The word describes a corporation’s expressions of environmentalist concerns, especially as a cover for products, policies or activities which are detrimental to the environment or the exaggeration of its sustainability credentials. Greenwashing is the inverse of corporate social responsibility (CSR), a business model designed to help an organization keep itself accountable for the impact it has on its community and the environment. It attempts to positively maximize the former and minimize the latter. Some companies currently at the vanguard of CSR practices include Patagonia , Starbucks and Apple , whose CEO, Tim Cook, announced in a tweet in 2020: “By 2030, Apple’s entire … [Read more...] about How Companies Can Avoid Greenwashing And Make A Real Difference In Their Environmental Impact

The Enduring Idiocy Of Groveling For An ‘A’ Table At A Restaurant
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin At a time when some of the toughest reservations to get are at storefront eateries in Brooklyn with long communal tables, the outdated idea that restaurateurs deliberately design their dining rooms to have “good” and “bad” tables is as preposterous as deliberately writing a novel with good and bad chapters. As every restaurateur will tell you, theirs is a business that depends on the total utilization of every square foot of a room to maximize occupancy, while allowing for flow, décor and the ability of the kitchen to deliver a certain amount of food per hour. peggy hopkins joyce Yes, there once really was such a thing as “Siberia,” a term for a section of a restaurant dining room considered either socially inferior or merely poor seating that was coined back in the 1930s when society woman Peggy Hopkins Joyce entered the class-conscious El Morocco nightclub in New York and found herself being led to a less than … [Read more...] about The Enduring Idiocy Of Groveling For An ‘A’ Table At A Restaurant

What It Means To Lead With Alignment
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin By Tyler Bray, CEO, owner, & founder of The Trailer Parts Outlet . We all know that workplaces tend to have jargon that comes and goes in trends. Lately, you might be hearing the word “alignment” or talk of “aligning” often. Alignment is a key part of my own leadership strategy, but to be perfectly honest, I believe this word gets misused quite often. I want to define alignment in terms of business leadership, and explain how you can harness this powerful tool to go further with your team. Often, you’ll hear people writing or speaking about “aligning” team members as a synonym for getting on the same page about the context and purpose of a given project. Don’t get me wrong, this conversation is critical and prevents hours of correcting old work when done right. But alignment from a business leader’s perspective refers to a more complex strategy. In leadership terms, when you identify a source of motivation in … [Read more...] about What It Means To Lead With Alignment

March wholesale inflation reaches 7.3% as high fuel costs hurt
Representative image A sudden rise in cost of fuel, including petrol, LPG and high speed diesel percolated down into the economy in March as wholesale inflation in the country reached a massive 7.3 percent. Measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), wholesale inflation had been 4.17 per cent in the previous month of February. While it has been on a continuous uptick from December onwards when it was just 1.9 percent, the latest rise shows broad based price rise shot up in March. Economists blame a sudden 10.2 percent jump in fuel inflation as the main reason for this. According to the WPI, after reducing for 11 straight months, overall fuel prices had risen by just 0.6 percent in February. Case in point, petrol prices rose by 18.4 percent in March, compared to just 0.8 percent in February. LPG prices soared to 10.5 percent in the latest month, up from just 0.5 percent in February. "Given the low base of March 2020, the inflation for crude petroleum and natural gas soared … [Read more...] about March wholesale inflation reaches 7.3% as high fuel costs hurt
KKR Sells Minnesota Company And Blue-Collar Workers Get A Piece Of The Pie In Employee-Ownership Program
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin P rivate-equity giant KKR made a splash in the spring when it sold garage-door firm CHI to Nucor for $3 billion—and shared a piece of the windfall from its highest-performing buyout in more than 30 years with the company’s workers who made an average $175,000 on the deal. Today, it doubled down on employee ownership with the sale of Minnesota Rubber and Plastics to Swedish publicly traded company Trelleborg for $950 million. The Plymouth, Minnesota-based firm’s nearly 1,500 employees, the vast majority of whom are hourly workers, will receive between three months and two years of annual pay, depending on their tenure with the firm. “There’s a minimum that we’re shooting for where it’s meaningful,” says Pete Stavros, co-head of private equity for the Americas at KKR. “We don’t think it’s effective to be, like, ‘Here’s $100 in stock.’ At that level, it’s just a bonus. You need to pay people enough in stock to create … [Read more...] about KKR Sells Minnesota Company And Blue-Collar Workers Get A Piece Of The Pie In Employee-Ownership Program
An ADHD diagnosis can be expensive and inaccurate. This company’s test addresses both problems
Despite being a strong student in high school, Sydney Dodini struggled during her freshman year at Brigham Young University. She kept showing up late to lectures and found it difficult to focus during class. When she flew home in the spring, she asked her father, Aaron Dodini, a psychologist who specializes in ADHD testing, to give her a QbTest, an FDA-cleared ADHD diagnostic screening tool that can be done online. advertisement advertisement ADHD, or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, is one of the more common neurobehavioral disorders usually first diagnosed in childhood and which can continue into adulthood.

Editor Daily Rundown: Chief Justice Roberts Finally Speaks And ‘Real’ Unemployment Ticks Up
WHITE HOUSE WON’T CALL OFF THE DOGS… STEVEN NELSON: Psaki won’t condemn abortion protests at justices’ homes or leak of draft ruling (VIDEO) White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday declined to condemn activist plans to protest for abortion rights at the homes of Supreme Court justices — or to condemn the leak this week of a draft opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade. Psaki tried to redirect the discussion when pressed on the potentially chaotic protests at the homes of the court’s six conservative members — three of whom are believed to live in Maryland and three in Virginia. “Do you think that progressive activists that are now planning protests outside some of the justices’s houses are extreme?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked at a briefing. “Peaceful protest? No, peaceful protest is not extreme,” Psaki replied. “Some of these justices have young kids,” Doocy countered. “Their neighbors are not all public figures. So would the president … [Read more...] about Editor Daily Rundown: Chief Justice Roberts Finally Speaks And ‘Real’ Unemployment Ticks Up
The Kentucky Derby: Great Fun And A Must-Do For Your Bucket List
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Famous Churchill Downs racetrack - you have to see it in person to appreciate it. I’ll Have Another, as in I’ll Have Another Kentucky Derby, hopefully as soon as next year. I just returned from Louisville, Churchill Downs, and “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” and I can sum my experience up in one word: Awesome. I’ve been to a lot of major sporting events, including the Super Bowl, and the argument could be made that the Kentucky Derby is the best of all, mainly because it is about so much more than the race itself. Go to the World Series or NBA Finals and you get 3 hours of entertainment. Much of the fun surrounding the Super Bowl is in the form of invitation-only parties and VIP events, not the game. But the Kentucky Derby is the complete package, morning to night fun - for two full days - at a minimum. You don’t have to know anything about horse racing to love the Derby, with all its pomp and … [Read more...] about The Kentucky Derby: Great Fun And A Must-Do For Your Bucket List
