“During the financial crisis, I worked with hundreds of executives who struggled as a result of their thoughts about job security. When their beliefs changed, so did their emotional experience - and they were then able to focus on the task at hand more effectively.” HandsAbleJobsBeliefResultsFocusSecurityChangedEmotionalTasksCrisisFinancialExecutivesFinancial CrisisTask At Hand Author:Andrew Bernstein
“Even though it's important for all of us to change our light bulbs and the vehicles we drive, it's much more important to change our laws and policies. I drive a hybrid and we've changed our light bulbs and windows and installed solar panels and geothermal ground source heat pumps and most everything else. But putting the burden on individuals to solve this global crisis is ultimately not going to be the most effective way to solve it.” WayImportantLightLawIndividualPolicyChangedSourceWindowCrisisBurdenSolveHeatVehiclePumpsHybridBulbsLight BulbSolar PanelsGeothermal Author:Al Gore
“The place has had a super-conflicted relationship to its mission. In 1956, it opened as the Museum of Contemporary Crafts. Then in 1986 it had a midlife crisis and changed its name to the American Craft Museum. Then in 2002 the name changed again, this time to the Museum of Arts and Design. Maybe in 2025 the place will be called the Designatorium. The big problem with a museum of craft and design is that all art has craft and design.” ArtProblemBigsNamesDesignChangedCrisisMissionsContemporaryCraftsMuseumsBig ProblemsMidlifeMidlife Crisis Author:Jerry Saltz

“One of the ongoing crises in America is institutional racism. We have a very broken criminal justice system. We live in a country where there are more people in jail than any other country on Earth. There are some 2.2 million people currently incarcerated and they are disproportionally African American and Hispanic. Unarmed African Americans have been abused and sometimes killed while in police custody. Clearly these are issues that must be dealt with and changed.” PeopleHas BeensCountrySometimesEarthAmericaJusticeMillionsIssuesChangedBrokenRacismPoliceCrisisCriminalsAfrican AmericanJailOther CountriesOngoingJustice SystemHispanicCriminal JusticeCriminal Justice SystemUnarmedCustodyInstitutional Racism Author:Bernie Sanders
“You know, I am not a particular Kennedy apologist or an awed fan - I was 12 when he was murdered - but I have discussed Kennedy with historians. For his incredibly short tenure, he was a very important president. Many put him in the second tier, below the big three and surrounded by Truman and Eisenhower. Kennedy moved our soul. Changed our thinking about service and governance. And won big in the greatest nuclear crisis of the Cold War.” ThinkingImportantWarSoulPresidentChangedColdCrisisMovedHistorianCold WarTenureTruman Author:Gene Weingarten
“I would like to have a Europe that has a strong foreign and defense policy, ensures economic growth and is active in addressing the issues of the refugee crisis. But perhaps not one that imposes new regulations on allergens that requires food menus to be changed everywhere. When that happens, it creates the feeling that the wrong priorities are being set.” FeelingsStrongGrowthEconomicPolicyChangedCrisisPrioritiesRefugeeEconomic Growth Author:Sebastian Kurz
“When I wrote my first book, Crisis Management: Planning for the Inevitable, it was endorsed by the American Management Association, and consequently was read by America's top corporate leaders, and overnight put me in high demand as a consultant and as a speaker. Also, that book forever changed the way businesses look at and deal with crises by giving a tangible feel to an otherwise intangible subject.” GivingBookLeaderForeverChangedManagementCrisisPlanningInevitableSpeakers Author:Steven Fink
“Social media has dramatically changed the playing field in terms of crisis communications - and any company that does not effectively use social media to take the pulse of its constituents on a constant basis, and know how to communicate with them in a crisis, is breaching its fiduciary responsibilities to its stakeholders.” TermResponsibilityChangedCommunicationCrisisCommunicateSocial Media Author:Steven Fink

“To change man, the audience by which he judges himself must be changed. A man is defined by his audience: by the people, institutions, authors, magazines, movie heroes, philosophers by whom he pictures himself being cheered and booed. Major psychological disturbances, 'identity crises', are caused when an individual begins to change the audience for whom he plays: from parents to peers; from peers to the works of Albert Camus; from the Bible to Hugh Hefner.” PeopleMenPlayIndividualParentAudienceIdentityChangedJudgingHeroMajorsCrisisInstitutionsPhilosopherPsychologicalMagazinesDefinedPeersDisturbanceIdentity Crisis Book:Dice Man Source: Dice Man
