Some want their 'just' rewards; others just want rewards

But several years ago, it was deja vu all over again when I sat down with a Midwestern family to help them sort through a tangle of business tensions that were eroding their family relationships.

The senior family members' hard work and sacrifice had produced a multimillion-dollar business and a very comfortable lifestyle for themselves and their three children. However, their demonstration of the cause-and-effect relationship between wealth and work had flown right past two of the three siblings without making any impression.

Their oldest son, call him Charlie, was in elementary school while Dad was putting in six or seven 14-hour days every week. By the time Charlie reached adolescence, a younger brother and sister - let's call them Bob and Susan - had come along, and Dad's effort was beginning to pay off handsomely. more

The “51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them” is released

Most business books are like gym memberships: lots of initial enthusiasm and not much meaningful action. These books are great in theory, but any theory is useless unless put into practice. We all “know" we need to exercise, and we all know we need to revise our business procedures. This book is not designed to be another business book selling you on the business equivalent of the benefits of a health club membership. Done wrong, a business book is nothing more than theoretical generalities that get you “juiced up" but have no real impact on you or your business. Done right, a business book should energize you AND leave you with tangible action items to make your business better. This book is not about whether or not to go to the health club, but what to DO when you walk in the door. You need to move past the temporary excitement of a new idea and into permanent gain created by making meaningful, lasting changes. more

Voting Question: Is this letter acceptable to send to a school system?

I am former student at **** High School, successful business owner in town, and published author. According to the United States of America Constitution, my first amendment is freedom of speech. I encourage you to read this letter through the end. Within the past 2 years, I have been bothered by the idea of the poor educational system in ****. **** elementary and middle schools seem to operate smoothly, except **** High School. I must say, the High School was the worst four years of my life. Teachers hustling here and there, overcrowded workloads, and how could we leave out the awful administration. I understand that each school system must have an administrative team and enforce rules however; the current conditions at the High School are unbearable for students. Getting more focused within my letter, I will focus my attention on the administrative staff at **** High School. Your office clerk, ****, is absolute nightmare to talk to. Her goody too shoo attitude is a turnoff to all. In fact, when I was in high school, about 2 weeks prior to graduating, she raised her voice to me. Remarks like I should not graduate because I could not read the 2 inch by 2 inch note card on the overcrowded office door are no ways to treat your students. My action taken was to send my parents down to yell back. I should have called a meeting between her and the town officials. I have never been so embarrassed in my life, where so many people and fellow graduating class heard me. I strongly believe that by having Kathy around in the office hurts the whole school system as a whole. Strongly consider he credentials and consider moving someone more professional and more caring into that position. Also her weight is not healthy for the amount of yelling she does. Excessive weight and yelling leads to high blood pressure which leads to heart stress, which leads to heart attacks. As I wish this doesn’t happen to anyone, I strongly consider taking the stress off **** and giving it to someone else who is fit for the job. Nothing tops the time when the principal would forget the pledge of allegiance over the morning intercom… how unprofessional of the school. Nothing yells failure like forgetting your countries own pledge. Your intercom system is a bit soft in some rooms. I suggest making them a bit louder. Bullying among other students was a huge part of daily life in **** High School for me. I was always being picked on. Day in and day out, I had to endure comments that would hurt my reputation and potential future for business. I should have sought legal help for issues involving my reputation as I work very hard to keep my reputation strong. As teachers heard the comments being made, nothing was done about it until I took action in the office. Turning the kids into the office did nothing for them. Suspension? Sure kick them out of school, where were the police. I had my backpack and social security number stolen and passed around the cafeteria??? I have seen several teachers hurt by specific people mentioned in this letter. The apple does not fall to far from the tree. With the administrative department in power, I feel that **** High School will always be a complete failure. It will take a long time to re-build the reputation that has been lost in my eyes from the educational system. Let me suggest some areas to work on to improve your rankings within the community. •You could turn up the loud speaker, so everyone can hear it. Some students in your school are hearing impaired. Don’t you think that you should make your school good to all students and not just the ones who are fine. •You could remove the unnecessary workers from the office. **** especially. No one wants to deal with her on a daily basis. Rude, impolite, and stuck-up spells disaster all over her office desk. •You could stop being so strict on your policies. Some more than others. Parking, no need for overpriced, retarded parking places. These are high school students, not CEO’s making a million dollars a year. Lower the price or do away with the parking permits. •Be more giving on your late policy. Car accidents, sickness, and family issues, etc. are unpredictable. If I recall right, **** just hands out detentions like she’s giving tampons to an audience of young ladies. “One to everyone will cure everything.” I mean, are you serious? Such a bad way to run a school system!!! •If kids have a problem, raise their voices at staff, don’t follow the dress codes, etc, just simply give them a warning. That’s all, if the problem consists, the do something about it. Students may start to complain that they feel like they are in boot camp. I don’t blame them. •Many more issues can be seen throughout the school. Why be so harsh to these kids? Maybe it will give you something to think about. In 2010, I plan on writing my second book published by a well known agency, sellable in Barnes and Noble, Borders, Am more

