The fate of the state’s water depends on this election. But for politicians and voters, it’s mostly an afterthought. The morning temperature is nearing 100 degrees Fahrenheit as Keith Seaman sweats beneath his bucket hat, walking door to door through the cookie-cutter blocks of a subdivision in Casa Grande, Arizona. Seaman, a Democrat who represents this Republican-leaning area in the state’s House of Representatives, is trying to retain a seat he won by a margin of around 600 votes just two years ago.

The head of World Economic Forum LLC, USA says business leaders need an urgent shift in mindset—from reactive to proactive—to contend with the rising risks.   As large parts of the world experience another year of record-breaking temperatures and extreme weather events, the effects of a changing climate are no longer a distant threat.

Good On You gives fashion and beauty brands a sustainability rating. The biggest offenders might surprise you. Our obsession with making ourselves beautiful is making the planet uglier. Beauty is a global, booming $446 billion industry. But it creates a lot of pollution. Skincare and makeup products use a lot of plastic packaging, much of which isn’t refillable or recyclable, which will clog up a landfill.

Alphas are significantly different from their pop-culture portrayal. It’s time for us to shake our traditional perception and instead shed light on the reality of modern and effective workplace leadership.   Have you ever heard the old business school saying about your ideal boss: Would you rather work with the “competent jerk” (more commonly portrayed as an “alpha”) or the “lovable fool”?  It’s one of those impossible questions—a Kobayashi Maru of team management—that pushes us to consider our preferred option in a no-win scenario. 

By DAVID KOENIG and MANUEL VALDES EVERETT, Wash. — Boeing reported a loss of more than $6 billion in the third quarter and immediately turned its attention to union workers who will vote Wednesday whether to accept a company contract offer or continue their crippling strike, which has dragged on for nearly six weeks. New CEO Kelly Ortberg laid out his plan to turn Boeing around after years of heavy losses and damage to its reputation. In remarks he planned to deliver later Wednesday to investors, Ortberg said Boeing needs “a fundamental culture change in the company.” To accomplish that, he said, company leaders need to spend more time on factory floors to know what is going on and “prevent the festering of issues and work better together to identify, fix, and understand root cause.” Ortberg repeated that he wants to “reset” management’s relationship with labor “so we don’t become so disconnected in the future.” He expressed hope that machinists will vote to approve the company’s latest contract offer and end their strike. “It will take time to return Boeing to its former legacy, but with the right focus and culture, we can be an iconic company and aerospace leader once again,” he said. The strike is an early test for Ortberg, a Boeing outsider who became CEO in August. Ortberg has already announced large-scale layoffs and a plan to raise enough cash to avoid a bankruptcy filing.
