In an effectively-managed company, the management team works with the rest of the staff to ensure that all employees are constantly improving in order to serve the best interest of the company. But considering that management's influence can only stretch so far, what happens when management is not in a position to oversee an employee's efforts? Is that employee working to get better on his or her own? According to recent surveys, only 30% of workers indicate that they are making strides to improve their performance at work. As part of his six-part series on waking up your business, Your Mid-Week Mentor, John Rodgers of Dale Carnegie Systems, talks with his colleague at Dale Carnegie, Kevin Crone, about this statistic, and the steps that management can take to ensure that employees have the tools and motivation they need to improve, even when the boss isnâ??t around.

When Jack and Christine Tumpson moved back to the Pittsburgh area in 2000, with the idea of starting a niche magazine devoted to the social and special events niche, it was quite a risk at the time. Between the two of them, they had no publishing experience, and one of their primary competitors was the fully-established "Seen" column in a local newspaper. But Jack's entrepreneurial spirit and determination kept his idea alive, and this month, WHIRL Magazine turns ten years old, with a monthly readership in excess of 100,000. Jack joins The American Entrepreneur, Ron Morris, to discuss his story, the challenges he has overcome along the way, and why he was able to persevere in an industry when many of his competitors folded up shop.
