Mark Your Calendar & Make Plans to Attend the 34th NTP in Chicago

From a recent article in the Harvard Management Communication Letter, "Travel budgets everywhere have been cut, and the conference business is reeling as a result. Managers are expected to do more with fewer resources in less time, and conferences just don't fit into that picture. How can you justify taking a day or two away from the office when you're buried in work, everyone's running scared, and the budget is already pushed to the limit?"

"The answer is you have to find a way. Precisely because you're running faster and faster to stay in the same place, you need to step off that treadmill occasionally--to get perspective, to remind yourself why you're in the business you're in, and to get new ideas. The biggest mistake you can make when you're drowning in day-to-day detail is to keep flailing. You need to get out of the water."

With all the downsizing, realigning, reorganizing and outsourcing going on, we sometimes need to take time to rejuvenate and get a fresh perspective. The NTP in Chicago might just be the opportunity you’ve been looking for. Surrounded by participants who are looking to improve civil service, advance their careers, and find new ways to do more with less, ideas abound!

Maybe its time to get off that treadmill and out of that deep water for a week and head to Chicago!
