		<description><![CDATA[It must be indisputable by now that the world of work we accepted as normal just a few years ago, has gone forever. The talk when the world&#8217;s economies began to dissolve in 2008 into the thin air of which they were largely made was that we&#8217;d ride out the bad times to a recovery. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having a blast lately. Interviews and research for Building a Happy Sandpit are well underway and as I dig deeper into South African business culture, I am discovering more-or-less equal amounts of what I might call over- and under-thinking on the subject.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a world where networks defeat hierarchies. There are any number of people who depend on their position in a hierarchy for status.

And for many people, especially in some of the more traditional cultures, social and professional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish I was more disciplined. As a control-monger who is singularly poor at long-term focus and therefore at the retention of control, my life is one of constant stops and starts. I seize on a notion like a cat on a mouse, but unlike a cat who will allow its prey to wander off [...]]]></description>

Put the right children into your sandpit and they&#8217;ll play together for hours, building sandcastles. They may build very elaborate ones.

I&#8217;ve done a stack of interesting things in 42 years and by many standards, I&#8217;ve done pretty well and been pretty lucky. What&#8217;s surprised me recently however is the realisation of how few questions I can answer about my reasons [...]]]></description>
