La felicidad se deriva de una actitud virtuosa ;-)

Go between = Go beat win
Juego de palabras de Karim sobre el negocio de la intermediación comercial … el "go between".
Por cierto, me ha hablado también del Servant leadership - Wikipedia un modelo de liderazgo que desconocía por esa "etiqueta". Un pequeño repaso (con referencia a Herman Hesse incluída) aquí.

Larry Spears, CEO of the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, describes servant-leadership as "a way of being in relationship with others. Servant-leadership seeks to involve others in decision making, is strongly based in ethical and caring behavior, and enhances the personal growth of workers while improving the caring and quality of organizational life."
Servant leadership, essentially, is a journey into the nature of legitimate power and greatness.

We Update You
@acornella ha contado un millón de cosas interesantes hoy en la versión corta de We Update You tras la entrega del premio Emprendedor XXI de la Comunidad Valenciana.
He intentado "tuitear" todo lo que decía, se me ha ocurrido crear un hashtag por concepto (los que tienen un paréntesis en la entrada) y también por las páginas web (la parte más definitoria del url o la marca cuando no había una web…). Se me ha ocurrido que a partir de ahí se puede indagar en lo que interese o llame la atención.
La lectura sería de abajo arriba, ya que lo he sacado de mi timeline y ya sabéis que pone arriba lo más nuevo…

Ken Robinson: How to escape education's death valley | Video on TED.com
… if the conditions are right, life is inevitable.
Ken Robinson: How to escape education's death valley | Video on TED.com
"… The first principle is this, that human beings are naturally different and diverse.
The second principle that drives human life flourishing is curiosity
And the third principle is this: that human life is inherently creative.
…
Death Valley is the hottest, driest place in America, and nothing grows there. Nothing grows there because it doesn't rain.Hence, Death Valley. In the winter of 2004, it rained in Death Valley. Seven inches of rain fell over a very short period. And in the spring of 2005, there was a phenomenon. The whole floor of Death Valley was carpeted in flowers for a while. What it proved is this: that Death Valley isn't dead. It's dormant. Right beneath the surface are these seeds of possibilitywaiting for the right conditions to come about, and with organic systems, if the conditions are right, life is inevitable.
…
There's a wonderful quote from Benjamin Franklin. "There are three sorts of people in the world: Those who are immovable, people who don't get, they don't want to get it, they're going to do anything about it. There are people who are movable, people who see the need for change and are prepared to listen to it. And there are people who move, people who make things happen." And if we can encourage more people, that will be a movement. And if the movement is strong enough, that's, in the best sense of the word, a revolution. And that's what we need.…"

Un cuento sobre dos emprendedores (en)
Mis profes en #mitedp @ MIT-Sloan, Bill Aulet y Fiona Murray, en "A Tale of two Entrepreneurs" defienden las empresas escalables y que pueden operar globalmente frente a las empresas de carácter local cuyo alcance, por el modelo de negocio está más limitado.
Como plantean no es que un modelo sea mejor que otro, pero sí opinan que los "apoyos" gubernamentales deben destinarse más impetuosamente a las primeras ya que pueden generar más riqueza y más empleo, por definición.
"… Even more important, organizations that intend to support either IDE (innovation-driven enterprises) or SME (small and medium enterprises) need different metrics for success and should be judged over a different timeframe. SME programs are regional in their focus and, if well-executed, can provide for a short-term payback, but are unlikely to have a dramatic impact on large-scale job creation. Investment in supporting SMEs also is attractive because it can be geographically targeted, so a politician can more easily directly support his geographically assigned constituents. In contrast, an organization addressing IDE entrepreneurship must have the flexibility to address long-term strategies for economic growth, which can be slower to produce desirable results and often requires a range of stakeholders engaged in IDE acceleration beyond just entrepreneurs—large corporate partners, universities, and risk capital providers also must come to the table. Yes, IDE entrepreneurship is more challenging, but it offers much greater potential upside in the long term. Take Italy as an example of the shortcomings of a confused strategy, as the Wall Street Journal described in November 2011. In Italy, entrepreneurs stay small, in trusted regional markets, because government policies discourage their aspirations for growth. Italy’s economic woes partly are due to the entrepreneurs who do not plan for IDE creation, but instead stay focused on approaches for establishing more traditional SMEs.

Italy’s economic woes partly are due to the entrepreneurs who do not plan for IDE creation, but instead stay focused on approaches for establishing more traditional SMEs.
Given these differences, organizations that combine SME and IDE entrepreneurship tend to falter. Regardless of their stated intentions, over time they tend to allocate proportionally more resources to SME at the expense of IDE because of the need for immediate and visible results.
If job creation and economic prosperity are the goals for a government, IDE entrepreneurship must be a major element of government strategy and policymaking. IDE generates many more new jobs and more exports than SME. And to ensure that IDE entrepreneurship has the right support structures, separate and equitable organizations will need to be set up, with different programs and mindsets, to support SME and IDE entrepreneurship. "
No perdamos de vista que son estadounidenses y no cuentan con que aquí nuestra clase política es bastante más … "compleja" ;-)

El culto del hacer
El culto del hacer vía Andrés Schuschny
- 1. Hay tres estados del ser: no saber, la acción y el terminar.
- 2. Acepta que todo es un borrador. Esto ayuda a lograr que las cosas se hagan.
- 3. No existe el estadio de edición.
- 4. Pretender que se sabe lo que se está haciendo es casi lo mismo que saber lo que estás haciendo, así que acepta que sabes lo que estás haciendo, aunque no sea así, pero hazlo.
- 5. Destierra la procrastinación. Si esperas más de una semana para realizar una idea, abandónala.
- 6. El objetivo de hacer no es el de terminar de hacer, sino el de poder hacer otras cosas.
- 7. Una vez que hayas terminado siempre puedes tirarlo.
- 8. Ríete de la perfección. Es aburrida y te impide estar haciendo hasta el final.
- 9. Las personas que no tienen las manos sucias están equivocadas. Hacer algo te hace tener razón.
- 10. Equivocarse cuenta como lo algo hecho. Así que comete errores.
- 11. La destrucción es una variante del hacer.
- 12. Si tienes una idea y la publicas en Internet, eso cuenta como un fantasma de algo hecho.
- 13. Haberlo hecho en sí, es el motor de hacer más.

Pitching a VC, Leave The Backstory At Home
The NYC-based Wilson also says that he’s looking for pitches that sound crazy. When something sounds extremely far-fetched, Wilson says that he’s ready to hear more about the idea.
Fred Wilson On Pitching A VC: Leave The Backstory At Home | TechCrunch
Wilson explained: “What you need to do is get people engaged in the conversation as soon as you can. They have 10, 15 or 20 slides. If you only get through one slide because the partnership hijacks the conversation, it’s a good thing.”
