A serious crisis looms in American management today. More and more CEOs are failing; there remains an acute shortage of capable replacements. The true dilemma in leadership is the stagnant state of corporate leadership development. Because companies fail to hone their unit managers' leadership abilities, they are never able to fill their succession pipelines. With unit managers stagnating, companies have difficulty executing at every level, compounding the crisis.

Balancing the short term and the long term is a perennial struggle, but new developments put boards squarely at the center of this dilemma and in need of guidance.

These so-called passive investors (unlike activist investors, passive investors don't have power to exit the fund) own almost 60 percent of the Fortune 500 - and they have found their voice.

Ram Dass explains that we must first acknowledge our humanity if we hope to be an instrument of presence and peace. When we embrace our humanness, we create the space necessary for compassion to arise. We learn to balance the suffering we encounter with the innate empathy of the human heart. We awaken through our life experiences, which become the curriculum for our incarnation. Our humanity itself is the vehicle through which our spirit can manifest. The help we offer is who we are, our very being.

The Hanuman chalisa has 40 verses and couplets at the begining and end.

על הדרך היו מוטלים שרידי השיירה שהופצצה מהאוויר. כלי רכב מרוסקים עלו באש, ועשן כבד התאבך ללא הרף. המכונית השחורה היחתה מוטלת על גבה, דלתותיה קרועות לרווחה, ומתוכה השתפלו גוויית אישה וגווית גבר. לפתע בקעה מן המכונית יבבה רפה של תינוק. רק אדם אחד שמע את קול הבכי, שלח את זרועותיו ואסף לתוכן את הפעוט. רק אדם זה ידע את הסוד הנורא שהתינוק נושא עימו והוא נשבע שלא יגלה אותו לעולם...
