How to turn a public speech into an emotional journey
|
Emotions are a powerful tool for any public speaker, writes Vikas Jhingran. When writing a speech, it's important to have a clear sense of the journey on which you want to lead your audience and the final emotional state in which you hope to leave them. "These emotions will make your message memorable and will catapult the audience to act," Jhingran writes. SmartBrief/SmartBlog on Leadership (5/29)

the fall and rise of artie t. demoulas
|
The disastrous ouster of Arthur "Artie" T. Demoulas as CEO of Market Basket shows the importance of happy employees and local leadership, writes Duane Dike. Angry workers demanded the return of their beloved boss, and -- thrown into financial chaos by continuing protests -- the company is selling a controlling stake back to Demoulas. "People are your most important competitive edge. Make them happy and the rest is easy," Dike argues. Management-Issues (U.K.) (10/6)

| Help wanted (a lot): home-health aides |
The Wall Street Journal: Dolores Streater works in one of the fastest-growing professions in the country. It is also among the lowest-paying and most-demanding. And, not coincidentally, it has particularly high turnover. Ms. Streater is a home health-care aide. ... No major segment of the workforce is expected to expand faster in coming years than that of the paid caregivers who assist aging Americans at home. The jobs typically don't require a high-school diploma, there is little required training and the average workweek is 34 hours. The U.S. Labor Department predicts the profession will grow by nearly 50%, or the equivalent of nearly a million new jobs, by 2022 (Portlock, 8/22).
