		<description><![CDATA[this is the first in a series of quixotic articles that I will post this week, based upon some observations and ideas that I shared since January 1st.
or: open-ended idea sharing (as usual, under &#8220;creative commons for attribution&#8221;- i.e. use as you wish, but remember to quote&#038;link the source).

		<description><![CDATA[I do not believe that there are any rules &#8220;cast in stone&#8221;, when it comes to social media online.
Whatever looked as innovative or defined yesterday, will become obsolete or questionable by tomorrow: it is the nature of social media, where the audience interacts with the medium and, due to the relatively low cost of introducing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January 1st, when I started drafting this post, it was a double holiday in Western Europe: the beginning of a new year, as well as a Sunday (well, at least- that&#8217;s my perspective).
Meanwhile, in the world at large, it can have also other meanings, from a remembrance day for a past event, to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that there is another export that we Italians shared with Europe: the &#8220;paranoid attitude&#8221; and absolute refusal of constructive criticism: as if change did not require first knowing where you really are, and then deciding where to go and how to get there.
Otherwise: you risk running in circles- and your target becomes a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, a negotiator is not really a neutral third-party.
In my experience, (s)he can be representing one of the parties involved; be in reality a mediator between two parties; act as a match-maker (sometimes due to her/his interest in the successful outcome); or even be working nominally for one of the parties involved, while in reality [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Change is complex, and, in my experience, each change initiative has to cope with a unique mix of issues: a formulaic approach, striving to &#8220;recycle&#8221; what you did before is the best recipe for failure.
First small note- target: &#8220;change&#8221; here is focused mainly on public and private organizations (including political parties and advocacies), not individuals [...]]]></description>

Somebody could say: who are you to write about this subject? My reply? An ordinary citizen who did spend few decades studying organizations and societies to be able to give a better [...]]]></description>

I said that I would have posted the reason why I asked to carry it out on August 15th, but I eventually decided to [...]]]></description>
