Welcome to the August issue of The Business Zeitgeist Newsletter.
Jeremy Torobin reported in the Globe and Mail (Friday, Aug. 20, 2010) "The world’s recovery from the worst downturn since the Depression is losing ground by the day, and the blowback is starting to hurt Canada. The Canadian inflation reading released Friday marked the latest in a string of worrisome reports, raising concerns about the health of the economic rebound."
This is not good news; however, Canadians do not take anything sitting down. If our opportunities are diminishing; we either find other ones or make new ones.
One approach is better planning of efforts focusing on higher gross margin business, in a systematic fashion. EnPower Group works with clients to achieve corporate results quickly. EnPower has helped many organizations. Contact Richard P Shaw at rshaw@enpowergroup.com or at 416-804-5078.

The Power of Asking Why? .... 5 Times |
Submitted by Rick Shaw, CMC, President EnPower Group, Sharing Knowledge .... Growing Value |
Having consulted with organizations from start up's to large corporations since 1993, it never ceases to amaze me that many of the problems that affect businesses today still remain and in fact increase every year. A tremendous amount of resources on direct employee and/or consultants are spent annually on trying to address these "problems". Or are they? Addressing the problems, that is?.

Submitted by Dianne Hunnam-Jones, President (Toronto District) of Robert Half International. |
No one knows how it happens or where it starts, but there are several persistent management myths in continuous circulation.

To help you make sure these fantasies are not contributing to your own management style, this month’s column is devoted to busting five common myths with a dose of real-world advice.

Petryk's Picks - Depression |
Submitted by William Petryk, CMA, reviewer for The Business Zeitgeist. |
There is a very common workplace illness that has been ignored for far too long. It has many names but the most common is depression and clinically it is often referred to as major depressive disorder or MDD. Because it is a mental illness, its very existence and effects on the workplace have not been fully acknowledged. Regrettably, people with these disorders are still stigmatized and this makes curing them all the more difficult.
