Tired of Operational Surprises? Ask These Strategic Questions

Surprise parties can be fun. If the balloon tower featuring your age got cancelled—even better. Surprises in business aren’t so welcome. When the membership director springs a dashboard on you with every indicator trending south, it’s not a good day. Distraction is an invitation for the unexpected. If you’re playing Whack a Mole with details, it’s easy to overlook the big picture. Take a…

As y’all are no doubt aware, brevity isn’t really my jam; as, TBH, I’m quite enamored with the sound of my own voice (whether spoken or written). So, when it comes to these digest-style articles for THE LIST, a HUGE amount of the credit goes to EIC @AndreaBennettInk, who takes the rambling screeds I send her and whittles them down with surgical precision to the lean bursts of verbiage you read in the magazine. Case in point: this article about @DavidBlaine’s new IN SPADES residency à la @AEGPresentsLV, in the @ResortsWorldTheatre at @ResortsWorldLV; about which I was pretty intrigued beforehand (i.e., how he planned to translate his well-known spectacles to the Las Vegas stage), and from which I came away amazed, shocked, awed, a little grossed-out, and thoroughly entertained. And really, isn’t that the whole point?

For Positive Outcomes, Hold a Mirror Up to Board Performance

Even with a friendly name like “feedback, check-in, or coaching,” a performance evaluation can be uncomfortable, or possibly downright scary.   It’s not surprising if volunteers are reluctant to scrutinize themselves in the mirror. That’s probably why more organizations don’t have a process for evaluating the board of directors, or if they do, that assessment is not continuous. While the…

Flat, Tall, or In Between—Is It Time to Evaluate Your Organizational Structure?

Flat, Tall, or In Between—Is It Time to Evaluate Your Organizational Structure?

Even small associations tend to stack layers of management like the cake at a royal wedding. As many as five tiers of responsibility (junior positions, middle managers, executive staff, committees, and the board of directors) are not unusual.   Depending on the circumstances, these levels either promote efficiency with short, clearly defined reporting lines or create a long, perilous climb…

Brief. Succinct. Concise. These are not words anyone has ever used to describe my writing (or me, for that matter); so, writing for @AndreaBennettINK at #TheList has been a bit of a learning exercise for me: And I’ve been loving every minute of it! This time, I got to carry on about @JohnLegend’s brilliant @LiveNationVegas-presented #LoveInLasVegas residency—featuring 91 eye-popping ensembles à la @DaveThomasStyle!!—inside @ZapposTheater at @PHVegas; as well as @StripHouseOfficial (and their amazing #GooseFatPotatoes)!

When @AndreaBennettInk called to tell me that—in addition to her job as EIC of both #WYNN and #WYNNMACAU magazines—she was going to be helming a new digital digest-style magazine (a spin-off of @ModernLuxury’s @VegasMagazine) called THE LIST, I was delighted. When she asked whether I’d write a short piece about @BrunoMars and @Anderson.Paak’s recently-debuted residency AN EVENING WITH SILK SONIC (at @DolbyLiveLasVegas at @ParkMGM), I said “Absolutely.” And when she asked if I could include a “Warning Label” describing those who might not enjoy the show, I replied in the affirmative; once I’d finished L-ing OL, that is.

Heroes Shaping the Future of Education Technology

Heroes Shaping the Future of Education Technology

I’d like to introduce you to a group of unsung heroes. While the pandemic was making kids cranky and parents crazy, members of the California IT in Education Association (CITE), were on the frontlines restoring order. They worked tirelessly, often putting their health at risk, to ensure that every child in grades K through 12 had the technology needed for remote learning. CITE’s members support…
