CHELSEA — It’s cold and rainy in London again. It feels like a typical day. Which is perhaps what is leading to the contemplative mood of the papers this morning. Lucy Kellaway has written a column this morning about the recent children’s report and how it has changed the way she looks at [...] “It is easier to run a revolution than a government.” PICCADILLY — I have long said that I hold UK public servants in high regard. I think they are a class apart. People with excellent levels of learning and dedication. I don’t think they are always right, and I have other opinions about the administration of government, [...] LONDRES — Les recherches indiquent que près de 100 % des employés croient bien faire leur travail. Toutefois, seulement 50 % d’entre eux indiquent connaître les objectifs d’affaires de l’entreprise. En d’autres termes, chaque jour, un employé sur deux fait quelque chose de très bien mais ce n’est pas nécessairement en ligne avec les objectifs d’affaires de son entreprise… Hum, [...] HAMMERSMITH — I don’t know why we have been talking about this a lot in the last few weeks, maybe it’s the season. Maybe people aren’t sure what to do in 2009, so they’re focusing on annual events. But we have been talking a lot about big business strategy meetings. Some companies have or will cancel them. The [...] THE BEACH — The weather report in the United Arab Emirates is always the same. On weather.com it just have a yellow circle every day. Sunny, sunny, sunny. In the more conservative The National, which I have been reading today, it’s more circumspect. It says ‘mostly sunny’ every day. But the weather [...] MALL OF THE EMIRATES — It’s hard to keep up. A few hours ago we launched A duty of care to a great, stand-up crowd at the Able and How offices in London. About 80 people came by and we had a lovely evening. We talked about the need for better management in the average workplace. How managers have [...] SHAFTESBURY AVENUE — The papers today seem disproportionately rammed with celebrity business owners and CEOs. There is no doubt that we love “human” stories. And a good personal narrative seems to suit us just fine. But why do we have a gurning Stelios, Michael O’Leary in [...] TCR — I have asked quite a few people, since I had this idea. Including some people who should know. And so far I don’t really have an answer. But, quite a few people have said that they can’t come to the actual book launch, but would check out the ‘virtual launch’. [...] WINDSOR — GM, the papers say today, spent $6.9B in the third quarter of this year. Of course it did. This year General Motors celebrate their 100th anniversary. They say they will be bankrupt in a few short months. The unfortunate truth of modern America is is you have no credit, you can’t get no car. It’s a serious thing. [...] Squatters in Mayfair. Circa now. LONDON — In many ways it has been a depressing old autumn. In others you think we get ourselves into these messes. And you wonder why we do that. Earlier this week there was a column in the Times that caught my attention. |
