June 23, 2016

Hana hou as we say in Hawai‘i ~ let’s do this again. By “this,” I mean Talking Story with the Ho‘ohana Community via email.

To Manage with Aloha is to Hack Behavior

April 25, 2016

We talked about productivity hacking last time. What managers who adopt Managing with Aloha basically do, is behavior hacking: We hack to gain Aloha-informed behaviors.

An Attitude of Scarcity or an Expectation of Abundance: Choose Palena ‘ole

November 3, 2014

There is an attitude of scarcity in Hawai‘i election season campaigning which is very distressing to me. We mostly hear it connected to those “ballot initiatives” which are proposed amendments to the State Constitution or County Charter(s) — proposals we can vote on. In that campaigning, whether by candidate or special interest group, we are […]

On November 4th, your Civic Duty calls. Answer, and answer well.

November 3, 2014

There is a rather popular saying in Hawai‘i right now, and it goes like this: “No vote, no grumble.” What mostly happens however, sad to say, is that people don’t vote, yet keep grumbling. Hawai‘i has a terrible track record with voter registration and voter turn-out, however we’re very good at talking story when it […]
