Nice sharing Adnan, When times get tough, leaders often make the mistake of focusing only on one thing: the immediate bottom line. Great leaders, however, continue to operate in the long term as well as the short term, and maintain focus on people...

by George Anders W hen William Crews picks up his paycheck, it’s hard for him to force a smile. Gone are the days when booming car and truck sales helped him earn more than $100,000 a year as a financial-services manager at a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealership in Wendell, N.C. In 2008, his gross pay shrank to $76,000—a recession-inflicted cut of more than 25%. And 2009 didn’t start off any better. “Our family is juggling bills as best we can,” the 41-year-old Crews says. The Crewses have cut back on vacations, meals out, and other spending. Each month they wrestle with which bills to pay and which to put off a bit longer. “That hurts a lot,” he says.  What People Earn 2009   •  Real People, Rea...

  Stay Liquid: In down times cash is king. Review credit policies for customers and take credit from suppliers. Increase cash discounts for customers if required.   Enhance customer relationships: One to one close relationship with customers is a must. Build relationship with all customers including small customers which you may not have got enough attention during economic boom. Listen to customers, know their situation and accept their demands and complaints wherever possible. Build up their confidence level.   Don’t sack employees instead try to build up their confidence level. Sacking employees lowers motivation level of employees and creates an atmosphere of fear and mistrust which is bound to affect work. It also spoils public image of the company in the market. If required implement pay cuts and freeze all pay hikes for all employees. Start pay cuts from the top to create a good image.   Review all expenses in all departments.   Keep costs as low as possible. Review all...

Human Genome and Economic environment This month’s ‘Scientific American’ gives a detailed article on Genetics. It says the human DNA gets replicated by an enzyme called ‘dna polymerase’. There are two visible cycles for this enzyme to replicate the dna(dna polymerase cycle) and one to correct errors(exo nuclide cycle)  in our dna genome. This genome cycle is activated by external causes(knobs) which can be anything from heat, dust, dirt, filth, cold etc; etc;. The pressure caused on this enzymes can inhibit dna replication and error correction. If one applies 35 pieco Newton pressure on this enzyme motors called ‘nano motors’ can cause inhibition. Since if errors are not corrected due to undue pressure on the enzyme then one can fall sick to errors in our dna which is caused at birth or incorporated randomly as ones replication process progress. So if the economic environment of a nation is not designed properly for welfare all sorts of pressures on the human inhabiting that region...
