The Best Managers You Never Heard Of: Class of 2010

Editorial

What You Don't Know...

There’s an old saying that what you don’t know won’t hurt you. That’s not precisely true, of course. It’s more accurate to say, if you don’t know about it, you won’t worry about it. Ignorance may, or may not, be “bliss,” but it’s surely not the way you want to go through life.

Survey Says

Are Millennials Really Different?

For decades, as a mid-range Boomer, I have read (and relished) any number of market research reports and surveys that purported to show how different “we” were from any generation that had come before—only to find those same organizations later on made similar claims about Generation X in the workplace, and now Millennials (the kids of the Boomers). Recently, we asked NewsDash readers if they thought that, viewed as a group, Millennials were different.

Roth Is Wrong—for Some People

I have been worried for some time that plan sponsors and participants do not understand the consequences of Roth deferrals. I am concerned that many plan sponsors do not educate participants properly and that many uninformed participants are making Roth deferrals.
