090905 - submitting his narrative to me and after we discuss it.

091301 - He has just returned from a week in Florida where he was meeting on
091302 - his project.

091305 -
091306 - We discussed the idea of Morris presenting the Grove Management Method
091307 - he described on 960401, ref SDS 13 3703, in relation to the Welch
091308 - Management Method which uses technology, per his explanation in 1991.
091309 - ref SDS 1 4930
091310 -
091311 - This would address the executive mindset as an obstacle to leadership
091312 - discussed on 960227, ref SDS 7 2004, and it would cover Morris' ideas
091313 - that leadership needs better...

091316 -          •  Analysis
091317 -
091318 -     ... discussed on 960103 at ref SDS 5 5838, in relation to accepted
091319 -     management standards in the PMBOK and ISO 10006 which call for:

091321 -          •  Continual Learning, ref SDS 4 2846ref SDS 4 1740
091323 -
091324 -     ...but which are difficult to perform consistently, because there
091325 -     isn't enough time on the Information Highway, ref SDS 8 3003,
091326 -     using traditional methods like "20 80" time management, manual
091327 -     notebooks, 3 x 5 cards, email, and meetings, per our discusion on
091328 -     960227.
091329 -
091330 -     Technology may be able to help by empowering managers to integrate
091331 -     "time" with information, so more analysis of daily communications
091332 -     can be done that connects summary impressions to details of the
091333 -     work, and to organizational objectives, thus turning an obstacle
091334 -     to leadership into a plus by providing traceability that makes
091335 -     "continual learning," from capturing organizational experience, a
091336 -     reality.

091339 -     Scribe, Psychological Buffer, Leadership Aide
091340 -
091341 -     Like an ancient scribe, a new kind of "leadership aide," perhaps a
091342 -     Communication Manager, can be used to apply the technology to
091343 -     further make technology an alley for leadership.  The budget for
091344 -     this new role is the same as the budget for executives, cost and
091345 -     cost and schedule engineers, and accountants who perform Risk
091346 -     Management functions under the increasing risk of error due to
091347 -     faster flows of information in the modern era.  A Communication
091348 -     Manager shields executives as a psychological buffer against
091349 -     stress, ego and loss of self-esteeme, from daily exposure to
091350 -     errors, in the manner of computer chaching system.

091355 - Morris wants to talk to Sherrill about his presentation to see if he
091356 - is supposed to emphasize obstacles or tools?
091357 -
091358 -    I asked him to prepare his paper and submit it to me for comment.
091359 -    Then we can discuss the approach to take with Sherrill.
091360 -
091361 -    Morris said he will do this.
