Reversal of fortunes of business leader - fate or lack of successors

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

As we observe trend in family fortunes, one can not help but notice two setbacks:   cancellation of franchise for their huge media company -  it is bleeding huge.  And the backing of off of two probable buyers backed off from the purchase of its another media company.

Well it has sold its interest in energy.   But the more important development is that there no able business leaders among its new generation.  So inheritance of PHP is not a guarantee for success.  Capable men, successors are.

Want to reduce turnover? Try buying more beer
The advertising industry has a high employee churn rate, so Paul Venables, founder of the Venables Bell & Partners agency, decided to start celebrating when workers stuck around. Five-year veterans receive a beer stein and a $1,000 tab at a nearby pub, which they often spend carousing with more recent hires. "There's a great cross-pollination of people and values and ideas. I think we're up to 38 old-timers by now," Venables says. The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (6/30)

Leaders come in 5 flavors, researchers say
There are five leadership styles upon which executives depend, according to a recent study. Some bosses have a gruff, "tough love" approach; others are nurturing mentors, hard-working single-minded leaders or "country clubbers" who get things done by networking and charming those around them. Whatever your natural style, you'll achieve more if you're able to borrow from other modes of leadership as the situation demands, writes Andrea Kay. USA Today (6/29)

How to help workers cope with open offices
Open-plan office spaces are all the rage, but cubicle-free workplaces can prove distracting and take a toll on productivity, says Gensler workplace-design chief Janet Pogue. Balance things out by providing meeting spaces where employees can gather without disrupting others, private spaces where they can escape distractions, and common spaces where they can mingle with others, Pogue says.

After the downturn, one fabric maker is on a roll
Wisconsin-based fabric maker Monterey Mills laid off most of its employees during the recession but, unusually, still set aside resources for research and development. The firm has come up with a way to make collapsible paint rollers, potentially allowing the items to be shipped in bulk and overseas. "We believe it is the most dramatic innovation that's been done since the '40s when paint-roller fabric was introduced," says Monterey Mills executive Brent Birkhoff.

How medieval people named their pets
A survey of medieval texts reveals that people in the Middle Ages gave plenty of thought to naming their dogs. Aristocratic names such as "Nosewise" or "Holdfast" reflected dogs' skills as hunters. Feline companions didn't get the same attention, with generic or color-based names predominant. Medievalists.net (Canada) (6/23)
