Carpal Tunnel May Be Genetic Condition
April 1st, 2018
A new medical study suggests that carpal tunnel syndrome may be genetic, rather than cause by repetitive use.
“The idea that CTS is related specifically to typing or overuse of the hands in general is pervasive in modern society,” said David Ring, MD, senior author of the study, to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The findings provide important data to human resources directors and could influence treatment options being developed in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
“It is commonly accepted as true, but according to the scientific evidence, the link between hand use and carpal tunnel syndrome is overstated and may be inaccurate. In contrast, there is strong evidence for an inherent, genetic risk for CTS. CTS sufferers are most likely innocent bystanders and should not be blamed for their illness,” Ring said.

“You don’t find work challenging. If you gain gratification from bringing order to chaos, it is time to move on when you’ve steadied the ship and can put it on auto-pilot. In the best of circumstances, once you’ve turned around an organization, you are in a position to innovate and help grow the company. If you love a big mess, go find another one.

Management Matters:
Business Is Personal
April 1st, 2018
“Managers often think they should be impassive and unemotional, and encourage their employees to be the same. But emotions drive performance, and bosses who don’t acknowledge their own and others’ temperaments can't inspire the best work from their staffs – or even motivate themselves,” advises the article by Carol Hymowitz.
“If we’re preoccupied by worry, resentment or boredom, our mental agility sputters,” said Daniel Goleman, author of “Social Intelligence.” Goleman’s books explores how relationships with bosses and colleagues, family and friends, shape the brain and have physical effects.
