Rotary Club Four Way Test
The Rotary Club’s ‘Four Way Test” offers a good way to detect whether an organization is healthy. When people are communicating is it true, is it fair to all, does it build goodwill, and will it be beneficial to everyone involved.

Tom DeMarco on Leadership, Trust, and Training
Tom Demarco makes three interesting observations in Slack.
