			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of the setup for getting the &#8216;<a href="http://weblog.tomgraves.org/index.php/2009/06/21/slideshare5/" title="Slidepack - 'What is power, anyway?'">What is power, anyway?</a>&#8216; slide-pack online at Slideshare, I&#8217;ve finally gotten round to doing something I should have done a year ago: a three-page reference-sheet version of the <a href="http://tetradianbooks.com/2009/06/hss-manifesto/" title="'Manifesto' on power in the workplace">&#8216;<strong>Manifesto</strong>&#8216; on power in the workplace</a>, that forms the intro and summary for my book <a href="http://tetradianbooks.com/2008/07/hss/" title="Book 'Power and Response-ability'"><em>Power and response-ability: the human side of systems</em></a>.</p>
<p>I did the original version of this way back in 2001, but it&#8217;s still just as relevant today. Inspired in part by the structure and content of the <a href="http://www.cluetrain.com/" title="Cluetrain Manifesto">Cluetrain Manifesto</a>, it summarises the nature of power in the workplace, with a set of 95 statements under the following section-headings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Systems</li>
<li>Economy and the &#8216;bottom line&#8217;</li>
<li>Stakeholders and corporate culture</li>
<li>Purpose and quality</li>
<li>Knowledge</li>
<li>Work-relationships</li>
<li>Power and response-ability</li>
<li>Human forms of power</li>
<li>Power in the work-environment</li>
<li>Sources of power</li>
<li>Mistakes about power</li>
<li>Power-addiction, winners and losers</li>
<li>Scope of power-issues</li>
<li>Conclusions and actions</li>
</ul>
<p>As with all the reference-sheets, it&#8217;s a free <strong><a href="http://tetradianbooks.com/2009/06/hss-manifesto/" title="'Manifesto' on power in the workplace">download</a></strong>, of course. Hope you find it useful, anyway.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prepared a handout on <a href="http://tetradianbooks.com/2008/09/disciplines/" title="Book - The Disciplines of Dowsing "><em>The Disciplines of Dowsing</em></a> for the book-launch at the <a href="http://www.britishdowsers.org" title="British Society of Dowsers">British Society of Dowsers</a> conference this weekend, and realised it would probably be of more general use as well. You&#8217;ll find it up on the Tetradian Books website, at <a href="http://tetradianbooks.com/2008/09/disciplines-ref/" title="Reference-sheet for 'Disciplines of Dowsing'">http://tetradianbooks.com/2008/09/disciplines-ref/</a> &#8211; free download in PDF format, as usual.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a two-page (i.e. single-sheet) summary of the four &#8216;disciplines&#8217; &#8211; Artist, Mystic, Scientist, Magician &#8211; as a useful &#8216;cheat-sheet&#8217; for reference whilst working. The different perspectives and keyphrases that apply to each mode or discipline are listed under the following headings:</p>
<ul>
<li>mode&#8217;s role is&#8230;</li>
<li>mode manages&#8230;</li>
<li>mode responds to the context through&#8230;</li>
<li>has decision-sequence of&#8230;</li>
<li>use this mode when&#8230;</li>
<li>you&#8217;re in this mode when&#8230;</li>
<li>rules include&#8230;</li>
<li>warning-signs of dubious discipline include&#8230;</li>
<li>bridge to other modes with&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>As with the book itself, the aim is to help boost the effective quality of work in dowsing and other subjective skills.</p>
<p>Share and enjoy, folks?</p>
