Dear Readers,

As you focus on business leadership and management, one of the resources I’d like for you to remember is BetterManagement.com. BetterManagement hosts weekly Webcasts with thought leaders from around the world; offers business books, Stanford Executive videos and management products; and hosts conferences, seminars and events focused on leadership and decision making.

There’s also a 30-minute monthly business show, called BetterManagement Today , for top decision makers. June’s show, "The New Healthcare Agenda: How It Impacts You," can be viewed on demand. It outlined the changes in the healthcare industry and how they may relate to your business. You can sign up for an e-mail reminder for future shows.
