    Patrick Lencioni’s book Advantage is entirely different from many of his other books, which read like fables; therefore, his would be my only complaint against Advantage. However, as Lencioni alludes, this is the book he wished he had written first. And rightly so, Advantage includes many of the principles taught in at least five of his other books and his big idea comes in this opening statement: “The single greatest advantage any company can achieve is organizational health.” The entire book is built around creating organizational health as opposed to most leadership books that attempt to teach new tricks to help an organization grow. Lencioni is convinced; and does an excellent job convincing his readers, that organizational health, not…

    Understanding our Present Moment Within Russell McCutcheon’s “Understanding Our Present Moment,” he illustrates the various ideas and arguments portrayed in this day and age, primarily in relevance to religious scholars and their concept of the sacred. Russell brings to attention a comment recently made by President Trump in response to the removal of the confederate monuments, and the protests that have occurred involving the defilement of such. Trump argues that the removal of such memorials is a “slippery slope,” and he questions whether or not we will be able to draw a definitive line between which statues will remain and which will be removed. For example, Trump brings into question the statues of our founding fathers such as Washington and Jefferson, contending that since they owned slaves it would be enough to bring controversy to the validity and necessity of what the monuments stood for. On the contrary, religious scholars like McCutcheon have been able to assist in clarifying this line by acknowledging the context and society that the founders existed in.…

For the ‘content’ of a medium is like the juicy piece of meat carried by the burglar to distract the watchdog of the mind.” People are susceptible to everything they see and hear. They will believe and do almost anything the media tells them to. +Using the foundation of McLuhan’s essay “The Medium is the Message,” one can see how certain mediums affect our reactions through daily encounters.…
