DairyCast Update for Septemnber 23, 2011, How Can Your Experience Impact Others?

Good management thoughts online at DairyCast.com this week. You may want to check this article from Ag Professional on Preventing Embezzlement. When we're focused on making things work in difficult circumstances, we can miss what should be obvious in other areas. It's a good checklist to keep everyone on the uppity-up.

We also happened upon a good online presentation we'll share from the Stanford Graduate School of Business as Dean Emeritus Dr. Robert L. Joss shares his Top 10 Life Lessons. This audio is good for you to share with others. (I liked #8 - "Run It Like You Own It".)
