Portability of lots of information should not be underestimated.

I urge you to set a tough, quantitative target for adding "differentiators" as I call them, to every service you provide.

You have to stand out if you want to move up.

Become a "learning organization". Shuck your arrogance - "if it isn't our idea, it can't be that good" - and become a determined copycat/ adapter/ enhancer.

One reason (among many) that women may well take over the world of "virtual enterprises" is that they seem to have a greater instinct for networking. And the unfettered-by-machismo males who have taken to networking will do better than those who shun it as "sissy stuff." But truth is, it has always been the age of "networkers"; and in an era where organizations depend more and more on tenuously connected outsiders to get the job done, it will only become so.

If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.

Leadership is about tapping the wellsprings of human motivation - and about fundamental relations with one's fellows.
