Marguerite- the best blog to date. Wow! In my experience, internal politics have been the big hammer on realizing the potential of workers. Many talented people toil under the radar, rarely challenged, except by workload volume. You are so right in that decision makers rarely have the vision to see beyond first impressions and preconceived notions. As China and India overtake the US as superpowers, using fully what we already have would take us far. The question is: “how do we as a nation tap into our own capabilities”?

Chris, I believe that Charles Howard lived his life that way and wish there were more men and women like him. He definitely set the tone for everyone to excell around him.

Attitude is systemic, it governs our lives across the board. The more enlightened our perspective of others, whither in the workplace, the home, or civic and social environments, the more we give the world around us the opportunity to express a higher vision, a greater talent. Excellent subject, excellent blog. Thanks Marguerite!

Tami, thanks for your comment. How much weight would you give a potential candidate who has the passion + right experience but no degree compared with a person with pedigree but less experience?
