The Buzzard, The Bat & The Bumblebee
The BUZZARD If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

The Outdoor Billboard Business - Common Landlord Mistakes to Avoid
In the outdoor billboard business, there is a certain amount of trust that goes into a billboard ground lease. The landowner doesn't really know you that well, and the amount you are offering is not that huge. In addition, there is the unwritten assumption that you will not do anything to displease them. Since most billboard ground leases have some form of termination provision, and will definitely require negotiating a renewal in the future, you would think that most billboard owners would take a little more effort to protect their interests. Sadly, however, many don't.
Employee Freedom, A New "Old" Paradigm
In 1994 Jim Belasco and Ralph Stayer wrote Flight of the buffalo which focuses on learning to let employees lead. In 2009 Brian Carney and Isaac Getz wrote Freedom, Inc. which focuses on how to free your employees and let them lead your business to higher productivity, profits and growth.

As Gen-Y begins to take over leadership in the majority of American business, these concepts of employee empowerment, self-management and flat structure will be their demand.

Success in the 21st century demands employers embrace this new "old" paradigm.

A Tip About Paint
Advantages range from a softer, more luxurious appearance to improved touch up abilities. One of the greatest features of flat finish paint is its’ use on ceilings. Since no ceiling is perfect, I advise my students to always use flat paint on ceilings as it will help conceal irregularities which can be highly visible in certain light. Since ceilings rarely get touched, a cheap grade of flat is perfectly fine to use as burnishing, staining or other weak features won’t likely occur.
