- Air Canada marks 75th anniversary with display of 787
Air Canada celebrated its 75th anniversary by displaying the Dreamliner 787, which is scheduled for delivery to the carrier in 2014. "It's an aircraft that has ultra-long range, a lower cost because it consumes less fuel and fewer seats than a triple 7," said Calin Rovinescu, president and CEO of Air Canada. "It's an ideal aircraft to try some longer-range but thinner routes." The Toronto Star

- How leaders can better reach out to younger workers
Leaders shouldn't be afraid to engage young workers who have views that conflict with traditional thinking, says Mark Mueller-Eberstein, CEO of Adgetec and a professor at Rutgers University.

"Transparency, authenticity and openness are key attributes the leaders of today and tomorrow need to embrace and model within their organization," Mueller-Eberstein says.
