Comments on: Summer Reading: “How” by Dov Seidman http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/summer-reading-how-by-dov-seidman/ The Read/Write Web in the Classroom Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:31:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Dr. John Rivers http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/summer-reading-how-by-dov-seidman/#comment-25062 Dr. John Rivers Thu, 14 Jun 2007 13:39:00 +0000 http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/summer-reading-how-by-dov-seidman/#comment-25062 Dov's book is a solid collection of the best concepts and perspectives many of the best thinkers of business and society have produced in the last couple of years. What is disapointing is how little original content this book possesses. Spend your weekend reading it if you do not have the time to read the real work.

As an educator I can make the classroom connections easily. It is always in the business world that innovation happens first and then slowly trickles down to education. If education is ever to be ahead of the curve, its teachers will need to be thinking , reading and most importantly applying the ideas found in literature like this.

I haven't read your book and just heard you on GMA with Robbin -- Loved it!!! I've aspired to these concepts 'forever' and being an organizational development professional in the business world, I consistently coach and train to these values. I am thrilled that you've captured it and can't wait to read it. I wish you a great deal of success. Are you ever in NYC? If so, I'd love to meet you! Mary Wolf Dov

We will never be less connected and the connections, the ties, are looser than ever. What a powerful combination of statements. How do we continue to maintain the organizational competencies and values, build shared goals and visions, create community given these parameters? It is fascinating. Social Constructionism would tell us to concentrate on the positive aspects, the strengths of these statements. That may be well considered advice, especially as we look at this from a multi-generational perspective. I can only imagine the different reactions these statements would drive from a baby boomer, or a Gen Xer, for example. Thank you for the thought provoking information.

I feel that this will eventually cause the world to be a more honest place. Every aspect of jounalism, advertising, communicating, and living will change due to these powerful ideas and tools.

So what's the equivalent? Well, previously teaching business networking was handled by, say, the Key Club, which prepared you for your participation in the Kiwanis Club.
