Navigating inflation: A new playbook for CEOs

 Few chief executives have faced the challenge of leading a company through an inflationary spike like today’s. Lessons from strong leaders and bold action can help CEOs make the decisions that only they can make.    Last year, policy makers, economists, and financial-market participants fiercely debated the higher inflation then under way. Was it a transitory problem, caused by dislocations from the COVID-19 pandemic that would inevitably fade, or was it a more fundamental and potentially permanent shift? CEOs told us that they viewed this debate as detached from the business environment in which they operated. For them, higher inflation was already “permanent enough” to start asking whether a fundamental shift in the way they led and managed their organizations was required. We agreed. In the first months of 2022, it became increasingly apparent that this year and next—and possibly longer—inflation rates well above the approximately 2.0 percent that plann...

Meet the psychological needs of your people—all your people

  As record numbers of workers quit their jobs, companies are busy trying to figure out how to make working conditions at their organization more attractive and more sustainable. Many companies boast flexible hours, good benefits, and, of course, higher pay. And some go further, looking closely at how roles in the organization can fulfill people’s psychological needs. Business leaders recognize these emotional needs—whether it is the sense of reward workers have when they accomplish something, the frustration they feel when being micromanaged, the anger they experience after being treated unfairly, the longing they feel to be part of a group, or the desire they have for their work to be interesting and meaningful. Yet many leaders mistakenly believe that only other professionals who have enjoyed similar success—and the financial rewards that come with it—truly value the nonfinancial aspects of their work. As we show in this article, that is simply not true. ...

Brands jump onto the A2 cow ghee bandwagon

https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/brands-jump-onto-the-a2-cow-ghee-bandwagon/article32387285.ece  Tired of being afflicted with allergic rhinitis since childhood, Girija Kumar decided to try A2 cow ghee (ghee made solely from the milk of desi cows) instead of refined oil to cook her daily meals, on the advice of an Ayurvedic practitioner. Two years later, she is free of her sneezing bouts, runny nose, red itchy watery eyes and swelling around the eyes. Girija then went on to buy three desi ‘Swarna Kapila’ cows and two ‘Gir’ cows which are raised in her farm on the outskirts of Bengaluru to ensure a daily supply of A2 cow milk and ghee for her family. “Antihistamine medicines just provide temporary relief. My immune system received a big boost with the daily consumption of A2 cow ghee and milk. My husband and kids do not fall sick every other month any more” she told BusinessLine . Ghee is a $500-million industry in India. While there is no data available ...

Select Classical Music

 Through dogged questioning of my experts I managed to wrangle out the beginnings of a rough consensus on ten of the greatest works from the classical canon. Listen to them and decide for yourself. 1. Bach: Mass in B Minor Profundity of spirit and joyous celebration in one of the most stirring works in the history of sacred music. 2. Beethoven: Symphony #9 Transformation of darkness to light with a spectacular finale; Beethoven’s setting of Schiller’s text celebrating the brotherhood of man is awe-inspiring. 3. Mozart: Requiem Considered by most to be the supreme work for chorus and orchestra. Ironically, the Requiem was finished by Mozart’s student due to his untimely death. 4. Chopin: Nocturnes These intimate piano compositions will suffuse your soul with moonlight. (Try to find the heavenly recording by pianist Arthur Rubinstein.) 5. Brahms: German Requiem The scope of expression ranges from monumental echoes of the eternal to extremely personal and comforting. 6. Mahler: Sympho...

INSPIRATION

  I. "Some things are a job, others are a craft. The primary difference is not the task, but the enthusiasm and curiosity put into the task. The more engaged and interested you are, the more it becomes a craft." ​II. "It only takes five minutes to break the cycle. Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored. It doesn't take much to feel good again." III. "Nobody accomplishes anything significant alone. But nobody accomplishes anything significant by accident either. Just because you need others doesn't mean you can wait for others to make it happen. You have to act as if you are a force of nature and try to bend the universe in your desired direction—while remaining pleasant and open to help along the way."
