		<description><![CDATA[The world is clearly changing and with it business as usual.  Survival of the fittest will require not simply change but transformation.  Although it may seem that everyone is jumping on the sustainability bandwagon it is more than a fad, it is a natural and organic part of the transformation of the global economy from “greed is good” to “doing well by doing good.”  There is a strong business case for a sustainable approach to managing an organization.  Companies that have embraced the principles of corporate responsibility or sustainability have significantly outperformed the S&#038;P 500 and even an index created of “Good to Great” companies.  Employee engagement is at the core of sustainable companies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has the prediction of the end of the post-industrial revolution come to pass?    There has been an ongoing transformation of the U.S. economy away from industrial, manufacturing-based activity into a primarily service-based socio-economic structure.   The decline of the manufacturing sector, the global distribution of capital, and the dominance of service-based employment characterized the end of the 20th century, with explosive changes ignited by the Information Revolution. We have to face the fact that we may never "recover" the economic conditions that prevailed for most of the past few decades. Your best resources for immediate input on the changing economic climate, shifting values, and new sustainable perspectives are, of course, your employees.  What will it take to have your employees engaged in a process of continuous rethinking, refinement and alignment to the market? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dirty little secret that no politician wants to acknowledge, and only a few economists are courageous enough to declare, is that spending will be altered, if not permanently, for a long time.  We are transforming into a "new sustainable economy."  Consumers will only spend for things they need or that add value.  Businesses that offer these products and services will survive and businesses that don't will cease to exist.  What lies ahead will be a transition to sustainability in every aspect of our work and our personal lives. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It takes a village to survive in difficult times.  The wagons have to be circled, the gates of the fortress locked, and all able bodied citizens must prepare for battle.  A new contract must be forged with the workforce;  "if we all just stay focused, creative and hopeful we can get through this together."  This has to be more than talk.  Just like Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland rallied the gang to put on a show that will save the day, today's leaders must inspire workers to achieve the impossible.

		<description><![CDATA[While attention is being paid to the sensitive handling of victims of layoffs, survivors need love too.  Past economic downturns have taught us that a company must be proactive and engaged with survivors to avoid productivity losses, decision gridlock and a deadening of creativity and innovation.
