Managing Those Creative Types

Bestselling author Richard Florida tells why creativity adds to the bottom line -- and how companies can keep it flowing.

Creative workers constitute 30% of the American workforce, add trillions of dollars to the country's GDP, and earn 50% of the salaries, notes Richard Florida, author of bestseller The Rise of the Creative Class. So understanding the nature of creativity is more important than ever. In this interview, Florida uncovers what creative workers really want, how to manage them, and whether it's even possible to keep them around.

Gallup Retail Forum 2010: From Spenders to Savers

There is a "new normal" in consumer behavior, and the shift from spending to saving may be permanent. Whether retailers prevail or fail will depend on their ability to capture a larger share of the consumer's shrinking wallet.

At the Gallup Retail Forum 2010: From Spenders to Savers event, leaders will discuss the changing retail landscape and generate ideas on how their organizations can serve the new consumer.

The event will take place on April 14, 2010, at the Gallup Irvine office. To learn more or to register, visit the Gallup Retail Forum 2010 page on the Gallup Consulting Web site, or contact Mary Penner-Lovci (212.548.2940) or Krista Volzke (402.938.6001).
