Back to Square One



Dorsey has just finished his annual reviews of Square's 800 employees. He now needs to complete his own. So the Square CEO sends out a Google Doc to the entire company soliciting feedback, but he makes two suggestions that border on the masochistic: All comments should be anonymous, and all comments should be visible to everyone inside the company. "Write whatever you want," Dorsey tells his troops, adding that he wants to learn "where I've done well, where I've done poorly, and where I've completely screwed things up." -- he received more than 500 responses

John Muir - Keep Close to Nature's Heart

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. -John Muir "John Muir c1902" by unattributed - Library of Congress   Licensed under Public Domain Q: How was Muir able to be so influential? A:  He first became famous as a writer, and it was his writings that really touched a lot of people. Publishers came to his house wanting whatever he could give them in the way of an essay. Teddy Roosevelt read his articles, and when he became president he said, “I’m going to California, and the man I want to see is John Muir.” So he began to make political connections through his talent as a writer. Muir made friends, particularly later in life, who were rich and powerful, and he called upon those people for political support when he began to work for wilderness preservation.   Read more on American Profile HERE .

George Lucas Look at LIFE by George Lucas George Lucas directed one of Hollywood's biggest franchises: 'Star Wars.' His parents ran a stationary store in the small dusty town 300 miles north of Los Angeles. Lucas attended junior college in Modesto before moving over to USC where his filmmaking skills (where he directed his first film, a 1 minute film called Look at LIFE) caught Hollywood's eye and landed him a plum position as a production assistant on Francis Ford Coppola's 'Finian's Rainbow.'   Read more on Forbes 400 American Graffiti Although intimidated by the failure of his first film, Lucas went back to work on his next project, American Graffiti. Released in 1973 and was recognized as a stunning portrait of listless American youth in 1962 depicting, in Lucas's own words, "a warm, secure, uninvolved life." The film, made for only $780,000, grossed $50 million in the box office. It was nominated in five categ...

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - How to Have Concentrated Attention

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi  (pronounced Me-High Chick-Sent-Me-High) Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi ~ Positive Psychologist “Reaching the Zone.”  Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is a stocky man. The beard is white, but his eyebrows are red enough to give you an idea of what he must have looked like when he was a boy in Hungary and Italy around the time of World War II. He recalls clearly his own early experiences with what he would come to call flow. After the war, as a 10-year-old, he was interned by the Italians along with the rest of his family until it could be determined that they weren't Fascists. There wasn't much he could do in the refugee camp to salve his worry. But he could play chess against the grown-ups, and he found that during the games he would ''forget about everything.''
