SPIM
Regional Meetings
SPIM members in the Virginia-Maryland-District of Columbia area
had its Regional meeting in late October. The event was sponsored
by the Gallup Organization and Hay Group, and featured Dr. Eric
Haseltine, former intelligence officer and entertainment executive,
formally trained as a Neuroscientist. He has applied new discoveries
about the human brain to diverse fields such as Aerospace Technology,
Virtual Reality, Special Effects, and most recently, Intelligence
and National Security. Dr. Haseltine's talk was entitled, "Winning
outside the box starts by looking inside your skull".
He described four emotional and perceptual hard-wired blind spots
that all human brains have and described how to find opportunities
hiding in those blind spots. He then provided case studies of
leaders who turned potential big wins into actual big wins by
working with these blind spots and weaknesses rather than fighting
them.

Obituary:
Anthony Broskowski, Ph.D.
February 27, 1941 - October 3, 2010
Anthony
(Tony) Broskowski, Ph.D., was the second President of The Society
of Psychologists In Management. Tony was executive Director of
the Northside Community Mental Health Center in Tampa, Florida
when, in 1984, he and Dick Kilburg, Ph.D. pulled together a group
of psychologists who had chosen to pursue careers as managers.
That meeting marked the beginning of SPIM.
Tony
was an unusual man. He was a down to earth intellectual, a master
of technical languages, and simultaneously, a person able to build
bridges, make stable and enduring connections among the persons
with whom he worked and taught. He was a kind of “glue”
that held people together. Tony was committed to improving the
delivery of mental health services, moving seamlessly from theory
to practice and then reshaping and revising theory in the light
of what he learned in actual practice.
Tony
will be remembered by his empathy and persistence, his ability
to stimulate others with his curiosity, creativity, compassion
and sense of humor. Under his leadership, they were energetically
courageous, willing to try new ideas, and above all, ready to
evaluate them ruthlessly. He was a scientist/practitioner in the
best sense of the word.
It
is impossible to duplicate Tony’s life and his contributions
to SPIM. His wife, Sue Proctor, has made a contribution to the
SPIM Foundation in Tony’s memory. In this way he will be
remembered and his life’s work will be extended.
