With A Tin Cup For A Chalice, Fill It Up With Good Red Wine

Slainte!As is my habit at this time of year, I'm taking some time off between now and Labor Day to recharge the batteries, do a little bicycling, spend some time with my daughter before she goes back to school, and just generally relax.  So MNB will be on hiatus...but we'll be back on Tuesday, September 7, with all-new, handcrafted news in context and analysis with attitude...not to mention plenty of Eye-Openers designed to challenge conventional thinking.

Hope you enjoy these last days of summer...I know I will.  (In fact, I already am.)

Slainte!

SAMUEL J. ASSOCIATES. THE RIGHT SOURCE FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

If we can believe the economists, the recession is winding down. Prosperity may not be around the corner, but it is in the distance...and getting closer. Which means that there is no time like the present to make sure that your organization has the right people in the right positions...ready to make the most of opportunities and challenges.

If we can’t believe the economists, and things aren’t going to get better anytime soon...then there is no time like the present to make sure that your organization has the right people in the right positions...ready to make the best of a tough situation.

Recent economic struggles have revealed the weaknesses and strengths of the people in your organization, and now is time to act on that knowledge. To put the best people possible in the positions that matter, and then to train them, coach them, nurture them and challenge them in a way that inspires excellence, achievement and sustainable success.

Samuel J. Associates can help facilitate this process and propel your company into the future...whatever it holds.
