Sure, hopping on an airplane may be quicker, but traveling the country in an RV has plenty going for it, says Jeff Daniels, one of the stars of the 2006 feature
film “RV.” “You have great control of where you want to go or when you want to leave,” he said in a recent interview. “My wife and I are out together with our dogs in the RV. It’s a great way to get around. We can just pull over to sleep at a Wal-Mart, or at RV or truck parks.”

RV sales are on an upswing in Lee County, FL. The RV industry struggled through the downturn, but Tim Lowry, marketing manager for North Trail RV Center, an RVDA member in Fort Myers, FL, said sales are on the rise. The Lee County RV industry was hard hit in 2008, but Lowry’s company started to see business pick up in the third quarter of 2009, even though about half of Florida's RV dealers closed

14 management dos and don'ts to motivate employees
Business Insider

Is your team fully engaged to give its best, day in and day out? In a recent study by TowersWatson, an international HR consulting firm, fewer than 21 percent of employees surveyed described themselves as “highly engaged,” down from 31 percent in 2009. It has often been said that employees rarely quit companies. Instead, employees quit their managers or
supervisors by leaving the company. Mark Herbert, a consultant focused on engagement, says, “Engagement lives and dies on the front line of your business.” Increasing positive managerial behavior and reducing negative managerial behavior will go a long way toward improving employee engagement.
