*****To encourage a good writing and to inspire a good idea, you must have good readers and sincere friends!*1 One of the example has been shown at the bottom paragraphs of this feature article.

"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*2 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways."

"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace."*3

There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do."*4

"Dear Tony & Judy:
I enjoyed immensely reading your WBTI website materials. Thank you for letting me know that one day we all can close our eyes and envision a world that is safe, peacefilled and healthy.

Wang is the Regent of Pacific Lutheran University and Chairman of the Wang Center LLC.

"Tony,

As you requested, I am sending Peter's proposal for your review.

It would benefit THE MANKIND greatly. Read it and think what you can help," wrote Dr. Bob Ni.*7 Dr. Wang, Dr. Ni, and Dr. Lei are all alumni of the first class of Tunghai University.
