Book Review: Inconvenient Facts—the Moral Case For Fossil Fuels

May 5, 2015

Alex Epstein’s book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, begins to provide balance to the global debate on climate change, the use of fossil fuels, and the use of alternative sources of energy. Until now, fossil fuels have been demonized as a short-range, unsustainable, destructive habit.  Politicians, the lay press, and environmental ideologues, buoyed by ‘bad science” and irresponsible speculation,...

Happy Easter!  This was the best Lent I have ever had.  Clearly, it was because of the book by Marcellino D’Ambrosio (Dr. Italy) 40 Days, 40 Ways: A New Look at Lent.  You will do yourself a spiritual favor if you go ahead and purchase the book so you are ready for Lent next year.  The daily reflections were powerful...

Book Review: There Is No Excuse Not To Innovate; Stakes Are High And Time Is Short

March 17, 2015

We live in a period of accelerating change—socially, culturally, and organizationally. Old norms and old institutions are being challenged, transformed and destroyed as never before. The massive structural change that is underway makes this period very different from all previous periods. I see this first-hand in the work I do with a parish ministry focused on helping those who are...

My wife, Pat, and I were recently in Rome to attend the Canonizations of Saint John Paul II and Saint John XXIII.

My wife Pat and I so enjoy the Christmas season.  Most of all we enjoy that from Thanksgiving to year end we can become more reflective.  Sure there is the hustle and bustle to get everything done before Christmas, but at the same time we are thinking of family, friends, and what we can do to help someone in need. ...

The Danger Of Fame

Fame. A few months ago, prompted by all the news about Michael Jackson’s troubled life and drug-related death and the similarities between him and Elvis Presley, I started to think about the dangers of fame. And when the travails of Jon and Kate (of the Plus Eight television show) became known, I sat down and wrote a first draft of...

U.S. ECONOMY Preliminary estimates of 2009 first quarter GDP suggest only a slight improvement from 2008’s fourth quarter (-6.1 vs. -6.3); however, the massive federal stimuli coming forward point to a possible leveling and then rebound in the quarters ahead.  Much of the last quarter’s contraction centered on decreases in exports (-30%) and a reduction in inventories held by domestic...

Diversity’s Missing Ingredient

June 4, 2009

When it comes to tapping into the competitive advantage of diversity, few companies succeed. Yesterday I was reminded why.  Our firm was having a meeting to discuss important elements of our strategy and marketing efforts, when something really great happened—we got into an argument. Not a disagreement. A loud, contentious, uncomfortable and passionate argument.  On one side of the battle...
