When one considers mentoring, the image of a seasoned corporate sage conversing with a young recruit comes to mind. Although there is a grain of truth in this statement, real mentoring is simply when someone helps another learn something that she would not learn if left alone. Mentors are trusted advisors who draw from their own personal experience to offer guidance.

I wish it never happened to anyone and I hope it never happens to you, but in my job I hear it almost every week. It’s a word we are afraid of, one which can destroy, and certainly a word which breaks many hearts — and sadly — many marriages never recover when it occurs. Sometimes people admit to it, but mostly they try to deny it. Yet, the impact on the marriage is certain every time.

As Juan Manuel Fangio exited the chicane before the blind Tabac corner in the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, he stomped on the brake. It was a counterintuitive reaction for a racing driver exiting a corner — but one that likely saved his life. By slowing down he avoided plowing into a multi-car pile-up, which was just out of sight beyond the turn. In racing folklore, Fangio’s evasive action is considered a miracle.

One of the first songs I heard my grandfather sing was the fable of John Henry. It was a bittersweet song from a poem that told the story of a steel-driving man who won a contest pitted against the new fangled steam-powered drill and then died from the stress of the match. John Henry’s job was driving a spike into rock to create a hole large enough for dynamite to be placed in order to create the Big Bend tunnel for the C&O railroad in West Virginia around 1870.

Yet from the posting of suggestive photographs on social networking sites to the impulsive broadcasting of illicit activities on Twitter, consumers’ behavior often suggests a remarkable lack of discretion. This “privacy paradox” has also been documented empirically — in various lab settings , people who indicate serious privacy concern nevertheless reveal intimate details of their

To move from a reactive posture to a proactive leadership position in driving health care reform, large employers have a lever at their fingertips that they have not often deployed in procuring health care: their purchasing power. Providers and health plans are service suppliers paid by employers. Employers can readily apply market forces and supply-chain tools to improve the performance of both.
