>   New MSCPA Blog!

The Missouri Society of CPAs is happy to introduce our very first blog! 

 

A blog (short for weblog) is an online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs are defined by their format: a series of entries posted to a single page in reverse-chronological order.  Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or reflect the purpose of the website that hosts the blog.

 

As you know, blogs have become a hugely popular and successful means of communicating among professions and groups.  The society fully anticipates that as participation grows on our blog, it will splinter off into a number of blogs that will be specific to disciplines within the profession or facets of our society.

 

Bookmark it, subscribe to it, and let MSCPA know what you think!

>  Second
Day of the Week Remains Most Productive, Survey Shows
Why tackle today what can be put off until Tuesday? In a new survey, 57 percent of executives said Tuesday is the most productive day of the week for employees. Monday was the second most popular answer, although it appears to be losing favor: Only 12 percent of respondents ranked Monday as most productive, compared to 26 percent in a 2002 survey.

>  You're the New Boss, Now What?
Being promoted to a management position for the first time is cause to celebrate. But while becoming a boss for the first time brings a lot of excitement and possibility, it can also have its pitfalls, say Marty Nemko, a career coach in Oakland, Calif., and Dr. Karissa Thacker, a management psychologist.

In the last poll, MSCPA asked you to gauge the size of the issue of the generation gap in your organization.  Your results are as follows:

 

The generation gap is an issue, but we're working together to minimize it. 
             36%  WINNER!

The generation gap is a small issue in my organization.                                                    26%

The generation gap is not an issue in my organization.                                                      21%  

The differences are there, and they are not getting better. 
           15%
