Much has been said about the hard road faced by women who seek top spots in corporate America. Many point out, for instance, that women executives still often are paid less than their male counterparts, and that they face stereotypes, such as not being tough enough for the job, that the weakestseeming man does not. But despite these (often justifiable) gripes, women are making it to the top of companies. A women's leadership program is a great way to encourage young female talent in your organization-and it's also a great way to find your next star CEO.

The shoe-pounding incident will be forever embedded in the minds of many Americans who today still feel the chill of the Cold War in that brash gesture.

Though his declaration came across wrong (Khrushchev was probably trying to make an economic point), it certainly did come across.

Death by corporate overview and how to prevent it

As a sales and marketing consultant, I often hear the question, "How much of a company's corporate overview should we include in a presentation?" It's a good question, and the answer I always give is: as little as possible.
