Getting Past Denial
Floyd Norris, in an International Herald-Tribune piece, "The money is gone. Now what?" makes the point that we had all best stop denying and start accepting the new economic realities.

The challenge is in coming to grips with exactly what this means for your organization. We see too many people acting (and leading) as if this is a hiccup that will soon clear up.
