		<description><![CDATA[Friend and Rollins College Professor Rick Bommelje recently shared four things that every employee wants to know. With his permission, I share them with you here: What am I supposed to do? The fastest way to confuse a workforce is to speak in grandiose, visionary language.

		<description><![CDATA[Trust is a topic I’ve addressed many times in the past. The reason I like to talk about it is I believe it is the bedrock upon which every successful organization is built. And I believe the way in which we build trust with our customers is critical. Webster’s defines trust as a “confident expectation” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the Congressional Super Committee recently failed to reach consensus on major budget cuts, pundits were quick to accuse them of “kicking the can” down the road. An oft-used phrase that basically translates as deferring a decision in favor of a future date. Before you dismiss this malaise as a disease unique to bureaucrats, consider [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nov. 23 marks the first anniversary of a car accident that left me hospitalized for the better part of a month. Recovery was slow, but I’m glad to report that I am now almost completely healed. Upon returning home from the hospital last December, our daughter informed me that paying bills and accomplishing other mundane [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up in Ohio, we lived in a former apple orchard. As a result, our home was ringed by beautiful old apple trees. The blossoms in spring were beautiful, but the fallen apples in fall my brother and I had to pick up, not so much. One memory I especially savor is the family of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Seth Godin’s analogy about his dog, Woodie. When they first acquired the pooch, they installed one of those invisible fences to keep him from wandering away. Woodie probably got a shock once or twice from the collar when he attempted to leave the yard. The electronic barrier eventually broke, however, and Woodie was [...]]]></description>

She and her mother had visited a Chrysler dealership the day before and had picked out a 2010 Jeep Compass as a possible contender.
