Love or Money?
Among 2,000 survey respondents in the United Kingdom most express that money is currently the impetus for changing jobs rather than satisfaction at work. Might this be because of the recession or other factors? What motivates you most at work?

Natural Managers
When returning home from the Academy of Management conference in San Antonio, on the plane I sat next to a woman who moved to the Syracuse area about ten years ago from India. She made the comment, "Americans are natural managers." She said that everything we do from childhood to adulthood--school assignments, parties, weddings, jobs--are projects to be managed.
What do you think? Is your life-project based? And do you think that Americans are "natural managers"?

Performance Review
A number of television shows have built episode plots around work-related performance appraisals. In The Office, Michael Scott flubs the process in the episode "Performance Review" (Season 2, Episode 8). An even more irreverent use of performance evaluations can be seen in the episode "The Gang Dances Their A$$es Off" (Season 3, Episode 15). In this episodes, Frank decides that the bar needs to be more business-like and decides to implement a performance review system. He uses a ranking system for the bar's five employees, ordering them from best to worst. Of course, he gives the top position to himself. During the rest of the episode, the gang vies to crawl up the ladder.
