How to Avoid a Marital Battle with the Sleep-Deprived
I am calling it a battle on purpose although it can easily escalate to a World War—unless you know what to do. Sleep deprivation makes you groggy, which is an easy part to handle. Sleep deprivation also makes you easily irritated, intolerant, and angry, especially when your significant other has had a good night’s sleep.…

Why a Sabbath?
I was born into a secular family. I never learned any prayers. I did not learn any of the rituals of the Jewish religion. But, I was intrigued and willing to do the best I could to join my “tribe,” wherever in the world they may be. Today, I have been thinking about the Sabbath,…

Socialism vs Capitalism
Since being on dialysis, I have had to sit for long periods of time attached to a machine and I watch a lot of television. I have noticed a major difference in television programming between socialist countries and capitalist countries. The same with movies, and newspapers articles, and business educational programs. Capitalist countries still follow…

The Typology of Strategies; their Impact on Organizational Structure

We can use the PAEI code to classify strategies and analyze how they impact the organizational structure. You can have a (P) strategy, an (A) strategy, an (E) strategy, or…

Being a Jew vs Being Jewish
For some reason, I do not like being “a Jew” or being called “a Jew.” The phrase “a Jew” makes me squirm. In my mind, it has the connotation of being ugly; exploitative; unfair; corrupt; very money, money, money-oriented; argumentative to no end; and noisy. Anti-Semitic propaganda somehow penetrated my self-image, and I cannot rid…

A Family Run Like a Business
I have noticed a pattern in the countries where I have worked (58 so far). The pattern is independent of culture. Each family has a spouse, either husband or wife, who is very money conscious and the other who is more relaxed about spending. This is a source of a lot of conflict in a…

Guns – Sorting Through the B.S.
By Shoham Adizes Guns – Sorting through the B.S. In the wake of the Parkland School massacre in Florida, the United States’ inability to address this recurring issue is being called into question.

How to be Present?
It has been a common message in New Age thinking: be present, stop only thinking about the past or the future. Be present. This made sense to me in light of my own experiences. While I was developing my methodology and testing them with my clients around the world, my mind was 100% occupied thinking…

The Manifestations of Alienation
While traveling the world for my work, I’ve noticed an interesting, universal phenomenon: in developing countries, those that were or are under communist regimes, and those currently under oppressive dictatorships, there is a tremendous negligence in the treatment of public spaces. There is rubbish everywhere, open sewers, dilapidated buildings. However, when you walk into a…
