But still, we get discouraged.  It’s human nature.

		<description><![CDATA[By Jim Hessler In the business world, certain ideas take hold in people’s minds perpetually. These axioms are taken as true without questioning, in part because they are repeated so often by so many people. One of these unquestioned truisms: “A manager should maintain an open door policy.” I challenge you to question the value [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepathforward.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9562605&amp;post=222&amp;subd=thepathforward&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The lighted fuse was the Cuban Missile Crisis.  An American spy plane discovered that the Soviets were placing nuclear missiles in Cuba — within easy striking distance of the United [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepathforward.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9562605&amp;post=214&amp;subd=thepathforward&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Real coaching is powerful.  It produces an ROI of roughly 6 times what it costs the company, according to a number of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepathforward.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9562605&amp;post=205&amp;subd=thepathforward&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
