The Real Energy Crisis-How Much Is It Costing Your Business? his year 3110 institutions have made loans to 82 million of the poorest people in the world.Turn the page of any paper or turn on any news show and you’ll likely hear about the global energy crisis and soaring gas prices. But I’m convinced that the real energy crisis is not taking place in the oil fields of Texas and Iraq or the gas stations of New York and California but rather inside the people and the companies that contribute to our global economy. In a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive Inc. less than 15 percent agree that they feel strongly energized by their work and only 20 percent feel very passionate about their jobs. While part of this crisis can be attributed to management (37% of Managers are indifferent to their company’s fate) a big part of the problem can be associated with worker burnout. 42 This bottom up economic growth in Bangladesh has had an impact on other factors.

Conducting great meetings depends on several activities that occur before, during, and after each event. To help you establish the conditions for success and attain the very best results, this article lists essential tips on using meeting notices, agendas, and summaries.Use Meeting Notices to Alert Your AttendeesMeeting notices act as an "early warning system" for your participants. You should use them regularly and give recipients plenty of lead time -- for example, at least a week. Avoid surprising people with a last-minute summons that disrupts their entire day. Be sure your meeting notice includes all key information:1) Meeting date2) Starting and ending times3) Purpose and objectives To make something from nothing is what visionaries do. In the 1970's few entrepreneurs were looking for opportunities in Bangladesh. What opportunities could be created with millions of poverty stricken people? Yet one man saw something in what appeared to be nothing to most people. His name is Muhammad Yunus, and he founded the Grameen Bank. Dr. Yunus, an economist, and his bank have been awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. How and why did a banker win this year's Nobel Peace Prize? He won the award because he made something from nothing. Dr. Yunus began Grameen Bank by loaning $ 27 to a poor bamboo stool maker and 41 other desperately poor villagers in Bangladesh in 1975. A whole new industry of micro credit, loaning small amounts of money to poverty stricken people, was born. As of August, 2006, Grameen has loaned over 6 billion dollars to over 6.6 million borrowers, 96 percent of them women. Interest rates on Grameen's loans are about 16 percent, and 98 percent of them are repaid. (Typical independent money lenders in poor countries charge 50 percent.) Grameen now employs over 17,000 people. As Grameen has grown, hundreds of other micro credit institutions have been created to serve the world's poorest people. This year 3110 institutions have made loans to 82 million of the poorest people in the world. This bottom up economic growth in Bangladesh has had an impact on other factors.

Dr. Yunus, an economist, and his bank have been awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. How and why did a banker win this year's Nobel Peace Prize? He won the award because he made something from nothing.In the research conducted by Alisa Mosley, 200 out of 247 executives set the price for communications errors between $10,000 and $10, 000, 000. Undoubtedly, communication mistakes cost too much to a company and its’ image to be committed even from time to time. Effective communication not only improves employee understanding and commitment, but has the power to correct the mistakes made in the past. Once corporate image is endangered and loyalty of customers and employees is lost, there is nothing more precious then a fair talk. Organizational communication climate must be rewarding and should flow in accordance with employee expectations. Employees look at the organizational communication system when they try to identify what a Dr. Yunus began Grameen Bank by loaning $ 27 to a poor bamboo stool maker and 41 other desperately poor villagers in Bangladesh in 1975.

The question is whether this is a good idea or not.A business is in many ways the realization of a dream. Instead of working to put money in the pocket of someone else, you are doing it for yourself. Hopefully, you are also starting a business in a field that you find incredibly interesting. As the old saying goes, work in a field you love and you will not feel like you are working. If you can meet this goal, the money will follow sooner or later.As with many things, running a business comes with a unique set of issues that have to be addressed.

Effective management now means more than how you handle your staff. Management also includes how you manage your social reproducibility to others in your community. "There is no way to avoid paying serious attention to corporate citizenship: the costs of failing are simply too high. There are countless win-win opportunities waiting to be discovered: every activity in a firm's value chain overlaps in some way with social factors - everything from how you buy or procure to how you do your research - yet very few companies have thought about this.The goal is to leverage your company’s unique capabilities in supporting social causes and improve your competitive context at the same time.

According to UNICEF, the number of deaths of children under five per 1,000 live births has fallen from 239 per thousand in 1970 to just 77 per thousand in 2004 and the fertility rate in Bangladesh has fallen from 6.4 in 1970 to 3.2 in 2004." Grameen has proved that money can be made when lending to the poor, thus giving the world's banks incentives to focus on the weakest links in society. This approach ensures inclusive growth so that virtually everyone may have access to finance. The Grameen model is based on peer pressure. Money is loaned to individuals in groups. If one person defaults, the whole group is cut off from further credit. If someone is behind in their payments, the group members apply social pressure or help the person pay in order to keep the group's credit standing high. Grameen Bank is an example of a business that truly serves its customers through loans and other programs that help people to gain prosperity, end poverty and suffering, and increase the quality of life for the community at large. Less poverty and suffering decreases the tendencies toward violence, terrorism, wars, and disease often found rampant in poorer countries.
