Real Leadership
by Maddog on Jul.27, 2010, under Leadership
There is a difference between rank and leadership.
A true leader earns his or her rank.
One responsibility of the holder of rank is to his subordinates as well as his superiors.
While most holders of rank know about the responsibility to superiors, it seems that fewer know about responsibility to subordinates.
The best leader is the one who trains others to take his place, to multiply himself, so he can be many places at once, through delegation of authority. There is no better incentive, for people to do their best than the possibility that he may earn a promotion through his work and initiative.
This is why a true leader seeks to “lift up” the best of his subordinates.
It has been said that a person seldom if ever climbs in rank without taking others along with him.
Unfortunatly, there are many holders of rank who, are threatened by the talents of his subordinates.
This type is indicated by:
Blaming of subordinates for his own incompetence.
Seeking to guard his position from his more talented subordinates, by bad mouthing them to his superiors and others.
Always “finding a reason” to pass his subordinates over for promotions in rank, and always bringing people “from outside” to fill positions of rank under his chain of command, whenever those positions open up.
This is the sign of someone who has a rank higher than he should be holding.

I discovered something that could be one of the most brilliant movies ever made.
This fellow Kevin is asking people from all over planet Earth to film or record part of their day.
It takes place on July 24, 2010.
I haven’t decided if I am going to precipitate in this or not.
Why the Economy is down
by Maddog on Apr.29, 2010, under Uncategorized
This is why the economy of the USA is in trouble.
This is why the government is going bankrupt.
This is why those of us who work for a living are being taxed into poverty.
The government has turned into a device that transfers money by force from the middle class and poor to provide luxury lifestyles to parasites…. AND THEY ARE ALWAYS SCREAMING FOR A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF YOUR MONEY. AND THEY ALWAYS VOTE!

Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.
I have been busy with many projects over the last few months.
It was not my intention to go so long without a post or podcast. Some big things have been happening.
I’ve have been working on starting up a new business with greater cash flow potential than writing and podcasting.
I still plan to do some podcasting and writing, most of my efforts will be focused on my new endeavor. This new business will launch on January 1, 2010.
New live show with call in feature
by Maddog on Jul.22, 2009, under News, podcasts
In my last post I wrote about plans to start doing a live show a few times a week.
I discovered this interesting site that allows me to do it.
However there are a few drawbacks in return for the fact that they provide me with a live stream and switchboard for callers.
One drawback is that the entry level service requires the use of a telephone to talk over the stream. Here is the problem, people who listened to my pre-recorded shows on this site can hear them in stereo. When you listen to my show live or archived on that site you will notice a substantial loss in audio quality. However after have a few live shows, and speaking with a few listeners, I have decided that the extra exposure of a live show will make up for the loss in quality.
