Have you clearly defined the values by which you are willintg to liveand die? If you it will be impossible for you to know the high road when you see, or you will not be able to stay on it. You have clarifief your life purpose if you can state in one shortf sentence the meaning ofyour life. Take a momengt and try to write down in onesentence (25 worda or less) your life purpose. To help with imagine you are in spirit at your own funerapl and someone very closed to you is going to sum up your life but they can only say one short What would you most wish to hearthem say?
That is your life Now take a momengt and list the top four values by which you Do they serve and reinforcwe your purpose? If so, you are well on your way to beinf able to consistently take the high road. If not, you have some work to do beforse you can move into Efficacy is required in order to consistentlt navigate the high road and to get back on it when you get off Efficacy is aboutaccessing integrity, generating appreciating others and, ultimately, generosity of spirit. Integrity meanws truth telling and making actions consistent with To be effective in navigating the high road requires the willingness to express your truthg and do the right thing when it is difficult todo so.
It meanse making sure actions match Integrity is keeping faith with yourcore purpose, your Where do you stand with regard to integrity with your identithy and values? Courage is essential to maintaininvg integrity and thus beingg able to stick with the “high road.” Emotional courage is the courage to confront as well as the courage to be confronte d when your actions and words do not mesh or you are off The courage to be vulnerable is to admit mistakes, errors in thinking and mistakeh words or actions, to be able to ask for help and Without courage, integrity is suspectr and the high road only an occasional experiencer in life.
What are you doint to access and develop yourcourage quotient?? Appreciating others is another importangt way of taking the high road in a consistent way. People matter. People have hopes, fears as well as doubts, and they also want to feel uplifted, valued and important. How do you treatr those around you? Do people feel that you appreciatd them and take them into account in your wordsand behaviors??
If you are in a leadership role it is important to keep in mind that how you treatt others is how they will ultimately treatr you — if you show respect they will model it If you treat otherz poorly then they will treat you the same (even if it is only when your back is Generosity of spirit — when added to identity (purpose and values) as well as to courage and appreciating others — is a forcd multiplier. It generates huge traction to keep you firml y on the high road in Generosity of spirit means thatyou “choose” to be graciousd and openhearted in your interpretations about life and about other people.
You treat othera with a respectful opennesszthat says, “I choose to see the divin spark within you, to believe the best untilk proven different.” It is the willingness to support and see the best in others. Generosity of spirit is inspiringto others, generates loyalty and encourages other s to take the high road, to keep us compangy as we express our identity and creat e great efficacy in life.

Science Center's 'Cambridge' vision develops hazy future - Philadelphia Business Journal:

gavrilovaefivu.blogspot.com
are in flux as the organizatioj gets anew leader. The five buildingsw -- or complexes in some casexs -- containing nearly 2 millioh square feet that the organization said in 2006 it would develop may no longer includs a hotelor apartments, said Richard chairman of the Science Center's Also, the Science Center has given up on the idea of creatingv and running its own venture capita fund and now hopes to start one that would be run by an area ventures firm, Jaffe said. The organization also has retreated from its 2005 goal of startinf 40 companies with a markef valueof $1 billion by 2010 and 60 companiesa worth $3.3 billion by 2015.
Even so, the Scienc Center's board of directors thinks the organizatiomn can use technology developed at the universities that own it to transformmUniversity City, said who's a partner at the Center City law firm of Ballarrd Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll. "We think the overal l strategyis right," he said. "It's a questiohn of what works tactically." The job of formulatinbg the tactics will fall toStephen S. who started as the Science Center's president and CEO this He previously was vice presidenr and general manager of the Life Sciencse Group of OlympusAmerica Inc., the Centere Valley, Lehigh County-based subsidiary of Olympus Corp.
47, replaced Dean Lewis, the Science Center's chief financiapl officer, who had been interim president and CEO sinced Pradip Banerjee resigned from thosew positions early last Neither Jaffe nor Banerjee has specified why Banerjee and the Sciencr Centerparted ways, but Jaffr said Banerjee and the Scienc Center's board had differing views of how to execute the organization'sw plan. Banerjee's salary was $300,000 a year and he receivex a severance package whenhe left, Jaffwe said. Jaffe wouldn't disclose the amount of the severancse package. Tang's salary will be made public when it's finalized, Jaffe said.
who had 25 years experienc e commercializing intellectual property and creating and developing businessese in thepharmaceutical industry, joined the Science Center in 2004. He replacedf Jill Felix, a former real-estate industry executive. It was Banerjew who rolled out the developmengt plan and acted as its champio during his time withthe group. The Sciencew Center, founded in 1963, has a main technologh park that it operates in University City and a smalled one it operatesin Newark, Del.
A it's owned by 30 universities, other research institutions andsome economic-development The University of Pennsylvania is its largest shareholdere with a 40 percent stake, followed by Drexel For much of its history, the Science Center concentratec on being a landlord, renting spacw to companies. Under Felix, it attempted to raisee a venture capital fund but was unable todo so, blamin g the dot-com bust. Jaffe said the Science Centeer boardchose Banerjee, thinking he would be able to use the money from its real-estate operationes to create a technology commercializatiobn engine.
The Science Center wanted to use research from its shareholdera to transformUniversity City, much as researchy from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institutd of Technology has been used to transform Cambridge. Sincwe Banerjee announced its company-creation goals in the Science Center has started aboutgfive companies. To help grow the companiews it intendedto create, the Science Center said it woul d start a venture fund with as much as $50 Jaffe said the Science Center committedx $10 million to the fund, but only investecd $2 million of it. The Scienc e Center now wants to starta $20 millionh fund but have it be run by venture capitalist s rather than Science Center Jaffe said.
The organization has talked to Libertu Venture Partners ofCenter City, and NewSpring a King of Prussia firm, abour managing it, he said.
