328. Remembering The Three W's Of Recruiting Board Members
August 04, 2009
Many years ago, I learned an interesting way to look at recruiting new board members. Although an organization’s bylaws may require consumers, specific types of professionals (e.g., doctors, service providers), or professionals who have certain credentials (e.g., a licensed social worker, certified occupational therapist) to be on its board, examining the three W’s may also be a concept worth incorporating into your recruitment efforts.
The three W’s to remember when recruiting potential board members are to seek the wise, the workers, and the wealthy. Although this mixture may vary ove... (read more)

331. Governors Palin, Sanford: The Dynamics of Workplace Priorities
August 04, 2009
Introduction
I listened to chatter over the airwaves. Talkshow host Armstrong William led a merry discussion on South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford.

346. RFID Chips in Tires and Roadside Monitors
July 27, 2009

Add in roadside monitors for RFID chips which are already in place in parts of the USA and you have the plot. Of course the government is genuinely concerned that you might be driving around with low tire pressure. It seems there are not enough cars with GPS systems to enable e... (read more)

349. Does the United States Healthcare System Need an Overhaul?
July 27, 2009
Healthcare is undoubtedly one of the United States’ biggest challenges today. Having been declared “broken” by experts over ten years ago, the system has still not shown any improvements. Supposed “fixes” promised by managed care have not surfaced. Instead, health insurance premiums are rising, hassles for patients and physicians continue, and more than 45 million Americans are uninsured.
If the challenges with healthcare that the United States faces are not met swiftly and wisely, the current problems will worsen and new challenges will arise. Even considering that new technology, such a... (read more)
