Lasting Impressions: Peter Drucker on Effective Leadership
“The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say “I.” And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say “I.” They don’t think “I.” They think “we”; they think “team.” They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but “we” gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”
-Peter F. Drucker

Does What Happens in Vegas Always Stay in Vegas?
Photo by K. Beard of ABGPrint.com
Actually, not this week! Las Vegas plays host to some of the most cutting-edge and glamorous conventions in the United States of America. Yesterday, January 28th, over 150 companies converged on the Planet Hollywood Hotel for AppForum 2013 – a conference for emerging digital printing technology. AppForum’s presenters and vendors put on a grand display of the newest disruptive technology in the printing industry today.
According to the director of this trade show, Dave Erlandson, “This Year’s AppForum will renew its focus on innovation and on emerging and future technologies… Owners and executives come to [AppForum] to get updated on the latest trends and opportunities before they set their strategies for the new year.”
Over the three day conference, the team at ABGPrint.com will be keeping their eyes on the new products like collateral management services, cloud technology, digital packaging and variable data printing innovations that are all making their debut on the Vegas Strip. Dynamic panel discussions on topics like digital solutions and innovations in interactive printing have caught ABGPrint.com’s management team’s attention much more than the blackjack tables; for bringing the newest technology to our customers is something ABGPrint.com does not see as a gamble.
Lasting Impressions: Books Breaking the Shackles of Time
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof the humans are capable of working magic.”
-Carl Sagan
