There's an anecdote about twins still in their mother's womb. They argued about who should come out first. One of the embryos complained ?I'm the most beautiful; I should be born first.?


?Maybe you are beautiful Nike Air Max 95 NZ ,? responded the other, ?but I'm the strongest; I should ooze out first.?


The pair pushed and shoved in their mother's uterus until their umbilical cords broke. The mother miscarried and both fetuses perished.


Divisiveness is a scoundrel who can't leave without being pushed and who won't leave without being forced. He is the star in his own drama.


How many times have Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians seen his film in the theater of Christian dispute?


Pope John Paul II has waged war against divisions within Christianity in hopes of hastening a curtain call to these stains on divine memory. We wish him well. Selfishness, theology, self-righteousness and conceit are the emcees that have broadcast disunity among Christian communities for centuries.


But the Pope took a welcomed step in his battle. He recently returned the bones of John Chrysostom and Gregory Nazianzen to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians. These honored ancient leaders? graves were looted from Constantinople, today known as Istanbul in Turkey Nike Air Max 90 Utility NZ , in 1204 by Catholic marauders during the Fourth Crusade.


In 1054, from Constantinople and beyond to Rome and beyond, division immigrated to Christianity. The Eastern Orthodox Church broke with the Catholic Church because the two branches of Catholicism differed over rites, the wording of prayers, the use of unleavened bread in the Catholic Eucharist, territory Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Breathe NZ , church calendar and other matters.


Pope Paul speeded up his quest after Orthodox leaders accused Rome of trying to evangelize Eastern believers, especially in the Ukraine and Romania. To assure the Orthodox Church Rome had no intention of stealing Orthodox believers, the Pontiff offered to return the bones.


Matthew 5:23-24 says ?If you offer your gift at the altar and there remember someone has something against you, leave your gift before the altar. First, go and reconcile yourself to that person, then come and offer your gift.?


Despite the embargoes Catholics and Protestants have established between each other and within their own borders Nike Air Max 90 Premium NZ , we hope Christians worldwide will look downrange from their own hills and someday migrate toward the plains of unity, using this episode between Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians as an example.

Does being managed by others smack more of ?Survivor? than Stephen Covey for you? Could there BE any more management styles out there?have you gotten to experience all of them yet? And what kind of manager are you?or should you try to be?


If you're reading this, you're probably familiar with too many types of management and leadership styles'more flavors than months, for the most part. On the leadership, not so much. I offer to you now an additional insight into a newly designated style that you will recognize Nike Air Max 90 VT NZ , and may even find funny. Or not, depending on life at work.


And speaking of life at work, what could be more fun than children's toys at work? How about just the thought of them? No, wait?how about BEING them?


Before I go on, I must tell you I am at work on a book on management styles, because we definitely need more fun at work Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Moire NZ , but this type of 'leadership? stands alone, and was recognized and developed by a colleague and myself, with one disclaimer only: No alcoholic beverages were consumed in the making of this theory!


Now back to our theory, which shall be forever called The Yo-Yo Style of Management??which by the way, does not involve cellos or classical music. It is purely and simply based upon that amazing device that delights and mystifies one and all'the yo-yo.


Three Rules


There are only three rules in The Yo-Yo Style of Management:


1. You are the Yo-Yo


2. You are the Finger


3. You are the String


Let's look at these components:


1. You are the Yo-Yo'this means that you are the doer, the impacter Nike Air Max 90 Womens NZ , the thing that moves. It also means you are probably pretty low on the corporate food chain. In other words, you are done to.


2. You are the Finger?now here's where the power is! By mere pointing (either a true gesture or metaphorically), you control the yo-yo(s). All of them. Imagine the power of watching multiple yo-yos fly! You became an executive for precisely this purpose. Skill is a necessity?if you have it, great. If you don't, well, that's the String's failing. Of course Nike Air Max 90 Mens NZ , you can be the Finger at any level of the organization, as long as there are at least two levels ?beneath? you. You know your place?and theirs.


3. You are the String?well, this means you are in middle (high or low middle, depending on how flat your organizational structure is) management, and you are conveying the Finger's commands. High, Low Nike Air Max 90 Mesh NZ , Walk the Dog, Around the World! (That's for all you road warriors and commanders out there). You are a CONNECTOR, and hopefully a skilled one at that. You get things done, and MOVE those yo-yos, while making the Finger proud. On the other hand (or is it Finger?) lackluster Strings drop a lot of yo-yos. Be a STRONG String!


Yo-Yoing your way to the simple life


Now that this theory has been defined for you, could life BE any simpler? Because you can apply the Yo-Yo Style of Management? to personal life Nike Air Max 90 Off White NZ , too. In which case, it becomes more of a principle. (And if you want to have any type of relationship, you may want to go light on the Management.)


Do you realize how simple your life at work will be now that you know this theory? Now that you know what you want, are you ready to pu.
