     With your mind as high as Mt. Fuji you can see all things clearly.

     Expressions explain a lot about our state of mind. We all get struck in the weeds, dig holes for ourselves, and can't see the forest for the trees from time to time. But there's another expression that presents a much more desirable place to be. Read about it in this week's CM!

Seneca: Conversations in Management

    Our plans miscarry because they have no aim--when a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

     It started with a small flag in a one room school house. Before it was over Woodrow Wilson was talking about Old Glory and Bernard Cigrand was something of a hero. Read about it in this week's CM!

George Canning: Conversations in Management

     Of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send, Save me, oh, save me, from a candid friend.

     Ike, Columbus and eggs? Connect the dots in this week's CM!

Henry Moore: Conversations in Management

     It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job--it releases tension needed for his work.
                                                                                                                                               Henry Moore
