Not everyone is a good mentor and anyone wanting to use one needs to know what a mentor is. I have trained and worked with many mentors and there are key criteria's that they must abide by. They are not parents, they should not tell the person what to do or be watching over their shoulder. I much prefer to align new managers (or any leader) with an executive certified life coach outside of the organization because it Read More...

Keep in mind that ESPN3 carries most college football and basketball thinking games and a digital antenna will pick up the games on the broadcast networks (FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS). NBA, MLB, and NHL can all be gotten on Apple TV. I haven't cut the cable yet but I've been deliberately watching sports off of cable to see if it works - it's very unusual that I have to go back to regular TV to watch something. (Pretty much only Read More...

This goes to the heart and the loose construction of the euro. I remember when the ECB was created. The interpersonal conflict was between the German and French view of its purpose. Germany wanted an independent central bank protecting the euro and preventing inflation. The French wanted an institution more adapted to European politicians. The solution was that a German would start at the top and then being succeeded by Read More...

I think this could ultimately prove a positive trend as video interviews can dramatically reduce travel costs tips for interviews both hiring companies and job candidates. It also allows companies to tap a wider range of job seekers over greater geographical distances. I admit I still like to meet my candidates in person as I feel that I get a different vibe from them than I would on camera. Plus, online interviews could Read More...

Incentive packages are very tricky. They don't often serve their purpose in the business world. Incentive packages in business often tend to reward revenue or profit boosts, or cost cutting. And all three of those things can be done quickly by executives to reap these incentive rewards, but actually cost the company in the long run because they were spurious and short-term. The most important thing to do is to tie incentives Read More...

Nice job Mr. McGurn. A very refreshing take on the merits of the free market at a time when the bureaucratic-minded mindlessly attack its alleged failings. The business partnership formed by Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson did what a thousand well intentioned government regulations and a million well intentioned government regulators could not. By acting in their own self interest, this innovative business ideas business Read More...

Ethan. The knife was not found in the apartment. The knife was in the boyfriends apartment. Why would two drug crazed satanic rapists use a knife how to break up with your boyfriend slit someones throat and take it home to wash it and store in a drawer? Mignini built a fantasy that doesn't make since. He had already focused on Knox and her boyfriend when Guede fell in his lap with his DNA inside Kercher. It appears that Read More...

Good column with some very valid points -- too bad he didn't speak up before his own campaign was affected. The author should chide Democrats, who for decades have pushed to make voting easier and easier, in part by letting people vote earlier and earlier (which disadvantages of technology challengers who can't afford to get their ads on the air until closer to election day). All in the name of increasing voter turnout. Read More...

Good point. I doubt fannie May will be cutting any checks for maintenance, taxes, etc. I deal with a lot of property management firms and that's their job. As long as the property generates enough cash flow management flow to pay the bills and with no mortgage to pay, their should be plenty of cash flow. It's a good idea that doesn't kick people out of their homes (especially in winter), generates some positive cash Read More...

What a joke! Environmentalists come in all stripes, and labelling them as Communists is simply a cheap way to discount them. While I am not a strong environmental degradationist, I have concerns about our continued dependance on oil, primarily for the long term impacts on the environment, not the risk of further oil spills. I don't want a two tier economy, just one that is somewhat sustainable. If we keep polluting our Read More...
