    We each work hard all day and the last thing we want to do is think deep thoughts at night, yet you ignore the news at your own peril. GM and the other American car manufacturers apparently didn’t learn their lesson in the 1970s and again were caught not paying attention to news reports. They ignored stories about the aging population and the continuing rise in healthcare costs. They ignored stories of trouble in the Middle East and how that would impact oil prices and consumer’s auto choices. They ignored stories that signaled a change in consumer behavior and a move toward environmentally friendlier products.

    An Exercise in Creating Your Future

    Top Talent Drives the Global Economy
    The ability to make good "people" decisions is today's most important source of competitive advantage.
