Productivity is defined as: Doing the right thing (effectiveness). in the right way (efficiency). all the time (occupancy). The only way poor quality can happen is if you do the wrong thing, or the right thing in the wrong way, or if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time. It just seems such a waste if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time.

Next week I’ll be debating at a local high school on a panel with liberal economists about unemployment. Them: the world is ending, the government needs to bail everyone out. Me: nonsense, there are opportunities everywhere. Three signs: The Temp Business is Booming.

Like most Americans, and presumably everyone who reads this post, I have jobs on the brain. I read about them, hear them being discussed during coffee chats, think about them almost constantly and write about them often. The chairman of Gallup, Jim Clifton, is writing about them as well in his new book The Coming Jobs War. Clifton’s big conclusion? That the next 30 years or so, to pick a random time period, won’t be led by political or military force, but rather by economic force.

Internet pioneer and permission marketing author Seth Godin wrote on his blog the other day that there are two kinds of recessions. The first is cyclical, pat of the natural order of things, and has a definitive beginning and end. The other kind is permanent, where jobs go away and don’t come back. Ever. That second one he opines is what we are in now.

Steve Jobs impacted millions of people during his life in a myriad of ways. His death is seminal as well. And it is sad he died a relatively young man with lots of great things yet to accomplish no doubt. I get that. What I don’t get is all the people who think their star should shine brighter because they once happened to cross paths with Jobs. First of all, let me establish one thing immediately, so you don’t get the wrong idea with this post.
