Owls

The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

What do you do if you find an injured owl?

It depends on the bird and it depends on the injury. First, as much as you want to help, approach carefully. Some birds may be ill-- and they might carry parasites or bacteria that are harmful to humans. Other birds might be scared, and not realizing you just want to help, they could peck at you. Additionally, some baby birds may seem injured, but in reality, they are fine-- wait a while and observe how the bird acts: if it can walk or hop, chances are it wants to find its mother; there's an equally good chance the mother is going to come back for her baby.

If a bird seems seriously injured and you fear for its safety (like, you don't want a cat or a hawk to eat the bird), approach it quietly and carefully. You may want to put it gently into a small box that has ventilation so the bird can breathe, and then seek medical help by contacting a trained wildlife rehabilitator. Unless you have expertise in animal rescue, your best bet is to call your local Audubon Society or Animal Rescue League and ask for instructions about what to do. They may be able to come and give the animal the medical treatment it needs to recover.

What type of managemnet style do you work best with?

There are three philosophies of management that I subscribe to:

1. Situational Management - the style of management needs to adjust to the situation.

2. Management by Exception - typically 80% of an organization will run itself, so the manager needs to focus on the exceptions (the areas that are having problems).

3. Ideal Management - a manager should groom his organization to run itself. Remove the obstacles that prevent workers from getting their job done or that make them inefficient. Management is a non-contributive overhead for the company and should be eliminated whenever possible.
