“On Monday, new rules for receiving overtime pay went into effect, setting the maximum eligible salary level at $455 per week (that’s $23,660 per year, see Matt Quinn’s story for more details). That’s a steep hike from the previous $155 per week maximum, making it seem like a good thing for workers.”

“Eighteen months after starting this column, business leadership still hasn’t reached perfection. Haven’t they been reading? Why is good leadership still so rare? Maybe it’s because we use a whacked-out definition of leadership. ‘Leader’ has become code for ‘rich guy with an impressive title who orders others around.’ But leading by giving orders left and right with no accountability doesn’t work. We’re living in a world of low loyalty, high mobility, and extreme uncertainty. ‘Push’ leadership will push people right out the door. We need leaders who inspire others to follow, who engender loyalty. We need leaders who practice ‘pull’ leadership.” (Thanks Fast Company Now!)
