Warcraft inspires management philosophy
The massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft has made its first real contribution to society by offering a geeky management philosophy: Leeroy Jenkins.
The term apparently dates back to 2005 or earlier, but somehow escaped my attention. World of Worldcraft lets gamers team up with other player and scavenge for virtual goodies, and I'm the first to admit that I've never played it.
In the famous episode, a team of players spends minutes cooking up a plan to enter a room full of bad guys over audio an teleconference. As some boring management type is inquiring about the cost-benefit analysis, Leeroy yells his own name, rushes into the room, alerts the bad guys and gets himself and all his team mates killed.
"Leeroy, you are just stupid as hell," one gamer complains when the ordeal is over
"At least I have chicken," responds Leeroy, who left the boring meeting to heat up some chicken in his mom's microwave.
The management philosophy in this is that you have to cut through the bull and shouldn't over-scrutinize business decisions. Some times you have to go with your gut feeling.
Let's just hope that the right people in [enter your employer's name] read this. Chicken is better than sitting in meetings where no decisions are made.

Had been thinking about Lindsey's new vibram fivefingers ever since she posted about them on this blog. When she first sent me a photo of these bizarre looking vibram five,I just laughed at their vibram fivefingers ridiculousness, thinking 'no way I'll ever put those things on my five finger feet! But alas, once I saw them and read about them, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I had to try them for myself. Last week I went to Blue five fingers Ridge Mountain Sports in Charlottesville, VA and tried on a pair of fivefingers kso. I tried both the Classics and the Sprints, but I liked the arch and heel support in the Sprints much vibram shoes better. Like my sister, I impulsively purchased a pair on the vibram five finger spot. Obviously I had to try them out right vibram finger away, so I mixed a little bit of walking and vibram five fingers running in since I had read many reviews explaining you need to vibram five fingers shoes gradually adjust your muscles to barefoot running.Running in these five fingers shoe is amazing. I actually am not a running fan, but these shoes make it feel more vibram five fingers fluid
