uterus. It's a wonderful story."
Though Tammy had a less than 30 percent chance of getting pregnant, the couple's second attempt was successful. Last September, Ayden Figg came into the world.
"It's a miracle," Ratts says. The Figgs agree. "I still live with cancer every day, and I do worry, 'Is it going to come back? Am I going to see him graduate from high school and get married?' " explains Tammy. "But Ayden is my hope."
Tan emphasizes the importance of colorectal screening because when caught early, colorectal cancer can often be cured. "Even if you're young, if you have the signs of colon or rectal cancer, you should see a doctor and ask for a screening such as a colonoscopy," he says. "If Tammy had not gone through the screening, if she had ignored her symptoms and waited several more years, it probably would have been too late."
Now, thanks to advanced treatment and the expertise of specialists at the Siteman Cancer Center, Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, Tammy is looking forward to watching her son Ayden take his first steps.

John L. Ferrari, 87
BOURNE — John L. Ferrari, 87, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 8, 2012, at Falmouth Hospital surrounded by his family. John was born on February 3, 1925, in South Boston, son of the late Joseph and Adele (Danieli) Ferrari. John leaves his loving wife, Elba Vera (Uguccioni) Ferrari originally from Milford.
Along with his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Linda and her husband Peter Mueller, his son John and his wife Diane, and his brother Joseph and his wife Olga. He was predeceased by his daughter, Sandra. He was also the extremely proud grandfather of Jennifer, Ethan, Jack, Jeff and Julia and also relished in hearing about the accomplishments of his many nieces and nephews and their children. He was always being followed by his furry friends Zoe, Loki and Thor and this constant companionship could have been due to the endless supply of dog biscuits he kept in his sweater pockets for them.
John was a graduate of Northeastern University, where he obtained both an undergraduate and MBA, attending school in the evenings for twelve years. He loved learning and used his electronics engineering degree and talent as a manufacturer's sales representative to start two different companies. He was the president of New England Electronic Sales Corporation and then later of the John Ferrari Company. His success working in the sales field brought him much joy and the friendship of many fellow engineers. He was a familiar face at Raytheon and Lincoln Labs, and enjoyed many a lunch with Dr. An Wang of Wang Laboratories in the 1950s.
John was a proud veteran of World War II and supported our troops during the landing in Normandy. He took great delight in telling stories about how he never had a good sense of direction and yet he was assigned the role of leading supply trucks all over Europe. He also instilled in his children a somber respect for the price of democracy because he was one of the first troops to visit Dachau.
He lived the early part of his marriage in Medford, and then spent many happy years in Norwood and Dennis. In the summer months, he could often be found bartending at his mother-in-law's restaurant, Gina's House, or floating in the ocean at our beach with a cigar in his mouth "to keep the horseflies away." The last five years he called Bourne his home, but no matter where he lived, he always considered himself an old Southie boy at heart.
Funeral Services will be at the Nickerson-Bourne Funeral Home, 40 MacArthur Blvd, Bourne on Tuesday, December 11th at 2:30 p.m. and visiting hours will follow until 6 p.m.
Burial will be on Wednesday, December 12th at Blue Hills Cemetery, Braintree. Further information will be made available on line and during the services on Tuesday.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Jimmy Fund/Dana Farber Cancer Center, 10 Brookline Place West, 6th Floor, Brookline, MA 01760.

WACO, Texas - A state appeals court is hearing arguments on whether jurors about to deliberate a verdict in a capital murder case can find the defendant was a party to the death of a corrections officer and not just a conspirator.
Walker County prosecutors are appealing Monday to the 10th Court of Appeals in Waco the wording of the jury charge in the case of John Falk Jr. He's charged with capital murder in the 2007 death of Susan Canfield outside the Wynne Unit prison in Huntsville. She was fatally hurt during an escape attempt involving Falk and another inmate, Jerry Martin.
Final arguments in Falk's trial, moved to Bryan, have been stalled until the jury charge issue is resolved. Prosecutors want to seek the death penalty against Falk if he's convicted.
