Bad Bosses Could Be Good
As writers and researchers, the authors typically focus their attention on companies and people who achieve great things, and lead people to extraordinary results. But, when they began talking about who the most influential people in their own careers have been, something strange happened -- they started talking about horrible bosses. Ironically, some past bosses were actually so bad that they also brought out the best from you -- not because you wanted to achieve great things for them, but because you wanted to achieve great things in spite of them. In an attempt to answer the question on how much credit bad bosses get in leading people to better places, the author found a few common threads. They are: 1. how bosses work and manage work, 2. how they interact with people, and 3. who they care about.

A small thanks goes a long way
If managers do not know how to use recognition to engage employees, they will lose their top talent. This is inhibiting for any company, but it can be especially devastating for a small- or medium-sized operation. Successful, effective recognition features three characteristics: It must be frequent, timely and specific. Frequent, informal types of recognition -- also known as spot recognition -- can be easily integrated into an overall recognition strategy and does not require a lot of time or money. The more appreciated employees feel in their work, the more they feel free to suggest new ideas and processes, focus on client and team satisfaction and become more engaged.

South Korea: an overlooked hydrocarbon province?
A forthcoming well about to spud off South Korea in Block V is planned to test the potential of an essentially unexplored rift basin. Should the well prove successful, it could open up a major new hydrocarbon producing province with substantial reserves. The block covers 7,000 sq km. It is divided into 2 parts and lies about 150 km south of the Korean peninsula close to the Cheju Island. The larger Northern Block overlies the Fukue basin, which is a linear graben system oriented notheast-southwest. The Fukue basin has been overlooked by the petroleum industry in recent years. The southwestern unexplored part of the basin is currently at its deepest burial, thus offering a greater chance of exploration success than the drilled area to the northeast, where excellent quality source, reservoir, and seal rocks are proven to be present.
