Monday’s blog will continue insight from Jim Collins “Great by Choice.” One of my clients and partner provider wrote a blog that provides insight into the current economy that I thought my readers would find interesting. Read his short blog Ray Dalio says this is no recession.
Dalio runs the biggest hedge fun and has received a better return on his investments than Warren Buffet. You can read more on Dalio in this Wall Street Journal article Ray Dalio Down on Europe, High on Fed. If you read it I’d be interested in your perspective on his views on the economy. Please provide a comment on my blog.

We’ve looked at the importance and frequency of positive reinforcement in previous blogs, How the Best Managers and Leaders Deliver Positive Reinforcement and Employee Feedback – The Need for Frequent Positive Reinforcement.
