			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Notes from The Joy Diet by Martha Beck</h3>
<p><strong>01. </strong>Nothing: to begin the joy diet, you must do nothing for at least 15 minutes a day.<br />
<strong>02. </strong>Truth: Create and absorb at least one moment of truth each day.<br />
<strong>03. </strong>Desire: Each day, identify, articulate, and explore at least one of your heart&#8217;s desires.<br />
<strong>04. </strong><a href="http://pmba.econsultant.com/creativity-index/">Creativity</a>: Each day, conceptualize, and write down at least one new, concrete idea that will help you obtain something your heart desires.<br />
<strong>05. </strong><a href="http://pmba.econsultant.com/risk-index/">Risk</a>: Every day, do at least one frightening thing that contributes to the fulfillment of your desires.<br />
<strong>06. </strong>Treats: Every day, give yourself at least three really good treats; one for every <a href="http://pmba.econsultant.com/risk-index/">risk</a> you take; and two just because you&#8217;re you. No exceptions. No excuses.<br />
<strong>07. </strong>Play: Once a day, take a moment to remember your real life&#8217;s work and differentiate it from the games you play in order to achieve it. Then, commit to playing wholeheartedly.<br />
<strong>08. </strong>Laughter: Every day, make sure that you laugh at least thirty times.<br />
<strong>09. </strong>Connection: Everyday, use joy skills 1 thru 5 in at least one interaction with a person who is important in your life.<br />
<strong>10. </strong>Feasting: Have at least three square feasts a day. This may involve food. Then again, it may not.</p>

<p><strong>01. </strong>We know what <a href="http://pmba.econsultant.com/leadership-index/">leadership</a> looks like (but we don&#8217;t know what it takes)<br />
<strong>02. </strong>Charisma shouldn&#8217;t make a difference (but it does)<br />
<strong>03. </strong>Real leaders don&#8217;t play politics (they take it very seriously)<br />
<strong>04. </strong>Women make better leaders (when that&#8217;s what they really want to do)<br />
<strong>05. </strong>The double standard is for cavemen (and the corner office)<br />
<strong>06. </strong>Thou shalt not play favorites with friends and family (except when it make a lot of sense)<br />
<strong>07. </strong>A leader&#8217;s fundamental duty is to groom a successor (but it hurts like hell)<br />
<strong>08. </strong>Leaders need to demonstrate work-life balance (no problem; work is their life)<br />
<strong>09. </strong>Blatant self-interest is dangerous (in followers, not leaders)<br />
<strong>10. </strong>It&#8217;s lonely at the top (but leaders wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way)</p>

<p><strong>01. </strong>Right heart : Crises exact tremendous emotional costs; as a result, crises demands exceptional emotional capabilities, or emotional IQ.<br />
<strong>02. </strong>Right thinking : Crises demand that we be capable of exercising on-the-spot creative thinking.<br />
<strong>03. </strong>Right soul : Effective crisis <a href="http://pmba.econsultant.com/management-index/">management</a> requires a special inner spiritual growth, or spiritual IQ.<br />
<strong>04. </strong>Right social and political skills : Effective crisis <a href="http://pmba.econsultant.com/management-index/">management</a> requires a special type of political and social IQ.<br />
<strong>05. </strong>Right technical skills : Crises demand that we know different things and that we do things differently; this is technical IQ.<br />
<strong>06. </strong>Right integration : Effective crisis <a href="http://pmba.econsultant.com/management-index/">management</a> requires that we integrate previous forms of IQ; thus, integrative IQ is required.<br />
<strong>07. </strong>Right transfer : New knowledge and new forms of IQ are needed; the author calls this aesthetic IQ.</p>
