Size
is Not a Strategy
The faster big
business cleans up its ethical mess, the sooner we can address the real
crisis of capitalism. Giant companies dominate the landscape -- from media
to medicine, banking to broadband. But talented people don't want to work
for them, customers hate doing business with them, and Wall Street doesn't
want to invest in them. A candid appraisal of why so many big companies (
even the honest ones ) don't work -- and some radical ideas for reform.

Here are the five naked truths
about women in business. Together they add up to one big message: The
future of business depends on women.

The problem isn't that loyalty

exactly what they deserve. Alan M. Webber's great article from Nov.

Leadership in the
New Information Economy :
"Goodbye,
Command and Control,"
In an unpredictable economy,
companies that have a network of leaders throughout the organization are
the ones most likely to thrive. Employees who are given the opportunity to
develop leadership skills are more inclined to take responsibility and
feel pride in their work. When they are empowered to make decisions and be
accountable for their actions, potential leaders take ownership in the
success of the company, and often become superior performers.
Most organizations use
their training investments about as strategically as they deploy their
office supplies spending. And the impact on customer satisfaction,
cost containment or quality improvement is just as useless.
How
to Create a More
Creative Staff
You see it all the time in
sports. A team has low morale, poor performance, and they lose game
after game. Then the owners hire a new manager. Morale goes up.
Performance improves. And the team starts to win games.
