    John Sporing replied to the topic How Do You Prioritize Your Time as a Leader? in the forum Leadership, Management, Supervision 8 years, 8 months ago

    I try to spend my time on what I think is important. I walk around everyday and talk with my people so that I get a feeling of what is going on. By talking with them, I understand what they think is important and I use that to help me plan–whether that means more training, more team building, or changing strategies.

    I meet with my senior…[Read more]

    @22ym5dyw3a6h9The graphics on my page was one of the themes offered by GovLoop. Not sure if they have changed them, but apparently they are somewhere on the system. If I find again, I will let you know where to find it.

    John Sporing replied to the topic New books – who’s reading what? in the forum Ancient Media: Books 9 years, 10 months ago

    Just started reading “Rich, Rare and Red: A Guide to Port” by Ben Howkins. I will be taking a trip to Portugal later this year and he is providing a very good history of Port which is tied very closely to the history of the country.

    Good day to take care of the taxes. Thank goodness for Turbotax.

    John Sporing replied to the topic Steakhouses – Anyone? in the forum Gov Gourmet 9 years, 10 months ago

    I think I am the opposite. I do not think that a $10 burger is ten times better than a $1 Mickey D’s burger. But I think that a $30 Ruth’s Chris steak is more than twice as good a $15 Outback steak. Perhaps that is just the economist in me trying to measure my utils! 😉

    Most of my presentation slides are photos with one or two words. Thus a complete print out of the slides…[Read more]

    Here is DC, I like the Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse just North of Dupont Circle. While it is a chain, and the food is great (if pricey), there are two things about this particular location I like:
    1) It is in several old row houses that have been converted. The atmosphere is very romantic and old school–not so much brass and shiney things that you…[Read more]
