Corporate Compassion: Succeeding with Care

Corporate compasssion is an approach to people-care. Businesses need to react emphatically to their employees' situations in ways which are morally sound and humane. This text argues that not only is this intrinsically desirable, but in the 21st century it will make the difference between companies which fail and those that succeed.

ACT III SCENE I The Study of Tecnicus. Enter Tecnicus, and Orgilus, in his usual Dress. Tec. Be well advised; let not a resolution Of giddy rashness choke the breath of reason. Org. It shall not, most sage master. Tec. I am jealous; For if the borrow'd shape so late put on, Inferred a consequence, we must conclude Some violent design of sudden nature Hath shook that shadow off, to fly upon A new-hatch'd execution. Orgilus, Take heed thou hast not, under our integrity, 10 Shrowded unlawful plots; our mortal eyes Pierce not the secrets of your heart, the gods Are only privy to them. Org. Learned Tecnicus, Such doubts are causeless; and, to clear the truth From misconceit,--the present state commands me. The prince of Argos comes himself in person In quest of great Calantha for his bride, Our kingdom's heir? besides, mine only sister, Euphranea, is disposed to Prophilus: ao Lastly, the king is sending letters for me To Athens, for my quick repair to court; Please to accept these reasons. Tec. Just ones, Orgilus, Not to be contradicted: yet, beware Of an unsure foundation; no fair colours Can fortify a building faintly jointed. I have observed a growth in thy aspect Of dangerous extent, sudden, and--look to't-- I might add, certain-- 30 Org. My aspect! could art Run through mine inmost thoughts, it should not sift An inclination there, more than what suited With justice of mine honour. Tec. I believe it. But know then, Orgilus, what honour is: Honour consists not in a bare opinion By doing any act that feeds content, Brave in appearance, 'cause we think it brave; Such honour comes by accident, not nature 40 Proceeding from the vices of our passion, Which makes our reason drunk: but real honour Is the reward of virtue, and acquired By justice, or by valour which, for basis, Hath justice ...

Argues that, although Fielding condemned romance, he shared virtually the same aesthetic assumptions as Mme. de Scudery and other heroic novelists. Calling this tradition of seventeenth-century epics in prose the Heliodoran novel, Lynch analyzes how romance conventions serve a clear aesthetic purpose.

One Mo' Time is the story of one crew's 35 Strategic Bombing Missions in a B-17 Flying Fortress during World War II. The Details of the missions I describe are from a diary I kept. Some details I have omitted. I am not a prude in any way, but men living on the brink of death act differently than in their normal lifestyle. Therefore, this is rather a story - the fears, the laughter, the tears - of men who fought a war.

"It is one of the most perplexing paradoxes of modern life. As technology dramatically expands our ways of communicating, loneliness has become one of the leading causes of premature death in all technologically advanced nations.The medical toll is made heavier by powerful social forces―school failure, family and communal disintegration, divorce, the loss of loved ones. And while loneliness, the lack of human companionship, the absence of face-to-face dialogue, and the ""disembodiment"" of human dialogue have all been linked to virtually every major disease―from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease, from tuberculosis to mental illness―the link is particularly marked in the case of heart disease, the nation’s leading killer. Every year, millions die prematurely, lonely and brokenhearted, no longer able to communicate with their fellow human being.Drawing on a lifetime of his own medical research, Dr. James Lynch provides in A Cry Unheard a groundbreaking sequel to his best-selling The Broken Heart. In our modern-day world, writes Lynch, telephones talk, and radios talk, and computers talk, and televisions talk, yet ""no-body"" is there. Human speech, he asserts, has literally disappeared from its own biological home―the human heart. He outlines and explains recent medical and scientific discoveries about school failure, divorce, and living alone, and goes on to demonstrate how childhood experiences with ""toxic talk""―adults' use of language to hurt, control, and manipulate rather than to reach out and listen―contribute to an unbearable type of loneliness that, in the end, breaks our hearts ten to forty years later.Hailed by many of our Nation’s leading medical experts as a pioneer and visionary, as well as THE expert in ""affairs of the heart,"" Dr. Lynch predicts that ""communicative disease will be as major a health threat as communicable disease"" in the new millenium. His path-breaking research―from showing how greatly human touch affects the hearts of patients in intensive care units (as well as the hearts of animals in laboratory settings), to his discovery that during even the most ordinary conversations, blood pressure can rise far more than it does during maximal physical exercise―are but a few pieces of the fascinating health mosaic he assembles in this seminal work.With that rare combination of poet and scientist, he describes in moving terms the ""vascular see-saw of all human dialogue."" Blood pressure rises when we speak to others, yet falls below baseline levels whenever we listen to others, relate to companion animals, or attend to the rest of the natural world. No wonder Lynch admonishes us that ""exercises to improve communicative health"" must be undertaken with the same seriousness and commitment as ""exercises on treadmills to improve physical health.""Echoing time-honored Biblical truths and wisdom, he seeds this landmark book with two ominous observations: that loneliness is a lethal human poison, and that failure to act as our ""brother’s keepers"" forces us into communicative exile and premature death. Ultimately, though, he concludes with optimism. Heartfelt dialogue, writes Lynch, can be, and indeed must be, the true elixir of modern life."
