I'm not really sure how it happened, but years ago I became a really big fan of Nation Public Radio (NPR). Sure, there is lots of local and national news to be heard, but in addition to the news, I really like the variety of stories about anything and everything. Recently, I heard a story about how some NASA engineers (no kidding around) wrote and recorded a short video about life at NASA.
Apparently, some within NASA's management ranks have responded to employee complaints and other rumblings that life within the prestigious space agency has gone stale. More specifically, NASA's top brass has been accused of being resistant to and afraid of change and innovation. To counter these allegations, NASA management afforded employees a chance to articulate their frustrations.
The folks at NPR aired a story about one particular video which has secured some significant traction amongst NASA's employees as being particularly accurate.
Me, I find that this video - while supposedly illustrative of a government agency - is particularly applicable to many of my experiences within the corporate world.
You can find the NPR story here (and also a link to the video) and then judge for yourself whether or not NASA's perceived shortcomings resonate within your company.
By the way, if you are not yet a member supporter of NPR, you should locate your local affiliate station and donate a few dollars.

Dave! Great to see that you're blogging :) Please post more pictures! the one you posted with Kelly was taken ages ago!
Miss you tons! You'd be proud of me... I'm a supporter and a member of NPR :) Just got my membership card in the mail last week!
Dave! Why is there a picture of Murphy on your blog, but not Moo-Moo? Doesn't that seem unfair?
P.S. I love NPR.
