Balance in the news

I appreciate balance. It's a concept that comes with many definitions and many dimensions. This is how I actually view the concept when I say that it is important for leaders to "Stay balanced."

I'm not alone in my desire to seek balance. Here is a carnival of balance from this morning's Google news:

• Bank rescue program seeks to find a balance.
• Arts groups working to strike a balance.
• Obama Interview: Wall Street was out of balance.
• An exuberant balance between music and dance.
• Nintendo finally balance the 'demand-supply' equation for Wii!
• Finding a work-life balance is harder than ever.

People and organizations in many areas seek balance. It's complex. It's desirable. It's multi-dimensional.

Finally, the balance in the news that I was most excited about this morning is quoted in the Star Tribune of Minneapolis and St. Paul in an article titled, Lots to like in lineup. On the 2009 Minnesota Twins lineup,

It's a lineup balanced with lefthanded, righthanded and switch hitters, and balanced with speed and power potential.

Balance also gives hope.

Thanks for reading. Please lead quietly. Stay balanced.
