Our understanding of workplace success frequently revolves around a few things, like creating an organizations’ culture, giving feedback, taking in account weaknesses and strengths. We hear from guests who say we need to focus our attention elsewhere. We also speak with a few Asian-American activists about racial depictions in the musical “Miss Saigon’. Plus, we take a look at a new projection that shows Wisconsin facing a $2 billion budget deficit two years from now.
