From The Front Lines Of The Culture War: Gaining Clarity On Catholic Leadership And Accountability

December 23, 2008

As a foot soldier on the front lines for California’s "Yes on 8" campaign, I experienced the “culture wars” from the trenches. I want to share with you what I saw and experienced first-hand because I believe it affects all of us, wherever we live, whatever work we do. As you may remember, California’s Proposition 8 (Yes on 8 )...

Traveling Without A Ticket

December 17, 2008

I was in Rome last week and I had to catch a bus, but in Italy you can't buy a ticket on the bus. You have to buy the ticket before you get on the bus. Only I didn't have time to buy a ticket, and I didn't have time to wait for the next bus. So I just got...

Is Jesus Still Relevant?

Is Jesus Still Relevant?

December 5, 2008

It should come as no surprise to us that, in this modern environment, the relevance of Jesus is being seriously questioned. The reason is simple. The philosophy of Christ is very different from the prevailing philosophies of our modern culture. In fact, they are completely opposed to each other. And yet, the teachings of Christ and these modern philosophies both...

Management That Makes A Difference: 

The Danger of More Shiny New Things

The Danger Of More Shiny New Things

November 22, 2008

I‘m sure it‘s natural for people to be fascinated with acquiring new things. Whether we‘re talking about physical possessions like homes or cars or toys, or more conceptual assets like knowledge or technology or business strategies, we seem to highly value what we don‘t have, especially when it is novel. I suppose this is understandable—even good—in a society that values...

Courageous Leadership

October 31, 2008

I am sending this message to  large group of people who I know to be Catholic/Christian.   I must confess that there are parts of me that don’t want to send it, because I don’t want to offend anyone or make them uncomfortable.  However, sometimes in life we are called to stand up for something we believe in even when it...

What are you willing to give your life for?

What Are You Willing To Give Your Life For?

October 1, 2008

Just before her death Joan of Arc wrote, "I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have and we live it as we...

Economic Outlook – September 2008

Economic Outlook – September 2008

September 18, 2008

U.S. ECONOMY An economy characterized by constrained credit and a retrenching consumer continues to weigh on growth.  Although GDP growth was positive into the third quarter, much of this could be attributed to the tax rebates of the spring.  It is noteworthy that even with this stimulus adding 10.5% in annualized disposable income growth in the second quarter, real spending...

The Complexity And Rapidity Of Decision-making And The Failure To Integrate Ethical Reflection Into It

August 14, 2008

Most business professionals are acutely aware of the fact that decision-making within our highly technological and multi-layered organizations has become extraordinarily complex and rapid. Computer access, email, the internet, conference calls, integrated systems, and other technological advances, though incredibly positive in their capacity to promote communication, growth, access to resources, and the opening of new opportunities, has also increased the...

The Power of Pondering

The Power Of Pondering

August 1, 2008

As is so often the case, the most important and powerful aspects of life are the simplest. And often we overlook the simple in the pursuit of the complex and the novel. Such is certainly the case when it comes to the power of quiet, focused contemplation—or pondering. Someone once told me about an executive for the San Francisco Giants,...

Are We Living In The Age Of The Laity?

January 11, 2008

The role of the laity has become a central issue in the US Catholic Church today for two reasons. First, recent sex and financial scandals have mobilized the laity to become actively involved at all levels of the US Catholic Church. Interactions range from positive to negative. One national group, The Voice of the Faithful, which has not been warmly...
