Skepticism – The view that knowledge in some area is not possible. Skeptics often don’t actually doubt the truth of the belief which they are skeptical about: their central claim is that we don’t have justification for that belief, and thus can’t be said to know it.
- The Philosopher Dictionary. Martin (2003)

If you dislike theory, and seek only “Practical action”; That is unfortunate. Anything you do is founded upon a theory of some sort, and eschewing theory merely means that your decisions are being misdirected by some bad theory which you do not know about.

The end of the Cold War also led to a world that was not only connected, but hyperconnected. Friedman notes that the global connectivity he focused on in his book The World Is Flat has already grown by leaps and bounds since 2004, when he sat down to write it.
"Facebook didn't exist; Twitter was a sound; the cloud was in the sky; 4G was a parking place; LinkedIn was a prison; applications were what you sent to college; and Skype for most people was typo," he says. "All of that changed in just the last six years.“

Despite popular generalizations . . .“when you holdthe stereotypes up to the light, they don’tcast much of a shadow.” . . . Everyone wants respect Leaders must be trustworthy No one really likes change Loyalty depends on context Everyone wants to learn & likes feedback.
Jennifer Deal, Retiring the Generation Gap (2006)

“I have been researching generational differences and continually dig up unicorns and bullshit. Here it is at the core; People want to do good work, no matter how old and when they are born. Determining intelligence (ability to handle complexity of work) + values + skilled knowledge + wisdom + temperament will tell you what the person is currently able to handle as far as work goes. Good managers are good whether they are Gen Y, Traditionalists, etc... Provide broad goals that allow for autonomy of people to do their work, supply the necessary resources to accomplish the work, and measure progress along the way. Systems-Drive-Behavior”
