We live in a new world. As the article ‘The New Reality: Constant Disruption’ points out:

The world is moving so fast that even the short term seems long. Writing his Financial Times column The Long View on a recent Friday morning, John Authors observed that, "as far as many traders across the world are concerned, a ‘long view’… is anything that goes much past Sunday evening."

These are interesting financial and political times. But one thing is for sure, the new US leader is working to act decisively, already ordering the dismantling of CIA prisons and Gitmo. A Harvard article provides insight into Obama in the article ‘How to Communicate like Barak Obama’;

• Challenge: Yes we can was his campaign slogan.
• Question: Hear all sides of the issue.
• Be real: Most evidenced by his letter to his daughters.
• Decide: Be decisive.
• Inspire: Absolutely.

Press on.
