Notations On Our World (Weekly Edition): Out & About in Our Hometown W @Amazon

Our team was out and about in our hometown yesterday as we noticed something very interesting: An Amazon "Treasure Truck".   They have apparently begun a campaign to further make inroads as yesterday's "special" was an Echo Dot Speaker to further help drive business to Amazon.

The question is:  Who will stop Amazon?

Notations From the Grid (Weekly Edition): On Trust In Our World

Trust is a critical factor in creating a Vision of the Possible.   This is why this interesting take on Trust was critical for us to feature for this edition of "Notations":

New post on Leading with Trust

Reflections on the 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer by Randy Conley  Reblogged from Accolade Communications: "A Battle for Truth" and "Trust Crash in the U.S." proclaimed last week's 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer. Then, the usual, ridiculous hand-wringing ensued. Yet, there's plenty of research in business strategy and ethics that points the way out of this quagmire; and it's not the inter-personal stuff you may be familiar with. I'm talking real business practices and systems that make your organization more trustworthy and therefore, more trusted. Read more… 800 more words My fellow trust activist, Dominique O'Rourke, recently published her reflections on the results of the 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer. I enjoyed her "straight talk" perspective and agree with her conclusions. There are obvious steps leaders can take to address the crisis of trust in our major institutions, but it requires strength of character to do the right thing. Often times the right choice flies in the face of the easiest or most popular path endorsed by those who tend to benefit the most from the decision being made. It's time for leaders of all organizations to quit focusing on self-interest, stop appeasing the desires of the most powerful, and start serving the greater good of all stakeholders. We don't have a crisis of trust so much as we have a crisis of untrustworthy leaders.

Notations From the Grid (Special Feburary 2018 Edition): Reflections....

Welcome to Feburary here in the Daily Outsider!!!
Last week was  quite a week as our World was witness to Davos and we here at The Daily Outsider provided Guidance on it.   Davos2018 is now history as we  shared   selected curations of the final two days.  

It was also a month  of yet again tumulus developments on the Science Front which we are pleased to present a selected snapshot courtesy of our friends @Futurism:

Notations From the Grid (Special Month-End Edition): On the Emirates Mars Mission (#DAVOS2018)

As our team was on #Davos2018 watch last week, one of the insightful sessions was on the Emirati Mars Mission.   We were fascinated by it especially in light of the strides Dubai has especially made in creating smart cities (including air taxis/etc).   This is as the UAE has been quite aggressive on the political front leading  an Anti-Qatar blockade and being actively engaged in Yemen backing the separatist Southern Transitional Council.       

Please enjoy these clips on the strides made in spite of the challenging environment the Middle East is today:

Notations From the Grid (Special Friday Edition): On @elonmusk Watch

Elon Musk is on a roll.     This is as he has been given a task to build Tesla into a 650 Billion Dollar Business--he will not make a dime if he does not meet his milestones.     Our team found it hilarious that the New York Times Reported that California Law requires Tesla to pay Elon Musk 37,000 Dollars a Year (minimum wage)--which he never cashes.     We also picked up this on how he manages it all which is insightful.  

Here are some interesting insights courtesy of the team at CBInsight we received recently at our Virtual Studios.   We look forward to keeping tabs on him and his various entities--Someone did suggest recently to actually buy a Tesla before going out of business.    Recently, there were reports of two Tesla Cars being in accidents- when in a Self-Drive Mode.

Elon Musk's companies are taking on basically everything. We take a look at how his ventures are (or are not) transforming 8 different industries, from energy to transportation to healthcare.
