On Sinking Ships, by Kathy Phillips

I work in a center at a business school, which allows me behind the curtain of a truly great enterprise. This morning, we had a meeting for all the centers and institutes, at which our vice dean spoke about the transitions we are going to make as a group.

I liked this one thing that she said very much:

"I can't swim. So I cannot be on the boat that is going down."

That was funny.

Good motivation, too.
