High performance.
I just got a brochure for a conference in October that I will not be attending, but I thought I'd look through it. It's for the World Business Forum and its language is very "written for the downturn". The title is: "Courage | Decisiveness | Tenacity - The time is now". There's part of me that just rolls my eyes at stuff like that. Even though now probably is the time for those attributes. Although really, you need them all the time. Anyway.
And of course the speakers are the usual suspects - Jack Welch, T. Boone Pickens (for a moment I thought "the guy from the Grammys?" but no, that's T. Bone Burnett, I think), Gary Hamel and George Lucas. And Michael Phelps. Whose session is titled "High Performance". I'm sure by October his pot smoking episode will have been forgotten, but right now, it's kind of funny to see his big old head above those words in bold type.
