by Kent Sterling Zero tolerance is an idiotic dodge, and for every time it’s applied rationally, there are a dozen examples of poor implementation. Black and white rules work for school administrators because the rules remove responsibility for their use, and administrators, like all managers, hate the thought of being blamed for anything. People are […]
by Kent Sterling The week after the Colts beat the Seattle Seahawks, the media went on a hysteric crusade to anoint them as a potential Super Bowl team. That was as absurd last week as those who watched last night’s mess and feel today that the Colts aren’t a playoff team. Click here to follow […]
