THE BIGGEST HURDLE FOR MOST MINORITIES IN CORPORATE America is not getting hired, it's retention and advancement--particularly for minorities who are middle managers looking to move into senior level positions. Ron Parker, PepsiCo's senior vice president for human resources, believes that a major disconnect between company management and minority is culture--both associated with race and a company's environment. Managing the corporate culture forces employees to understand the performance mandates of their position in the context of the company's political structure. With issues of race, cultural differences can discourage open communications between associates, which is crucial for company growth. For example, some minorities may not ask necessary performance questions, because they don't want to be perceived as inadequate. Conversely, some managers are reluctant to offer feedback to minority employees for fear of being seen as racist. "Sometimes, information

Analyze to Paralyze How many of us analyze everything to death....raise your hand! How many of us must have all the facts, all the inside info, all the I's dotted, T's crossed before we can make a viable decision.....raise your hand! How many people Google, Bing, Yahoo, read the paper, read books, double check your horoscope to find out what you want to know/need to know/must know before you go forward with any decision that you perceive is "major?" Raise your hand. Me too....except for the horoscope part. What happened to spontaneity and impetuousness? What happened to not worrying and taking a chance? Geesh. Did I get old or did I just grow up. Here's what I know to be true: Sometimes it's a really good thing to be cautious. We sometimes make better decisions when they are processed with deep-rooted perception after we have pursued an avenue wrought with months of insight and forethought. But oft-times we over-think things to death. Or, if I was to quote the

Was Yahoo's Terry Semel The Worst Internet CEO Ever? (YHOO) We like Terry Semel. He was friendly to us in the brief period in which our Yahoo-Analyst / Yahoo-CEO careers overlapped. As Yahoo shareholders, we also enjoyed Terry's early years as CEO, when Yahoo worked its way through its post-bubble collapse and the stock jumped about 7X. So we will begin this brief essay on Terry's horrific mistakes by giving credit where it is due. Terry got to Yahoo at the time when it needed his skills and experience the most: When it was reeling from the bubble-bursting and in desperate need of both adult supervision and crisp decisionmaking. In Terry's early years, the company turned its display advertising business around, and--for a brief, happy period--almost regained its 1990s mojo. Alas... Then came a series of mistakes that has left Yahoo in today's desperate straits, barely able to control its own destiny. Terry doesn't bear direct responsibility for every one of thes
