In the 3rd carnival post on the Stats Made Easy blog Mark J. Anderson took a look at Seth Godin’s blog and among other things liked: Godin suggests that under the bright light of the internet being generous and fair in business dealings pays off now more than ever.

Bryan Lund found some inspiration from the Three Star Leadership Blog, Process Rants, Capable People? and the Leadership Styles Blog. Highlights include:

• A simple questioning method to help people buy-in to process improvement
• Wally Bock showing how problems are like dinosaurs
• Underpromising and overdelivering, not such a good idea
• Shaun Sayer’s debunking a number of ISO myths in Quality Policy and Quality Objectives

And I covered, Training Within Industry, Visual Management Blog and Making IT Clear to bring the annual management carnival to a close. Highlights include:
