 Celebrating The Power of People
Susan L. Taylor Helps Us Find Meaning in All That We Are
and All That We Do
If you're sitting at your
desk pondering your next move, angry at your boss, trying
to relate to your coworkers or employees, or searching
for meaning in the madness: Stop. Relax. Breathe and keep
reading. Susan L. Taylor, publication director of ESSENCE
magazine, has some insights to share with you that just
might help.
Taylor's message strikes a chord with all who
listen. Her monthly editorial, In The Spirit, is one of
the most popular features of ESSENCE magazine, and her
books "Lessons in Living" and "In the Spirit" are
bestsellers.
Taylor has guided ESSENCE through phenomenal
growth over the past 30 years, making it the largest and
most highly regarded magazine for African-American women
in the world. Her efforts have been recognized with
numerous honors and a monthly readership of more than 7
million, one-third of whom are men.

 Working
In A Virtual World
Using Digital Project Management Software Keeps
Virtual Teams Connected
-- "California, here I
come" might well have been the rallying cry for thousands
of individuals looking for a booming economy, great
weather and a bright future. But the rallying cry soon
became a nightmarish scream for local governments as they
tried to meet the demands of a burgeoning citizenry. In
particular, they struggled to balance the needs for
housing and associated services with the need to keep the
area scenic and attractive.
 The 24/7
Work Invasion
The Creeping Act is Over: The Work Place Has Launched
an All-Out Attack on Our Personal
Lives
Telecommuting, flex time, virtual
office-each of these phrases is currently being tossed
around in the workplace, in articles and on the Internet.
No longer trapped behind their desks, workers are
connecting to the office from home, libraries and even
parks.
Technological advances have changed the
demands of work. The result? Long hours and blurred
boundaries between work and home. Now, although the
workweek has exploded from 40 to 50, 60 or more hours, we
can choose where we perform some of that work. Is the
choice worth the sacrifice of leisure time? Read on for
several different perspectives.

An Avalanche of Information Keeps Us Constantly
Connected
We all have people in our lives
that we just don't understand. And we've all had those
moments when we wished we could crawl into that person's
mind and ask, "What are you thinking?"
Lowell Jay Arthur, a practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic
Programming, deciphers some of the mysteries of the human
mind through his Motivation Profile. These five
"metaprograms" distinguish different motivation styles,
making it easier to understand why people do what they
do. Read on to get a closer look into how your colleagues
make decisions.

Brief
Cases
The Trouble with
Telecommuting
The new economy has altered the
way we work, how we work and even where we work.
Not on
the Net
More than two-thirds of
low-income homes do not use the Internet, while 22 percent
of high-income households are online.
Mind Your
E-business
E-business has been moving full
speed ahead, but companies are having a hard time keeping
up.
The
Really Early Midlife Crisis
As the new economy
goes through a reality check, so are the hoards of 20- and
30-somethings who have experienced endless success during
this time.
