From ultra-personal diary entries to specialized information on a wide variety of subjects (teen ranting to presidential campaigns), blogs are the new way to create a virtual community that can effect real-world change. It's not hard to set up a blog, but it can be difficult adjusting to life in the "Blogosphere."

Transparency: How Leaders Create a Culture of Candor (J-B Warren Bennis Series)

Transparency: How Leaders Create a Culture of Candor (J-B Warren Bennis Series) Review

In Transparency, the authors?a powerhouse trio in the field of leadership?look at what conspires against "a culture of candor" in organizations to create disastrous results, and suggest ways that leaders can achieve healthy and honest openness. They explore the lightning-rod concept of "transparency"?which has fast become the buzzword not only in business and corporate settings but in government and the social sector as well.

Together Bennis, Goleman, and O'Toole explore why the containment of truth is the dearest held value of far too many organizations and suggest practical ways that organizations, their leaders, their members, and their boards can achieve openness. After years of dedicating themselves to research and theory, at first separately, and now jointly, these three leadership giants reveal the multifaceted importance of candor and show what promotes transparency and what hinders it. They describe how leaders often stymie the flow of information and the structural impediments that keep information from getting where it needs to go. This vital resource is written for any organization?business, government, and nonprofit?that must achieve a culture of candor, truth, and transparency.

Blogging 101 Blogging Your Way to Profit,You Can Benefit from Blogging Review

If you are already maintaining a web internet site, possessing a blog can add to, or enhance, your current web presence. The ability to provide your customers, and readers, with fresh content on a daily, or weekly basis can keep your business running still during lean months. Blogging is as well a fantastic way for small business owners, with little web design knowledge, and small budgets to establish a professional, attractive, web presence.
Many designers charge much much less for a completely customized blog design and installation than they would charge for complete, traditional, html or flash website design.
When blogging first began becoming popular among businesses I was slow to notice the change. It seemed to me as though more and more of my competitors were shutting down their traditional websites and replacing their situation with well designed blogs.
Other competitors kept their current websites up, but added links to their websites that sent surfers to there companies newly created blogs. I decided to start learning more about blogging, but I didn't want to change my entire website format until I was sure blogging was right for me and my business.
