In case you are wondering, I have been traveling all week. I am in Santa Fe - hiding away to work on two writing projects, my essay collection and Hip and Sage.

And you know what my fuel is? Chile, and lots of it. Green chile. Red chile. On eggs, in soups, on sandwiches, everywhere!

I find that the psychoactive properties of New Mexican chile stimulates my brain. Well, maybe that's just my reaction, but it's my story and I am sticking to it.

What do I have to say about management? You can't do I well unless your brain is fed and stimulated. What's on your development plan? When was the last time you attended a class that you really wanted to attend (versus being told you had to go)?

Do you know the conditions under which you do your best work?

Here are a couple great posts for you to check out:

First, from my pal Starbucker, this post called, E-mail and The Decline of Western Civilization: An Open Letter.

Second, check out this great management advice from Joe and Wanda on Management.

Here's a quote for you:

"Eliminate numerical quotas, including Management by Objectives."
