I
t begins on January 1st with the importance of '
Integrity in Leadership
', and the advice to '
Align yourself with people who have integrity
', and ends on December 31st with the notion of the importance of '
Information Literacy
'. Along the way, these gems of wisdom particularly spoke to my interests: '
the most important work of the executive is to identify the changes that have already happened
'; '
Noneconomic institutions need a yardstick that does for them what profitability does for business
'; '
Reinvent Yourself
'; '
Beware charisma
' (in political leadership); '

'; and, my favorite, '
Today's certainties always become tomorrow's absurdities.
'