Resolved Question: Does it really matter what your school is ranked?

I attend Bentley University, #30 business school in the nation. I would like to go to Harvard Business Schoolor another top tier school for my MBA after I graduate sometime. For top Graduate Business schools, how much does it matter where you went to school? Is #30th good enough to get me into one of these school granted I have the experience and grades. If I can, should I consider transfering to a school that is higher on the rankings? I'm just wondering that even though my school is fairly prestigious, is moving up a little higher going to make a big difference? Thanks more

Resolved Question: If I get in Stanford's undergrad, will I have a better chance of getting in the graduate program?

Stanford has been my dream school since my Freshmen year.. I want to major in business but I just heard that Stanford's undergrad programs aren't even that good. They focus more on Graduates. is that true? I don't see Stanford (or Harvard or Yale or Duke or Princeton) in the business undergrad program rankings on US weekly. but Stanford's business grad program is like AMAZING GOOD if I still go to Stanford as an undergrad, will I have a good chance of getting in their graduate program? more

Resolved Question: [Desparate] I am in between Brandeis and Babson college... For GSB in future, which one to go?

Now, I asked same question already.. but it seems like I should give more details. I am incoming freshman. I have ambitions for Graduate School of Business. I am targetting Chicago/Harvard after graduating from undergrad. (I was rejected from these schools for undergrad) I am hell bent on going to GBS Looking at money granted, and school rankings, edu quality, it pretty much boiled down to 2 undergrad schools: Brandeis U, and Babson Business. If I go to Brandeis, I am thinking of majoring in Math and Econ b/c they have strong econ and math, and I really like both. (and good at it). If I go to Babson, which is one of good business school with 10% admission rate, I will likely to major in Econ and Entrepreneurship (Babson is #1 Entrep for 12 consecutive years followed by Harvard and Stanford in this criteria) Now both schools have pros and cons. But I would like to focus on the advantages that I would get in terms of going to GBS Harvard or Chicago, assuming I did equally good job for 4 years in two schools. I could take classes at each no matter where I go since they are very close by. I hear I should go to Liberal Arts Brandeis U to open myself to opportunities... But if I am hell bent on going to top GBS, wouldnt it be better idea to get Business Degree on top Entrepreneurship in US? But all things considered, one of econ prof at Brandeis told me GBS actually prefer students with lib arts degree, and that I should learn how to read and write at lib arts college first to become more well rounded person to succeed in life. JEEEZZZ!!! I dont knwo what to do, and I know the decision I make will create differences!! HELP ME more

Resolved Question: University of Exeter or Brunel University?

Hey People! I am going to graduate from high school in june and have just got accepted in both University of Exeter and Brunel University for Business & Management. I know Exeter U is much better in term of education than Brunel, but I have heard that it is a very small town with not much to do in terms of entertainment (clubs, bars, recreation, shopping...). Brunel is far behind in education rankings and student satisfaction rankings but I heard their is lots to do their. Is Exeter's entertainment facilities that bad that the education should be overlooked? Is Brunel's Business course not as bad as people say it is? I am totally confused as I will be spending 4 years at my chosen university and I want to have a good education but also some fun. I have never been to any of the universities myself and will not be able to do so (I live in HK, busy with the IB Diploma). Your experiences and opinions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kavi AgarwalBtw, The exact course is Undergraduate Business & Management (3 or 4 year sandwich)I was also wondering how Exeter City area is like? Is it big? Quiet? Young? more

Resolved Question: Any rankings of University of South Carolina Upstate or Coastal Carolina University Business Schools?

I'm torn between these two schools. I've been accepted to both. I only have about year and a half left at either school to graduate with a business degree.

Are there any companies that do rankings on smaller business colleges? more
