84. You Have to "Bitch" a Little to Get Your Way
November 27, 2012
Getting one’s way can happen in various ways. We have techniques, some that work, and some that are far less effective. While in the steam room at my fitness club, I overheard a conversation about how one gym-goer (Joe), and several of his comrades, were able to change a policy in just one day of no...

88. A Conversation with ... "I can't retire- My Wife loves Shopping too much!"
November 12, 2012
I had a casual conversation with a colleague recently over dinner, and he discussed that even though he is in retirement age, it’s unlikely he will take this option because he wife loves to spend.

90. A Conversation with . . . The Committed, Long-term Employee
November 05, 2012
How is long-term defined? As we know, the generations before ours were known for being loyal to their concerns. Today, most of us find it somewhat humorous to say that we will commit even five years to an organization. The times have changed? What is different, though? Is it because the tide has...
