Thanks for the kind words, Giff. Let me know what you think of DRIVE (http://bit.ly/drivebook). My hunch is that you'll see yourself in its pages.
Cheers,
Dan

I was thinking about these issues yesterday... just in general. I had read Cory O's blog about the Love Machine at Linden Lab, which was one of the better descriptions of the Love Machine that I've seen.

I was also thinking of this with regards to partners, contractors and consultants. It is common sense that in those scenarios you want to create an environment for your partners to do their best work, yet I rarely see that in practice. I've seen a lot more examples of creating that kind of environment for an internal team than I've seen between partners.

Levity, brevity, and repetition! We were lucky enough to have Daniel speak at Wharton earlier this year, at our Evolution of Learning Symposium. “A Whole New Mind” is a very good read, an interesting take on right brainers and the future.
