“Burnout has less to do with workload and more to do with internal and external leadership anxiety.”
Steve Cuss, Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs

Neil Postman
“Together, this ensemble of electronic techniques called into being a new world—a peek-a-boo world, where now this event, now that, pops into view for a moment, then vanishes again. It is a world without much coherence or sense; a world that does not ask us, indeed, does not permit us to do anything;”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

Neil Postman
“It may be of some interest to note, in this connection, that the crossword puzzle became a popular form of diversion in America at just that point when the telegraph and the photograph had achieved the transformation of news from functional information to decontextualized fact. This coincidence suggests that the new technologies had turned the age-old problem of information on its head: Where people once sought information to manage the real contexts of their lives, now they had to invent contexts in which otherwise useless information might be put to some apparent use.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

Scott Sauls
“Tim never had a market-share mentality about Christians in his city, and he never targeted members of other churches, either overtly or covertly, so as to lure them to his own church.”
Scott Sauls, From Weakness to Strength: 8 Vulnerabilities That Can Bring Out the Best in Your Leadership

Neil Postman
“the assumptions controlling a news show are “that bite-sized is best, that complexity must be avoided, that nuances are dispensable, that qualifications impede the simple message, that visual stimulation is a substitute for thought, and that verbal precision is an anachronism.”[3]”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
