Leadership-A Daily Gift
| |
| We awake each day with the incredible gift to lead. Leadership is not pithy sayings, kitschy slogans, or daily calendar quotes. Leadership is taking on the personal responsibility, everyday, to have your actions and deeds be the example that your words describe. Leaders awake every morning with the conviction of person to carve their own path, they call on their own minds to be the lighthouse of guidance. A leader has the confidence, and welcomes the challenge, of standing alone, accountable and compassionate of others. A leader does not say, “follow me”, rather, a leader says, “follow you.” Be reliant, and unwavering with the commitment to yourself, and your own personal truth. |

Abstract - Factors Impeding the Poverty Reduction Capacity of Micro-credit: Some Field Observations from Malawi and Ethiopia
| |
| In most African countries women tend to account for an average 51% of the population, and
make up about 65% of the rural labour force. Thus, many rural based micro-finance programmes
have attempted to address the women specific need for micro-credit. This paper analyses the
effectiveness of micro-credit as a means to reducing poverty, with particular focus on women,
and demonstrates, through the critical analysis of some country-specific examples, that the use
and supply of micro-credit does not always lead to a sustainable impact on household or female
poverty reduction. Analysis of findings are done based on field data, interviews, and observations
from Malawi and Ethiopia. |

Does your international company consider an expansion into the US
| |

It is possible to quantify in advance what your operating costs are likely to be, and find which facility location will optimize costs, access to qualified labor, customer service, and shipping.

Rural Broadband In America
| |
| Rural Americans spend most of the first thirty years of the 20th century in the dark. By the early 1930’s only ten percent of the rural population enjoyed the benefits of electricity compared to over 70% of their urban counterparts. Most of the electricity available to farmers was provided by cooperatives – groups of residents who laid the line, set up and maintained the systems as public utilities had little desire to spend what was necessary to serve so few. With the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901-950b) rural electric development took off. Most of the loans the Act made available were given to these local cooperatives. Today, electric cooperatives own and maintain almost half of all distribution lines in the country. |

How to Achieve Success When You Miss an Opportunity
| |
| On November 5 when the Alabama-Crimson Tide played the LSU-Tigers, Alabama had many missed opportunities; they missed four field goals. These missed field goals proved critical since LSU ultimately won by three points. Losing by such a narrow margin made the pain of missing the field goals hurt even more.
We have all experienced missed opportunities. However, it is important to keep playing the game. When you fumble or make a mistake, you have to think like a football player and concentrate on the next play. Instead of continuing to focus on the fumbles, it is important to concentrate on the recoveries you can make.
