How to Build a Winning Team

How to Build a Winning Team by Jack and Suzy Welch

This is a well written piece on how to manufacture a successful team. I came across this article last week while reading it in the Newsweek. This article provides a fantastic perspective about not just winning in your professional career but at home. Keeping a balance between the two can be difficult.  New undergrads are rarely exposed to team work during that mandatory  BUS 1000 course in college . While many corporate leaders just don't know how to make a winning team. This article will help you understand the qualities needed to be the best team out there. The link below leads to the full article.

Afghanistan Withdrawal


Posted below is a video clip from the Charlie Rose Show that aired on [6/22/2011]. The commentators are Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations and David Ignatius of the Washington Post who discuss President Obama's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. It's worth watching because it answers many questions that weren't addressed by President Obama in his most recent speech on withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. This clip highlights the projected consequences of the American draw down including how will it impact both Americans and the people of South Asia. Will the American economy benefit from cuts in War spending? Watch and see. Enjoy.

U.S. drone strikes

Some would argue that U.S. drone strikes are counter productive and helping terrorist recruit disfranchised victims of collateral attack by the unmanned drones.
