The Supply Chain?s Troika Of Trouble

Image
The global supply chain in transporting goods relies on three inextricably linked types of transportation: maritime, rail freight and trucking. Each one can be considered a bridge from one to the other over hard infrastructure which allows goods to be transported from manufacturer to its final destination. In the present-day landscape all three are alarmingly weak and vulnerable. It has been extensively reported and documented that the maritime and trucking industry have difficulty in securing enough equipment and personnel to meet new demand because of extensive furlough of personnel, shortage of trained personnel and imbalance of availability of equipment. Little mentioned and equally critical to these links is freight trains which is an indispensable component in hauling imported goods from ports to major cities and distribution points as well as the domestic transport of agricultural products. SHIPPING & PORT INFRASTRUCTURE Ocean freight consists of 85% of total global tra

The Writing On The Wall Episode 180: Directionismalityness

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Your Legacy is Now Life is not a search for meaning from others, it’s about the creation of meaning for yourself. For over 30 years Alan Weiss has consulted, coached, and advised everyone from Fortune 500 executives, state governors, non-profit directors, and entrepreneurs to athletes, entertainers, and beauty pageant contestants. That’s quite an assortment of people, and they run into the thousands. Most of them have had what we euphemistically call “means,” and some of them have had a lot more than that. Others have been aspiring and with more ends in sight than means on hand. Alan Weiss states: I’ve dealt with esteem (low), narcissism (high), family problems, leadership dysfunctions, insecurities, addictions, and ethical quandaries. And I’ve talked about them through the coronavirus crisis. But don’t get the wrong idea. About 95% of these people have been well-meaning, honest (to the best of their knowledge), and interes

An Opportunity or a Predicament?

Image
It’s been a long time since I addressed this subject. The opportunity to actually do it hasn’t happened recently, so you should know that the situation I’m about to describe is fictitious, not factual. Still, the situation does happen periodically and knowing how to handle it when it does happen is worthwhile. I’m playing $2 NSU at the South Point and a lady next to me is playing $1 9/6 Double Double Bonus. She’s dealt A? J? 3? Q? K? . She doesn’t know me, but since I’m playing my game rapidly (by her standards) she assumes I’m knowledgeable and she asks me whether she should hold four or five cards? The answer is easy. The flush is worth $30, and I know that four-to-the royal is worth a bit more than $92. The only reason I have that number memorized is because I teach classes and we discuss this situation in every class.  I tell her, “Drop the 3, say a prayer, and go for it! I can’t guarantee it will work this time, but it’s the best play.” She mutters something like she’s been l

What is an Emotionally Intelligent Manager?

Image
In 1995 Daniel Goleman made the term emotional intelligence popular when his book, Emotional Intelligence remained on The New York Times bestseller list for a year and a half. According to Goleman there are five key elements of EQ, the popular moniker for emotional intelligence: Self-awareness – knowing one’s strengths, weaknesses, drives, values and impact on others Self-regulation – controlling impulses and moods Motivation – loving achievement for achievement’s sake Empathy – understanding others’ emotions Social Skills – building rapport with others to move them in desired directions Unfortunately most managers are promoted based on their technical skills according to San Francisco-based Susan Schwartz, leadership and management coach and speaker, and author of Creating a Greater Whole: A Project Manager’s Guide to Becoming a Leader.

The Correlation Between Consumer Sentiment and the S&P 500

The University of Michigan reported a recent plunge in its Consumer Sentiment Index. Contrary to what you might logically expect, this is actually a positive for the stock market. Analyst Mark Hulbert notes that the American consumer is a fairly reliable contrarian stock market indicator, and calculated the data in the chart below. More often than not, large declines in consumer confidence have been followed by above-average stock market returns. ?As Warren Buffett says - it is wise for investors to be "fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."  Adblock test (Why?) source http://www.expertclick.com/NewsRelease/The-Correlation-Between-Consumer-Sentiment-and-the-SP-500,2021260514.aspx
