Leadership Versus Management
The terms 'leadership' and 'management' are often used interchangeably, but they are two distinct and complementary processes. Although ‘leadership’ is often considered a superior role to ‘management’, both are essential to all organisations, regardless of size. By understanding the key differences and strengths of each discipline, organisations can be better placed to make effective use of both.
Adaptive Leadership Peer Consulting Methodology
The following pages describe the Cambridge Leadership Associates (CLA) Adaptive Leadership Case Consultation methodology that has been used by thousands of people across private, public and non-profit sectors.
The structure of this process can feel awkward at first, but is designed to surface new interpretations and areas of activity that would not be realised in traditional dialogue. The value of the consultation often comes from the diagnostic breakthroughs, helping the Case Presenter see the situation in a fundamentally different way than he or she presented it to the group.
This diagnostic process requires the group to be free to brainstorm without constraint: there are no bad ideas, nor are there avenues closed to exploration. What often happens is that as themes develop, the group will gravitate toward one or two ideas about how to look at the case that are new and perhaps even uncomfortable for the Case Presenter.
Regarding Sportsmanship, It’s Time for Wake-up Call in High School Sports

And for some individuals recently, the games have not been enjoyable. In the past few months, following are some of the unfortunate incidents that have occurred at the high school level:
Why NBA center Jason Collins is coming out now - Sports Illustrated
Now I'm a free agent, literally and figuratively. I've reached that enviable state in life in which I can do pretty much what I want. And what I want is to continue to play basketball. I still love the game, and I still have something to offer. My coaches and teammates recognize that. At the same time, I want to be genuine and authentic and truthful.
Why am I coming out now? Well, I started thinking about this in 2011 during the NBA player lockout. I'm a creature of routine. When the regular season ends I immediately dedicate myself to getting game ready for the opener of the next campaign in the fall. But the lockout wreaked havoc on my habits and forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want. With the season delayed, I trained and worked out. But I lacked the distraction that basketball had always provided.
Soft tissue injuries simply need PEACE & LOVE - BJSM blog - social media's leading SEM voice
ehabilitation of soft tissue injuries can be complex. Over the years, acronyms guiding their management have evolved from ICE to RICE, then to PRICE and POLICE. Although widely known, the evidence for these treatments is limited. ICE/RICE/PRICE focus on acute management and ignore sub-acute and chronic stages of tissue healing.
