Lesson #2: Build Strategic Partnerships
“Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none,” said Franklin.

Lesson #5: Do Well by Doing Good
“He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue,” wrote Franklin. “A good conscience is a continual Christmas.” Despite being wealthy enough to retire comfortably by the age of 42, Franklin continued to pursue civic projects and carry out benevolent acts throughout the rest of his life. He staunchly believed that the good life was achievable in direct proportion to one’s contribution to society and thus, from universities to hospitals to firehouses, Franklin dedicated his resources to giving back.

Can Emerging Markets Follow China's FDI Growth Recipe?
China's ability to attract massive amounts of foreign investment does not derive entirely from its economic growth rate or the size of its population, observed Stephen J. Kobrin, Professor of Multinational Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA. Rather, China leads the developing world in liberalizing its foreign investment policies, he noted. Felipe Larra Bascu Professor of Economics, Catholic University of Chile, Chile, challenged this view, saying he believed that it was China's large marketplace, high growth rate and low costs rather than its investment policies driving FDI. Between these extremes, Paul A. Laudicina, Managing Director, A.T. Kearney, USA, said that interviews with his firm's clients revealed that it was both the size of China's marketplace and its policies that were luring investment.

Leadership Strategies Is it Normal To Be Abnormal?
Hey leaders, PAY ATTENTION! This is a great time of year to really take some private time and think about how you want your company and team to work together in the future. So I'd like to tell a personal story. We just had a fabulous holiday party at The Country Place, our retreat center in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Now, we have owned this place for two decades and it is on 400 acres in the midst of nature with tons of trees and a spring fed small lake (or large pond).
