www.tirian.com – VP of Fed Ex talks about the value of Tirian’s program – “On Thin Ice’ for his regional team. A dramatic themed program that simulates an expedition to Antarctica to look at the effects of pressure on diverse teams.
Is the future of the new team ‘on thin ice’? Contemporary teams face increasingly difficult challenges and require extra cohesion to function positively for corporate success.
Diverse international teams are becoming the norm, creating virtual communities that must span long distances, or even cross the globe.
It will be important for the organization of the future to take precautions to prevent team fissure and avoid the dangers of being stuck ‘on thin ice’.
Through highlighting the issues that teams often face as companies attempt to keep pace with rapid technological and organizational change, it is possible to be better prepared for the impact.

I’m afraid that at some point in the future some stupid tribe will feel "discriminated" by it.
First off you shouldnt say anything about "stupid tribe". And a little fact checking will go a long ways in erasing your own ignorance of fact in most cases of logo questions. Native Americans are very rarely at the root of any movement regarding representative sports logo arguments. It is usually some group of overzealous "PC" groups who very often dont even bother asking the local tribes for an opinion or even have them as represetative voices in the removal of the logo. If a Native American group does come forward I am certain the Hawks ownership will address the situation with respect (that means no calling them "stupid tribes") and have meaningful conversations with that group. WIll it change things….very likely it will not. The use of native logo’s runs pretty deep if you bother to look into it and by and large most Native Americans if not fully supportive are not like the self serving political movement groups that all too often are ignorant of the facts and even the feelings of the people they think they represent…..they do it for their own attention. The Hawks logo has come under scrutiny in the past and has not been changed. This isnt an issue you need to be concerned with unless there is a sudden outcry in Illinois over the use of Native logo’s. The Fighting Illini would be part of any discussion as well….the inference is no different.

Do you have any idea what you are talking about? You sound like some one that is in way over their head trying to sound intelligent! Explain what it is that you want an opinion on and then it can be answered. Your post is just dribble!
Fortune 500 companies all have one thing in common: an organizational culture built on Human Excellence. Advanced technology, cutting edge products and services, a skilled workforce, competitive salaries … none of these things – together or alone – can sustain or grow profits if Human Excellence is not in the equation.

Since we don’t have a political deaf organization, we are called People with Disabilities.
There may be only ONE way to be part of the Political World is to have a Deaf Political Organization that has a largest membership and money. Without it, there is no new political definition for Deaf Community.
We must find a new leader or Deaf organization that is willing to create a new bank account for one presidential candidate. YES, LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD. YES, WE CAN CHANGE.

I entered this video into the USAService.org contest. Its not just telling the world what Im going to do on MLK day, its more. Its my quest I began on 11.4, my service to this world to re-ignite the passion of civic involvement so it doesn’t fade away post the inaugural. Our involvement is key to our world solving its problems. This video is my service and I will continue my entire life to try to inspire us all to be involved. I know now, that is why I was put on this Earth.
YOU can help re-ignite our world’s passion for change that was at an all time high just prior to the election simply by watching this video and forwarding it. Our world needs your passion now, more then ever. FORWARD this video to everyone you know and ask them to do the same.
BEHIND THE SCENES WHY AND HOW THIS VIDEO WAS CREATED: Anyone who joined the Obama administration, I would assume, thought long and hard before making that commitment, understanding the personal sacrifices they would have to make. But they did join, because I would imagine they felt compelled, as I do, to do something for our world, and they knew this was their time.
I also know this is my time. Im 53 (CEO of a production company) and I have no time to waste. So what I did was create an organization I believe anyone wanting to effect change in this world will be interested in, and most importantly, an organization which can help our new President keep the momentum of involvement as strong now as it was before the election (a very difficult task).
The organization is called The Yes We Can (Change our Destiny) Project
What makes me who I am: My father survived the holocaust in Europe, I grew up with very little and was raised by my grandmother, I survived cancer as a young man, my wife and I lost 7 babies as we tried post my cancer to have children and my wife may now be ill herself. So I know something of hardship, but I also know that out of hardship, such as our world faces now, comes resolve. I mention the above publicly only so that all who read this understand the resolve which is within me.
When on Nov. 4th at Grant Park, President Elect Obama said we have an opportunity to put our hands on the “arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope for a better day, I resolved to grab that opportunity. I resolved to proactively do more then just help get our President elected.
Realizing that I can personally help bend the arc of history meaning that I can literally change our destiny, was a tipping point for me.
So I resolved to create the Yes We Can (Change our Destiny) Project

This organization and its first video can inspire millions to continue to stay involved.
Ive tested our first project and it works as expected, thousands of hits in the first few days. This puts the power to re-engage millions at our collective fingertips. But I cant do it alone, I need everyone who reads this post to forward the YouTube link for this project to everyone they know, so as to help re-ignite the fervor and commitment to change that existed prior to the election.
Will.i.am inspired us by his video to get Barack Obama elected. Now lets finish the job and keep everyone inspired.
To be clear: I wish nothing; no fame, no fortune, not even any credit. I just want to know I did something to help and to inspire. Because I know that inspiration is one of the most powerful forces in the world and I know the President elect is brilliant at creating and harnessing it.
The high def video was carefully produced. I created, produced and funded it entirely myself, which, from a practical standpoint, I know I should not have. But I did so to create a high quality effective video, as that is what is needed to re-ignite our collective passion. 40 of Chicagos and the nations top artists, engineers, directors of photography, musicians and philosophical confidents of mine were behind this video.
It was recorded at the Chicago Recording Company, interestingly, though accidentally, on December 7th, Pearl Harbor day (that day that lived in infamy engaging Americans so many years ago at a different time of strife in our nations history).
I would like to ask you to please pass on the link above to everyone you know, so as to help ensure that our world stays inspired.
I fully expect the President elect to have as one of his key messages during the inaugural, that we must all ask not what our country can do for you I will be there to watch Mr. Obama give that message to us all. I hope this video can be of some help to him in his quest to keep us all involved in bending the arc of history.
