		<description><![CDATA[Every once in awhile, my second favorite publication, Harvard Business Review, serves up some fascinating content that leaves me scratching my head and wondering.  In addition to some excellent content, the April, 2009 issue summarizes a couple of potentially pointless studies in the Forethought section. 

One asks: “Are Great Companies Just Lucky?” and the other serves up, “Employee Happiness Isn’t Enough to Satisfy Customers.” 

Both articles offer up some interesting premises and are backed by well-pedigreed professionals that seem to have conducted a fair amount of research to conclude that luck is important and employee happiness is not the silver bullet of customer satisfaction. 

My reactions range from, “OK, and the point is…?” to “Huh?”<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2009/04/14/dumb-luck-and-employee-happiness-one-works-and-the-other-doesnt/' addthis:title='Dumb Luck and Employee Happiness-One Works and the Other Doesn&#8217;t?

		<description><![CDATA[While it has never been substantiated that the explorer and leader Ernest Shackleton actually placed this ad, these few short sentences have taken on a life of their own.  They read:

"Men wanted for hazardous journey.  Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful.  Honor and recognition in case of success.”

There are those in this world that run towards these types of opportunities and others that run away as fast as they can.  I’ve always been inspired by individuals that look beyond the here and now and issues of the moment to see and seize the opportunity to do something great. <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2009/04/08/help-wanted-visionaries-and-dreamers-safe-return-doubtful/' addthis:title='Help Wanted: Visionaries and Dreamers-Safe Return Doubtful ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week’s jolt of energy is taken from a great interview with Jim Collins in the April, 2009 issue of Inc. Magazine.  Collins connected with Inc. editor, Bo Burlingham to share views on the state of our world, building great businesses and entrepreneurship.  

The entrepreneurial focus is relevant for many that have either been pushed into this world through downsizing or are considering it as they grow weary of the uncertainties of corporate life.  And whether you are a budding entrepreneur or not, the insights, guidance and reminder to dream and act big are appropriate and inspirational.
