How to Lead in a Crisis
The current environment presents us with new challenges and opportunities at an ever accelerating pace.
Perhaps there is a reader braver than myself who can tell me if it is safe to read futher than the first sentence of the article. In the meantime, I'll be in my happy place.

"Project a Sense of Calm"
Sorry Mark I quit reading after rule number one.
Meh. Just more fading-boomer bull-puckey.
To wit:
* Put limits on your workday. You can't function well in your job if you are fatigued. Cap the number of hours you work and carve out enough time to make sure that you get enough sleep and spend some time every day with your family.
* Practice deep breathing and take a nap. Both can be done in a few minutes and can be vital in maintaining your equilibrium.
* Maintain your exercise routine. When a crisis starts to fill up your schedule, the daily workout is often one of the first things to get pushed aside. Make it the last. Exercise keeps your mind sharp and routine helps you retain a sense of calm.
So, basically, as we approach TEOTWAWKI, work less, take a nap, and maybe a yoga class.
Fantastic advice. For instance, I hear the Titanic had excellent dining and recreation facilities.

What is your estimated total budget?
Projecting a sense of calm sure looks stressful and expensive to me. No wonder you couldn't read further.
threetorches,

Fortunately, there is no tax yet in place on dark humor and sarcasm! ;)
No idea what might happen if the economy "heats" up though.
Fahrenheit 451
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451
The novel presents a future American society in which the masses are hedonistic, and critical thought through reading is outlawed.
That's probably just crazy talk though. It isn't like we're becoming a nation of hedonistic consumers getting much of our information from the TV.
I think they must've stolen that whole bit from an old Monty Python routine right? To be complete though they should've started with the standard "personal coach" tip: "remember to breathe." On second thought, any manager-type who buys this kind of advice may already have stopped breathing.
kwark,
Apologies in advance to blondes but I'm reminded of a joke.
A blonde is at the dentist. The dentist asks her to take off her earphones. She replies that she will die if she does. He says she won't die. She insists she will die. After a rather long debate, she finally concedes and removes the earphones. The dentist then begins to work on her teeth. Several minutes later she dies. The dentist cannot believe she was right. Curiosity forces him to put the earphones on and listen to the music that was seemingly keeping her alive. This is what he heard.
Breathe in...
Breathe out...
