Making Top-Down Decisions Without Bottom-up Feedback Is A Sure-fire Way To De-motivate Employees.
One of the biggest mistakes both new and experienced managers make is making top-down decisions which impact lower levels, departments or individuals within the organization without discovering a bottom-up perspective on whether or how those decisions will work in the long term. Time and time again in my consulting with clients, I have seen top-down decisions arrived at in the board room or on the golf course, implemented without any regard for the reality that existed within the organization. The effect of these top-down decisions can negatively impact:1. Morale 2. Communication 3. Performance 4. Loyalty 5. Turnover 6. Customer relations 7. Profits 8. Sales costs And a whole lot more.I am not suggesting that every decision made in an organization, department, division

Flower Sour: Cupid, Chemicals, And Corporate Social Responsibility
Flower Sour: Cupid, Chemicals, and Corporate Social ResponsibilityA few days ago I had one of those “random” conversations that sets the brain blazing down a hundred different paths almost immediately. The topic was DDT, and how that chemical was bought and sold with impunity in Latin America years after it had been banned in the United States for causing serious health and environmental problems.In the beginning it was the wonder chemical of yore. From getting rid of vermin, to use as an agricultural pesticide, to eliminating malaria, the new potion apparently knew no bounds. Soon however, nasty little pieces of evidence – cancer, birth defects, and environmental hazards – started to spring up against the wonder chemical. Consequently, during the 1970s and 1980s, agricultural use of DDT was banned in the US

Why Immediate-Leveraged-Income?
There is an undeniable shakeup in corporate America; downsizing and layoffs, women hitting glass ceilings as promotions pass them by, large corporations dumping their employee retirement plans, and the frightening “finished at forty” syndrome.If you are employed by a corporate company the battle cry is loud and clear – QUIT before you are let go.But there’s hope. The Internet is the single most powerful force on our planet today. What took radio 38 years and television 15 years, the Internet has done in only 5, reaching 50 million users. Powerful force is an understatement.Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits for Highly Effective People, said: “Network marketing has come of age. It’s undeniable that it has become a way to entrepreneurship and independence for millions of people.”In the

Environmental Level Paying Fields and Mining Issues
With all the environmental controls on mining operations in the United States and the lack of mining controls and other onerous regulations in other countries we have rendered our mining uncompetitive in World Markets. There is no way for a US based mining operation to receive a comparative ROI in within our borders. There are many other factors to consider also, but this is the big one. For instance if your other countries do not have the same rules for environmental controls they can often sell those raw materials to other countries who in turn can sell their finished products, such a specialty alloys, steel, etc. at lower prices than your companies can produce them in the states. Which would appear to be dumping; selling their products for less it costs them to produce them. Many countries prop up such industries with h
