Some of the gap can be attributed to career choice: more women than men choose to go into teaching and social work, for example, which pay less relative to "male" professions such as finance and technology.

Henry Chesbrough's seminal book on the topic wasn't published until 2003. The unsolvable problem that has become the "white whale" of my career's own captain story was posed by Nick Donofrio, IBM's senior vice president of technology (and official protector of innovators) a year before I wrote "Breaking Out."

Björk is the Icelandic singer-songwriter who, by 2003, had sold 15 millions albums. Brown and Björk had enough altitude to glide to career's end. The accidents of industry, technology, and the marketplace gave us the 3-minute song bundled in multiples of 6 or 8 or 10 songs. She is now the editor of Newsweek and The Daily Beast.

At first, the causes of free fall appear to be external: a global financial crisis, a banking system collapse, government deregulation, or, more common, a new business model or technology harnessed by a nimble insurgent competitor.

By 2003 I could no longer speak intelligibly or walk, and any muscle control became more difficult as the disease progressed. Take, for instance, my IM exchanges with a technology manager at a financial services firm. He wanted to advance in his career, but he thought his stormy relationship with his boss was holding him back.

Ultimately dubbed the Technology Incubation Scheme (in Singapore, a scheme is a good thing), the program helped bring a flood of diverse investors into the country by offering to put up 85% of the capital in a start-up when investors put in 15%.

from 1994 to 2003. Consultants by definition spend most of their careers as outsiders, guns hired from afar to help clients shoot at problems. As technology makes networks tighter and easier to put together, does the risk of contagion increase proportionally? Let us be fair to the man and the firm he headed.

Greenspan had a long career as a private economic analyst and forecaster behind him when he was appointed Federal Reserve chairman in 1987. The technology-stock bubble of the late 1990s and its subsequent deflation were among the defining events of Greenspan’s tenure. Why Fed chairmen can’t do research. They are not.
