Four Reasons to Have a Recession
Mr. Edward MuzioBy Ed Muzio
Monster.com - September 14, 2010

I'm as hopeful as anyone that the worst of the recession

is over. I've felt the pinch myself and seen disastrous results on loved ones. This has not been fun. Still, at the risk of being labeled overly optimistic -- or perhaps overly pessimistic -- I have to say that I've also seen some good come out of it.

So, I respectfully and humbly offer four reasons why, for the sake of good business, we needed to have an economic downturn.

1. Recessions Demand Clarification of Purpose

In my book -- figuratively and literally -- clear purpose precedes everything else. While that's easy to say, it's remarkably difficult to do. Defining and maintaining an appropriate set of goals for one's own life is challenge enough; doing so for an entire organization is orders of magnitude more difficult. When times are good and money is flowing, it's easy to let the mission get a little fuzzy.

Reasons to be Grateful
At Group Harmonics we are counting our reasons to be grateful this holiday season.

In addition to the recession (that's not a typo - see Ed Muzio's article at left), here are a few of our other favorite reasons to be thankful this year:

1. Our clients, who give us the opportunity to learn and grow as well as continue to have a viable business

2. Our partners and suppliers who help us do everything from publishing newsletters to keeping track of our workload and bookings

3. Our colleagues who offer help, support, feedback, and the invaluable resource of their own professional networks

4. Our partners at CBS/BNET, who continue to produce and direct the awesome set of videos that appear on the Group Harmonics Help Desk. (More coming soon!)

5. Our friends at FT Press and McGraw-Hill, who continue to support Four Secrets to Liking Your Work and Make Work Great

And that's just a few!

Who are you thankful for this holiday season? Don't forget to take the time to say "thank you" this year to the people who support you. They will not only appreciate the acknowledgment, but also be more inclined to continue sharing their awesomeness with you in 2011!
