...offering them free retraining to move from one division to another--that go far beyond the rudimentary concept of motivating people with pay to get them to work harder. "In competitive times, we all have to achieve more with less," says Tobias Kuschel, director of global talent management at Johnson & Johnson.

Bush already knows his plans for Iraq; he doesn't need the opinion of Susan Schwab or Stephen Johnson - and yes, you get a gold star if you knew Bush's trade representative and EPA administrator. Big Cabinets leak; small coteries of aides who can't be compelled to testify before Congress are much better at keeping their mouths shut...
