But, functional divisions grow into fiefdoms, and what was once a convenient division of labor mutates into the “stovepipes” that all but cut off contact between functions.

a favorite in our household 💕 baby girl’s birthday is this weekend and it was time to update her birthday face banner. I got a lot of questions about how we make these and my answer is always as loose as the others.. sky is *always* the limit. but here’s the basics! supplies: -cardstock or thick paper -different paper/material. Basically anything in the scrap bin! -a couple of these papers are my wrapping paper (coming soon!) -tacky glue (not hot glue) -twine, string or ribbon -any extras like glitter, poms, tissue paper, crepe paper etc. -I like to choose pictures from every age (starting at the very beginning!) and print their faces to a good size to fit as a banner.

A small reminder (to myself) to venture out for that envelope (and why I usually come back grinning when I do). #mondaymotivation (This quote is taken from a @pbs interview between David Brancaccio and Kurt Vonnegut via @thewirelessgirl.)
instagram.comThe English word “company” comes from the French compaigne—the sharing of bread, the same root as “companion.” Interestingly, the oldest Swedish term for business, narings liv, means “nourishment for life,” and the oldest Chinese symbol for business translates as “life meaning.” Perhaps when we rediscover organizations as living systems, we will al
