The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.Aleem Walji works for Google.org - the part of the company that gives money to good causes.

Walji says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.Google.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy.

Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people.

He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your bosss work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully.
