Digital ID?
Switzerland recently approved a government plan to switch to electronic
passports, tied to a national fingerprint registry. The new passport will
contain a microchip that stores personal data, a digital photo, and two
fingerprints.
Miracle Comeback
CompUSA, a seemingly failing computer retailer has innovated itself into a
new market by changing its stores into "Internet onramps" to purchasing online.

compare prices.
Performance Project Update
From May 14-18, we traveled 2700+ miles on a tour bus with The Booth
Brothers. From Nashville to Iowa to Wisconsin to Minnesota and back to
Nashville, we worked, studied, and interviewed -- for more of the inner workings
of live performances and the application of this information to leadership and
management.
The Performance Project
Keys to Your Career (3 of 3)
 Develop
your personal brand. This tactic
applies to the "brand" you attach to your
name outside of the company as well as your
internal personal brand. Think o f your
"external" personal brand as a seamless
image that you present when you are at any
public events as well as the image you build
with your internet presence.
Boost Your Influence
 Influence
is often the most powerful tool you have for
building a successful project, career or
company. Are you a thought leader in your
world? What can you do to increase your
influence, therefore increasing your overall
effectiveness? Here are some areas you can
concentrate on in order to keep expanding
your influence (and therefore, your actual
authority).

dollars for the organization. In a time when
extra weight is put on each decision and
every budget dollar is savored, this book is
very timely.

Situation Room
Undermining Colleagues
It seems that no workplace is completely
immune to the ill effects of gossip. Our
situation this time is no different.
Christine has not ever gotten along with her
boss, and feels confident that she is
smarter and more competent than him. When
given the chance to work off-site at an
industry conference, she was excited to get
the ear of her boss's immediate superior.
Taking charge of this opportunity, she
gave him a complete description of all that
had gone wrong due to her boss's actions,
starting with the facts, and injecting her
outrage as she continued. You are the
superior in whom she confided.
