Great info on how the world has changed, in part, due to the aid we've given 3rd world countries since 1960.

Love this post! One thing I've noticed when I get back from an extended vacation is my expectations for myself, my coworkers and my company go up. It is a little like moving to a new house and, after having lived in it several years, you don't start to notice the little nicks in the paint and things that don't quite work right anymore. You become used to it. Once time is spent away from what is familiar and you return from a place where everything is different, you may wonder why things are not living up to their potential. Cognitive dissonance sets in and either validates the direction you were already heading (and renews your purpose) or uncovers the need for change.

Some great analysis and graphs about the underemployment issue. A scary stat: "There are now roughly 8.8 million Americans receiving disability benefits, a number that has doubled since 1995."

Everyone can "invest in respect," but managers have a special duty to "root out disrespect" and "give people the feedback they need to succeed." Great article.

Sounds basic and like common sense...but, unfortunately, it isn't. I especially like the "integrity is a habit" comment. I've found this to be absolutely true.

This is a great list of tips - most of them I do now but it always helps to have a reminder.

Our country is changing very rapidly! With these changes comes great opportunities (and risks.)
