I took Dave’s advice to heart and decided I only had 30 seconds to extract all of the value I could. <strong>Jim: And? </strong>Chris: Well, I was in such bad shape after downing the bottle that I fell off my horse and landed in a bed of prickly pears. When I finally woke up, my inclination was to wait around to see if anyone would come by to help. I waited about 3 minutes, and then I thought of Dave again. So I extracted everything I could in 30 seconds. <strong>Jim: Did you learn anything? </strong>Chris: Yeah, that guy Dave is a genius. Think he's with McKinsey? <strong>The Boys: Thanks Dave!

C.S.R. is absolutely the obligation of top management to stakeholders and a cornerstone to any profitability plan. C.S.R. takes risk and costs out of the business (ie. compliance to environmental and safety regulations, lower WC costs, etc...), motivates employees (by letting them know you care about them), and serves the Board and Shareholders in higher profitability and less risk (ie. sustainability) long term. To avoid C.S.R. is short sited and eventually brings on costs and risk to the company. Guys:

Speaker said, "Long story short," I thought "too late!". Lesson: provide value in the first 30 seconds. HAT: Watched through 3:00, got nothing.
