Resources:Toxic Organizations - Welcome To The Fire Of An Unhealthy Workplace
We can think of organizations as falling on a continuum. One end is anchored by organizations that function well. In the middle we find the average organization that is effective but could be better.

Winning Management - Learning From Olympic Athletes
During the Olympics millions watched athletes challenge themselves and each other. We saw Canadians and, indeed, Manitobans show that they can be "world class", both in athletic skills and professionalism.
