Business executives sit down to PowerPoint presentations based on it, and depressed patients watch the Who Moved My Cheese? video during group therapy in hospital psychiatric units across the country. (Who would have thought corporate America and psych ward programs had so much in common?) The story is about two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two “Littlepeople,” Hem and Haw, who live in a maze of cheese stations, some filled with cheese and others empty. When Cheese Station C runs out of cheese, the two mice immediately search the maze for other cheese stations, while Hem and Haw overanalyze their situation, convinced that one day the old cheese wi...

Only 15 percent of respondents, compared to 28 percent of respondents in CHIME's August survey, believe they expect to qualify in the first six months of fiscal year 2011, which began in October of this year.

You probably won’t be surprised to learn I take the position that government should generally stay out of regulating executive pay (or any pay).  To see my argument, just follow the link.

My response: Absolutely.  It will be an uphill battle, because modern “constitutional law” is so far removed from the Constitution itself, but a win is not impossible.  There are three main arguments.  (1) Under the Constitution, as properly interpreted, Congress has no power to enact such a plan.  (2) The plan conscripts state governments into carrying out and paying for federal mandates.  And (3) the individual mandate amounts to an unlawful capitation or direct tax. The first argument will almost certainly lose, because under post-1937 readings of the Commerce Clause, Congress can regulate anything that “affects” interstate commerce, which at some level ...

The president also...

Reports the Martha’s Vineyard Times: Speaking to a packed house in West Tisbury Sunday night, Kenneth Feinberg rejected the title of “compensation czar,” but he also said said his broad and “binding” authority over executive compensation includes not only the ability to trim 2009 compensation for some top executives but to change pay plans for second tier executives as well. In addition, Mr. Feinberg said he has the authority to “claw back” money already paid to executives ...

Does job stress affect their sleep?Results suggest that female executives may be more prone to sleep problems than male executives. The risk is greatest for women who have isolated, demanding jobs.The study also shows that having a high level of control on the job reduces the risk of poor sleep quality. Social support also has a “buffering effect.” Having a strong network of social support promotes good sleep for women with a high-strain job.According to the AASM, job stress can be a cause of adjustment insomnia. This involves disturbed sleep or sleeplessness that may last for a few days or a few weeks. Other symptoms may include anxiety, worry and tension.How can you prevent job stress from disturb...

I promised I would be sharing some of the key highlights, but we have decided to do something better to do justice to the richness and complexity of the field we cover. We are going to launch an experiment: a Brain Fitness Webinar Series. This inaugural Brain Fitness Webinar Series will consist of 3 free live sessions. The series covers the most fundamental advances in cognitive science and their implications for individuals, companies and organizations. And we are honored to have John Medina lead of the sessions! Each event is independent, in topic and in registration process. Webinar #1: In “The State of the Brain Fitness Software Market, 2008,” I will provide an overview of the s...

At the same time though ... concern grows from both men and women, over the unfortunate fact that too few women rise up in Math, Science and Engineering fields.  To find out why … several top US universities looked for legitimate reasons.  Why the number gaps in math related areas, with so many gifted women around? Psychologists, Mary Murphy and Claude Steele showed how the structures of Math, Science and Engineering settings out there - play a major part in causing this gap. Do you see it too? Check out compelling details of their Stanford study. It turns out …  according to research … that women feel threatened to enter … ...
