 <title>The Business Case for Business Technology Convergence</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/david-deans/business-technology-roundtable/business-case-business-technology-convergence</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The structured approach of Business Technology Management (BTM) is a proven methodology that seeks to unify business and technology decision-making at every level within a company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally conceived to address the needs of large enterprises, there are now very apparent benefits for both small and medium sized businesses. Let&#039;s consider the growing body of evidence that supports that business case.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Who is the better change leader: Obama or McCain?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/seth-kahan/leading-change/who-better-change-leader-obama-or-mccain</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Harvard prof &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.johnkotter.com/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;John Kotter&lt;/a&gt; is one of the foremost authorities on change leadership. I thought it would be interesting to apply Kotter’s eight-step process for implementing successful transformation to our two candidates for president, rating their effectiveness as change leaders. Here goes:

 <title>Rehearsal Can Make For More Effective Leadership </title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/rochelle-mucha/aesthetic-intelligence/rehearsal-can-make-more-effective-leadership</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;One of the great prevailing myths in the workplace is that our time is actually planned. In truth, our day is a series of interruptions and surprises. The best-laid plans give way to spontaneous conversations, debate, and decision-making. Unanticipated external influences demand adaptation. Simply, we are improvising much more than most of us realize.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Reframing Authenticity</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/rochelle-mucha/aesthetic-intelligence/reframing-authenticity</link>
 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Authenticity is a popular topic amongst leadership pundits. Unfortunately, much of the dialogue has been misleading, absent the critical conversation on role and characterization appropriateness. To be authentic, is not just to be who you are, flaws and all, flaunting ‘self’ regardless of circumstance. Rather, it is about clarity of intention, and drawing on oneself to deliver on that intention. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The ‘when’ and the ‘what’ of leadership</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/rochelle-mucha/aesthetic-intelligence/%E2%80%98when%E2%80%99-and-%E2%80%98what%E2%80%99-leadership</link>
 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;‘When’ is different from ‘What’. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;‘What’ suggests a thing, an item, an object, something that may easily be defined, observed, measured. ‘When’ suggests a time, an experience, a feeling. Whereas ‘what’ may be short-lived, ‘when’ is ongoing. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
