I was wandering around on the Internet this morning and ran across an article about saving money titled "Shop in your own closet!" about magazines. For some reason the title made me think about the people that work at Corum and in every company. Its hard to pass a day without seeing a headline with layoff in the title. Thats not good for the laid off, but in every company I have personal experience with someone unexpected surprises me with how well they take up the slack. The lesson is that there is typically a lot on underused talent in your company and tough times brings it out.
