    Overwhelmed and Overworked: The Myth of American Productivity
    Employment finally seemed back on track during the first few months of 2004. Politicians crowed that "Our tax cuts are working." Then, without warning, job growth slowed to a crawl, resulting in a deficit of more than 2 million jobs from that confidently predicted only a year ago. To counteract that dismal p
    aintain outside forces will demand high ethics and a moving away of a focus solely on material gain.

    Therefore, leader get ready. We are entering this moral revolution.

    Why Take Time To Choose Leather Office Chairs?
    You really want a leather office chair. You really would like to impress all of the other employees that you left behind when you moved up through that promotion. In fact, you really want to look like you are important. More importantly, you want that leather option because of just how soft it is. You kn

    As I glanced at the news, I was reminded of the ugliness of humanity. Do we really need another ethical scandal in America? Bernie Ebbers, WorldComm founder, started a 25-year sentence for an $11 billion account fraud. Likewise, HP had its own embarrassing moment with scandals. Recently, HP decided to keep Board Chairman Dunn after the chairman was discovered wiretapping her board. What are these executives thinking when they conducted these transgressions against their corporations?

    Does character count in capitalism? Guinness, a religious authority, explains that contemporary society views character as something that distinguishes an individual; however, biblically, character is viewed as essentially moral. In many cases, character doesn’t count in secularism.

    Most corporations preach high ethical behavior but are sidetracked morally by the bottom-line. Joyner, author of Leadership Management, argues that outstanding leaders fail unless their lives are underpinned with honor, morality, and character. Under the current model, anything goes.

    Don’t expect companies to clean themselves up. However, a wave of moral conduct is coming. Maynard and Mehrten, renowned futurists, maintain outside forces will demand high ethics and a moving away of a focus solely on material gain.

    Therefore, leader get ready. We are entering this moral revolution.

    Why Advertise?
    A lot of businesses advertise, but I often wonder if some of them know why they are doing it. Take the time to look around this week, as you do your grocery shopping, run the kids to hockey practice, and whatever else you do. Who is advertising in your area, and how? If you really pay attention, you’ll se

    Dressing Casual Should Not Be the Norm
    By: Donald J. Eversdyk February 18, 2007The latest fashion trend that seems to be becoming the norm is the way people dress. Whether it is for work, daily activities, or a special event, people are lowering their standards. Seems everywhere I go lately either people don’t care what they look like, a
