		<description><![CDATA[As a working mom, I am heartened to see that more employers are embracing flexible work arrangements. Particularly now, with the price of gas hovering around $4 dollars a gallon, a number of companies are moving to four-day workweeks and allowing employees to telecommute.

		<description><![CDATA[I’m a sucker for management books. I read a lot of them—a habit I picked up in business school—and over the course of time I’ve developed a pretty good eye for what is truly great management thinking, as well as what is just run-of-the-mill management chatter.
