Do You Foster Helplessness or a by David Lee - Jan, 2010 In these rather challenging times, you need ALL of your employees thinking and acting like winners, not throwing up their hands in defeat or metaphorically curling up in the fetal position.

If you are in a small company with lots of “lifers” where many of the roles are set, an external move may be your only option.

Skirting Around Risk Taking - Why Giving Voice to the Word Matters by Dee McCrorey - Jan, 2010 I read the Harvard Business Review blog article "How Do Innovators Think?" with its focus on "inquisitiveness".

Workplace Communication Trends for 2010 by Suzanne Bates - Jan, 2010 I’ve been scanning the internet for 2010 workplace predictions and it’s got me thinking about how all these trends are going to change the way we communicate. It’s my birthday - and I remember when you needed a carbon copier between two sheets of paper in a typewriter to make two copies of my television scripts.
