About this user
I am intrigued by fascinating people such as:
WILL ALLEN, The founder and CEO of Growing Power Inc., a farm and community food center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Will is widely considered the leading authority in the expanding field of urban agriculture.In 2008, Will was named a John D. and Katherine T. McArthur Foundation Fellow and was awarded a prestigious foundation "genius grant" for his work -- only the second farmer ever to be so honored. In May 2010, Time magazine named Will to the Time 100 World's Most Influential People.
LT. GENERAL RUSSEL L. HONORE, US Army (Ret), was widely hailed by the media as the "Category 5 General" who led Task Force Katrina in the aftermath of the devastating hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast in the summer of 2005. General Honoré is currently a Senior Scientist with The Gallup Organization, where he is working on developing questions to determine levels of preparedness, and a CNN Preparedness Contributor.
SETH GODIN is the author of thirteen books that have been bestsellers around the world and changed the way people think about marketing, change and work. His books have been translated into more than 33 languages, and his ebooks are among the most popular ever published.
Amazon Exclusive: Hugh MacLeod Reviews: "Linchpin": This is by far Seth's most passionate book. He's pulling fewer punches. He's out for blood. He's out to make a difference. And that glorious, heartfelt passion is obvious on every page, even if it is in Seth's usual quiet, lucid, understated manner.
A linchpin, as Seth describes it, is somebody in an organization who is indispensable, who cannot be replaced—his/her role is just far too unique and valuable. And then he goes on to say, well, seriously folks, you need to be one of these people, you really do. To not be one is economic and career suicide.
