The Space Between Supervising Closely and Delegating
As a leader, where do you spend most of your time? If you really want to know, ask your direct reports. You might be surprised at what they have to say.

Networks in 2020: More Traffic, Less Energy
The tools that make this possible include new devices, components, algorithms, architectures and protocols, Klein said. All have been proved in labs, he said. The potential energy savings represents a comparison between a 2010 network with that year's traffic levels and a theoretical 2020 network with projections of traffic amounts for that year.
