			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a great presentation by <a title="Nigel Marsh" href="http://www.nigelmarsh.com/" target="_blank">Nigel Marsh</a> given at TEDx Sydney in May, I recommend watching it, it&#8217;s only 10mins long, here&#8217;s a snippet</p>
<p><em>&#8220;the small things matter&#8230; being more balanced doesn&#8217;t mean dramatic upheaval in your life&#8230; with the smallest investment in the right places, you can radically transform the quality of your life and relations&#8230; I believe it can transform society, as if enough people do it we can change society&#8217;s definition of success&#8230; away from the notion that the &#8216;Guy with the most money when he dies wins&#8217;&#8230; to a more thoughtful and balanced definition of what a life well lived looks like&#8221;</em></p>
<p>It dove tails perfectly with one aspect of the &#8220;<a title="Your Small Change" href="http://www.yoursmallchange.com" target="_blank">Your Small Change</a>&#8221; non-profit concept I had a while back, which I&#8217;m rolling out in the coming weeks, so I&#8217;d love it if you drop by the Facebook page in the meantime and clicked the LIKE button to show your interest and support</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years I’ve lived a double life.<br />
In the day I do my job,<br />
I ride the bus,<br />
Roll up my sleeves with the hoi polloi.<br />
But at night I live a life of exhilaration,<br />
Of missed heartbeats and adrenaline,<br />
And, if the truth be known,<br />
A life of dubious virtue.</p>
<p>I won’t deny I’ve been engaged in violence,<br />
Even indulged in it.<br />
I have maimed and killed adversaries,<br />
And not merely in self defence.<br />
I have exhibited disregard for life,<br />
Limb,<br />
And property,<br />
And savoured every moment.</p>
<p>You may not think it to look at me,<br />
But I have commanded armies,<br />
And conquered worlds.<br />
And though in achieving these things<br />
I have set morality aside,<br />
I have no regrets.<br />
For though I’ve led a double life<br />
At least I can say,<br />
I have lived.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the Black Hat Security Conference,  Lookout unveiled the App Genome Project, which is the largest mobile  application dataset ever created. In an ongoing effort to map and study  mobile applications, the App Genome Project was created to identify  security threats in the wild and provide insight into how applications  are accessing personal data, as well as other phone resources. Lookout  founders John Hering and Kevin Mahaffey initiated the App Genome project  to understand what mobile applications are doing and use that  information to more quickly identify potential security threats.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.mylookout.com/2010/07/introducing-the-app-genome-project/" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1476" title="Lookout_App_Genome_Project_Infographic_072610" src="http://brendanmitchell.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/lookout_app_genome_project_infographic_072610.jpg?w=480&#038;h=268" alt="" width="480" height="268" /></a></p>
<p>With the prevalence of mobile devices, they have become inherent in our lives, the more we depend upon the information stored within them, the greater the risks posed when this information falls into the wrong hands. Is this something you should be concerned about? Your Identity Matters, but how much it matters is up to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I received an email from a friend saying how they are fed up with the continual way their line manager treats them, with little or no respect. I hear this time and time again from friends and colleagues&#8230; when will managers realise, if they change their attitude, show genuine leadership and stop being administrators, they&#8217;ll get the results they desire.</p>
<p>Managers often say, &#8220;why doesn&#8217;t my staff do what they&#8217;re supposed to do?&#8221; the simple answer (and one they don&#8217;t like to hear), is because they either haven&#8217;t explained it properly, or they&#8217;re not showing <a title="How To Be A Leader" href="http://blog.brendanmitchell.com/2008/10/22/how-to-be-a-leader/" target="_blank">genuine leadership</a>, because if they had, their staff would do as they ask. Managers have Power &amp; Authority, but that&#8217;s not enough, an uninspiring manager is someone that manages and administrates, a good manager shows leadership and does so by gaining respect and influence.</p>
<p><strong>&#8216;Power’</strong> is derived from position, <strong>‘Authority’</strong> is derived from title,<strong> ‘Leadership’</strong> is derived from behavior<em> James R. Davis</em></p>
<p>We all remember teachers from our school years, and the really good ones stand out, because they were leaders. If you&#8217;re a manager, how do you want to be remembered by your past staff, the insignificant manager that administered, or the person that gained respect and made a real difference to those working with you?</p>
<p><em>Dwight Eisenhower </em>defined leadership as <strong>“Convincing someone else, to do what you want, because they want to do it.”</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve written about this before in my post <a title="Follow the Leader" href="http://blog.brendanmitchell.com/2009/03/02/follow-the-leader/" target="_blank">Follow the Leader</a> in essence it comes down to this <strong>Anyone can lead, it isn’t about having authority, it’s about gaining trust &amp; respect through the correct behaviour.</strong></p>
