A weekly post on what I have read/am currently reading.

• Economist.com – Lexington: What’s Eating Appalachia?
• Economist.com – Formula One in the United States: Skidding Around – This one made me particularly sad, simply because I love F1 and think its a great sport. If I could, I would be going down to Austin for the opening of their new F1 track, but thankfully I should be able to see a race closer to home when the competition comes to New Jersey.
• HBR.org – The Best Strategy for Reducing Stress – See also my blog post & commentary on this article. Great read.
• Jugnoo.me – The Future of Social Business & Why Social CRM Will Be Key
• HBR.org – Every Company Should Build a Second Corporation – The only issue I have with this post is how a business can maintain the level or morale and focus on iterating through a product that is necessary to keep the existing business alive, while resources, energy and excitement are being funneled into the “second” business. Perhaps this is by design: the first business continues to throw off cash and fund efforts, while the second one eventually becomes top dog, and the cycle continues.
