Either the Swedes or your gov. is censoring. I write the most beautiful and insightful comments and they just disappear.
This often happens to me. I tend to be a bit too direct at times. I don't wish to get you in trouble either, so maybe it's for the best. I am aware of the censorship rules in your land.
@Mike: wonder what's happening! :( Haven't come across this before, but I hope it is not a case of comments being censored! Maybe you could try copying and pasting from a notepad to avoid losing the comment forever? It will at least allow you to try posting the comment multiple times....
Seems interesting but somehow it went past my head...! It looks as if you have been into 2*2 matrix quite a lot these days... :)
Just curious about the post. Its depicted that 'High Individual Drive' leads to Short term fame. Thinking aloud, i feel it isnt necessarily so always and someone with high individual drive, challenging the status quo can create disruptions...
IAS: Thanks for the comment! :-) Well, the 2*2 matrix has been lurking in the background in almost all MBAs' lives, I guess. :-)
Well, maybe you're right. Maybe persistence by individuals can indeed create a dent in the status quo, even without support from the collective. But I guess this would work only in small circles.
Even Gandhi I believe achieved what he did because of people supporting him across the country and following his principles. But I get the point....not necessary that individual contributions are always (in all situations) ineffective.
Sorry for the late response. I agree....in many cases, it's about changing ourselves rather than 'others'. And, also, it's about changing ourselves in order to change the situation. But in this particular post I was thinking about collective issues in the society etc. Politicians, CEOs, Social Workers are the people I had in mind.
Won't be much change coming from the groups you mentioned. All of members of institutions or businesses that you mentioned are self protecting and work toward their own survival and not that of the community at large.
If any one believes that our world will be changed through politics or bureaucrats, or those only interest in profit and their own wallets they will be very disappointed one day.
:-) Well, it is true that most people work toward their own survival. Hard to argue against that ;-) That's why the world still has serious problems! Let's hope the percentage of such people is low at least in the community of 'social workers'!

Good advise. My wife has suggested this also and to save on a memory chip.
Sometimes I get caught up in the flow of words and can't stop the process. If I do I loose it forever.
Could just be technology not always working as we like to believe.
Thanks for the advise,
Mike

Hello Nimmy:
An after thought.
Change yourself!
