    Dear Friends!
    Hi!
    I am a consultant developing some course material on management in the
    information Age with special reference to information businesses. I am
    especially interested in the changing role of managers in dealing with the
    problems unique to an enterprise that deals solely with the marketing of
    information and advice, information value creation and addition etc. I
    would love to have any advice and suggestion from anybody who would care to
    jot down a couple of lines....Thanx,

    Athar Osama,

    With all do respect, all things are not equal, and anyone who goes to
    a seminar based on a 2-5 word title is someone I wouldn't even want
    in my classroom...

    Dear Ather:

    I'm a fellow MG-ED subscriber and have a favor to ask on behalf of the
    newsletter I edit: Mind on the Job. I ask that you answer the QUICK
    QUESTION below. We�re a free publication devoted to an exploration of
    the role that mind plays in the work of organizations. A 3x a year
    outpouring of ideas, hypotheses, and reports, MOTJ aims to expand and
    stimulate a conversation about business, knowledge, attitude, and
    related subjects.

    We reserve at least one page in each issue for solicited observations in
    our Answers section We�re soliciting one from you right now. Please just
    make a mark next to your answer , add any comment that you wish, and hit
    the reply to button of your browser. This is NOT marketing information;
    We do not (nor do we plan to) sell any of the seminars listed below. We
    just wonder what topics would appeal to our diverse group of subscribers
    and why. (And we know the question is not scientific, it�s just a quick
    question.) If you wish your answer to remain anonymous, just tell us so
    or leave the comment section blank. Thanks very much!

    QUICK QUESTION

    All things being equal, which of the following seminar topics would draw
    you in the door:

    Spirit in the Workplace
    The Secret of Teams
    Personal Mastery
    Systems Thinking Applied

    Comment or explanation:

    I heartily recommend Intellectual Capital by Thomas A. Stewart if you
    have not already it. I find it to be a solid foundation to this whole
    area of inquiry.

    Good Luck!
