Big things happening at the Cafe as summer winds to a close. This month’s app addresses the little-known need for cartoons with improvement teams. One of our “In the News” segments covers the intersection of a college, a hospital and West Point and the other one shows how Lean Six Sigma might guarantee you a better Labor Day.
In our “Printed Page” segment we’ll cover a new book that shows how satire can make you a better leader and this month’s Q&A addresses a question about how to keep remote learners engaged. For the Special of the Day we’ll interview prolific business author John Guaspari and discuss his latest book in which he offers a simple solution to the challenge of employee engagement. Make sure the kids catch the bus, grab a go-cup and settle down for another action-packed episode of “Just-In-Time.”
