UNWIND

WHO RUNS THE WORLD?

Wresting for influence is a very good read for many a UNICEF staffer at work or retired. It is about the effectiveness of the UN and how rising countries and growing threats are challenging the pre-eminence of  postwar global institutions.

Team Solver

How often than not, UNICEF would put a team together to solve or find a solution to a pressing problem. A team leader appoints for the job and he or she stays as the boss of the project. The team leader may not be a specialist in the area of the subject agenda (that is better I think) but may have other expertise that the followers do not have.

The interesting question posed of team leadership is whether it is better to have one leader posted as team leader throughout the project or to rotate team members in the leadership positions as the project runs its course.

LifeStraw - Clean Drinking Water

Does LifeStraw  help to get clean drinking water to the third world in such a simple way?  I hope UNICEF is on the bandwagon?
