This week: Career Hint in the Newsletter; Church and Democracy Here

2009 January 12
by Forrest Christian

This week in the newsletter, I’ll be discussing how to level-shift your work so that you improve your chances of thriving in this wretched economy. If you’re a hidden high potential, it’s a great time because you have spare capability that you can use to change the game up (or down!) a level and sidestep all the competition. It’s the Kobayashi Maru solution for work: when you’re in a no-win game, change it so that it’s winnable.

If you’re not a subscriber to the newsletter, why not now? You can subscribe in just seconds from the Secret Rules of Career Success site and get special discounts, along with any white papers for new subscribers.

But here I’m going to be doing something a bit different than what I’ve done for the past couple of years and I wanted to warn those of you who would find it useless. This week I am going to be trying to raise a discussion about the role of Christian church models in the rise of democracy. I know that it has a limited audience but it fits, as it uses work levels (stratum) to discuss the problems confronting democracies. Some of the points are probably extendable to any community-based group, including other religious groups. However, I will be focusing on evangelical Protestantism. I meant to do this during Christmas but the Xmas Plague of 2008 sidelined me for an entire week.

So feel free to skip this week. Some of you are interested, and I hope that you will help out with the discussion.

    I’ll watch in order to attempt to decipher whether there is any marked difference proposed with respect to christian models versus other existing religious denominations.
