“I have consciously sought after those things which make for value, order, richness, spirit and wonder, even though I am often unable to verbalize what I feel when I perceive something beautiful.

The fact that it is beyond definition means nothing.” FeelsMeanSometimesMomentsFactsBeautifulJoySpiritValuesOrderPleasureWonderBeautyAwarenessSecurityEventsPureDefinitionsPerceiveJustifySensationsRichnessSomething Beautiful Author:Luci Swindoll

“Many people believe that decentralization means loss of control. That's simply not true. You can improve control if you look at control as the control of events and not people. Then, the more people you have controlling events - the more people you have that care about controlling the events, the more people you have proactively working to create favorable events - the more control you have within the organization, by definition.” PeopleIfsBelieveLooksMeanCareLeadershipLossEventsOrganizationDefinitionsTrue YouDecentralization Author:Wilbur L.
