19、e terms.When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas for

How about trade!When the Commerce Department reported last week that the trade deficit in June approached $50 billion, it set off a

27、new round of economic doomsaying. Imports, which soared to $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. The larger the trade deficit, the smaller the GDR Should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth.But theres an

28、other way of looking at the trade data.

Thats to be expected, given

33、 what weve been through. But theres a bigger challenge. Can U.S.-based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? Unless you want to pick up and move to India, or Brazil, or China, the best way to do that is through trade. It may seem obvious, but its no lon
