BioSciences is Growing Exponentially Fredric Abramson on Leadership



Dr. Fredric Abramson
CEO & Educator on Leadership


We Asked Dr. Abramson about TRUE Leadership



I'm struck by what I see as confusion between an individual taking action and someone taking action AND pointing the way for others.
A leader is out in front. A leader knows that bullets come from two directions: in front and from the back.
A leader realizes it is not about him/her but about the ability and opportunity to get others to act in a coherent, cohesive action.
A leader sees chaos and finds paths to sanity.
A leader is in the middle of playing the game, and doesn't ask anyone to do what he/she wouldn't do.A leader sees "a" future, commits to move towards that future, and works to enlist others to join him/her in reaching that future.
A leader knows that perfection is an illusion, and adjusts as the world changes.
A leader realizes that competition can do things better, and that beating the competition is to be even better. A leader doesn't have to con people with platitudes and clever sayings.
Just some personal thoughts. I agree that we have to retake control of our country.
I also believe we have to retake control of our own lives.
Do you really believe that other people know what's best for you?
If you don't, why do you follow their advice blindly?

GREEN Jobs

Alissa Sears of California and New York based Christie Communications, experts in the Green Sector, shares these thoughts:
Despite the current state of the economy, the green sector continues to grow at rapid rates. The Socially Responsible Investment sector (per Social Investment Forum’s Trends Report) represents roughly 11% of assets under management, and has risen from $639 billion in 1995 to $2.71 trillion in 2007 – a 324 percent growth rate, compared to 260 percent growth in the broader universe of professionally managed assets. These trends towards ethical consumerism have also shifted the workforce and the growth of opportunities available for people to "do good" while doing well. In the next five years, we see these sectors continuing to grow with the simultaneous growth of jobs providing new opportunities in alternative energies, green products and services, and amazing growth in the entrepreneurial realm. In an Economist survey of more than 1,250 senior business executives, 57% thought the benefits of pursuing sustainable practices outweighed the costs. We were recently featured in a great book called "Green Careers," a WetFeet Insider Guide that details the process of working green and the necessary skills.Links:http://www.wetfeet.com http://www.betterworldshopper.com
