At least markets managed to hold the gains from the previous week which in the context of the bear market is no mean feat.

We've all heard the term, but too often we fail torecognize the symptoms until it's too late. For entrepreneurs,the sense that this is 'my company' or the belief that 'if Iwant it done right I have to do it myself' causes them to holdon too tightly and limit their results.At the opposite end are managers who 'hire someone to do that'and abdicate their role as supervisor and leader.
