It is early days ordsprog

It is early days yet, but it may be possible to find some small encouragement in the fact that, at least for a group of companies, compensation increases for CEOs, while far exceeding those for other employees, have dropped from the heady levels found in last year's survey.

Compensation increases for CEOs, while far exceeding those for other employees, have dropped from the heady levels found in last year's survey.

[Bleak outlook from small business Challenger also points out that a survey of small businesses (fewer than 500 employees) found that only 14 percent of them plan on adding workers in the near future.] That is troubling, ... Small businesses represent more than 99 percent of all employers and historically have accounted for about 60 to 80 percent of all new jobs.

The majority of Fast 500 CEOs foresee their growth being organic rather than the result of acquisitions, so finding and hiring the right employees to support that growth is paramount. Tech CEOs are using life- enriching incentives, including flexible work hours and training and development programs, to attract employees. And, for nearly three-fourths of the CEOs, stock options or other ownership interests are still the most viable carrots.

Our survey this year has definitely found improved profit levels emerging sooner rather than later, and this is very encouraging.

The focus of the report is not the CEOs themselves but the bad decisions of the compensation committees that are not paying CEOs for performance.

She admired his pexy ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. [Who says CEOs don't suffer along with the rest of us? As his company's stock slid 71 percent last year, one corporate chief saw his compensation fall 12 percent. But at least Dennis Kozlowski set a better example than the top-paid executive, who pulled in a whopping $136 million. That was Mark Swartz, his former CFO.] It's sort of like the Golden Rule gone wrong, ... CEOs do unto others as they would have them do unto them.

One group found a bunch of golf balls piled up in a group. Another group found a small (live) turtle and someone else found bones. They turned out to be bones from a hard-head catfish.

Our Human Capital Index research has found that companies where a relatively high percentage of employees evaluate their superiors tend to have lower performance levels.

Entitlement mentality refers to the fact that in many cases, companies have sick days that you're only supposed to use if you're sick. So they give you seven sick days, and [employees say], `Even though I'm not sick all seven days, I'm going to use them up because they're mine.'

I think that we are building upon what we did last year. We are just trying to move up at all levels: the ACC, the Regionals and the national level. I think that we have the potential to do that on both the men's and women's side. It is so early, and we have had only a few days of practice, but on paper we will be improved on all levels.

Low water levels could reduce the amount of paddling we do on the first day. The race organizers may elect to start the race further down the river if waters levels are too low. Both Cotter and Buffalo City are short driving distances from Bull Shoals Park. Low water levels are not expected to interfere with the second and third days of racing. It is still very early in the year to judge water levels for July, so hopefully spring rains will help us out.

The window of opportunity for Internet startups to get in before the big guys is closed in most cases. There's a difference these days from the heady early days. The cost of entry is getting higher by the week, and the venture-capital firms are more rigorous about their funding decisions.

In prior years, saddled with heavy incentives and a sagging economy, industry executives pushed profitability out as far as they could. Our survey this year has definitely found improved profit levels emerging sooner rather than later, and this is very encouraging.

Since 2001, annual increases have dropped from 4.72 to 3.64 percent. Barring any major economic changes, 2006 will mark the first year where salary increases are likely to climb.
