A Round Up of My Writing in January 2010

January 2010 was a productive blogging month.

In case you were busy all the month and could not catch up with this blog, here is a round-up of my writing activities in January 2010.

Posts at QAspire Blog:

• I started 2010 blogging with a review of Nicholas Bate’s book Instant MBA.
• I wrote earlier about “toxic leadership”. This month, I touched upon “Instinctively Reactive Leadership” and how it is a huge cost to the organizations.
• My post on Quality and Quantity – Compliance and Excellence tracked conversations of compliance versus excellence.
• I continued the conversation on Quality and Quantity in my subsequent post.
• I resumed my series on “Great Quotes” and this month, I presented a brilliant quote from Theodore Roosevelt – It is not the critic who counts.
• The Leadership Test by Timothy R. Clark is one of the finest books I have read on essence of leadership. I posted a review of the book.
• Simon Young at iJump posted a video review of my book #QUALITYtweet.
• I posted “Lessons in Using Checklists for Managing Processes”. This post generated some very interesting comments on the blog and on Facebook.
• I documented the lesson I learned from my gym instructor a few years back. The post was titled: No Pain, No Gain. Life Lesson on Endurance
• I continued the thinking on self-improvement aspect and realized that “Thinking” is a very useful (and important) habit in life and career.
• My last post of the month revisited Leadership and offered some ideas on how leaders can stay open and receptive to new ideas.
